Description: Women's Worlds, a new anthology of women's writing, was created to make available a broad range of women's voices, from across time, across classes, and across the globe in a slimmer, more flexible, and more affordable format. This new anthology of writing by women includes selections from the fourteenth through the twenty-first centuries, from the first text by a woman published in English (Julian of Norwich's Revelation of Divine Love) to selections by contemporary writers like Barbara Kingsolver, Alison Bechdel, and Zadie Smith. The selections are drawn from Britain and North America, of course, but also from Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Caribbean--wherever English is spoken. While classics of fiction, poetry, and drama are provided, the text also includes essays, song lyrics, domestic handbooks, letters, and diary entries, giving students access to texts that represent the full range of women's experiences and giving voice to women who are often omitted from traditional anthologies of literature. But the text is slimmer and less expensive than the leading anthology of women's literature, and adopters can bundle the anthology with works from the Library of Women's Literature at a discount.
