Description:
Oppositional Voices is an invigorating study of women writers in the late Elizabethan period. Until the 1980s, it was widely assumed that women did not write books during the Renaissance. Virginia Woolf wondered why "no woman wrote a word of extraordinary literature when every other man. it seemed, was capable of song or sonnet".
Expand description
The women discussed in Oppositional Voices did write some extraordinary literature, even voicing concern over certain oppressive ideas and stereotypes. Yet, as Tina Krontirus suggests, what women writers of the Renaissance finally said depended greatly on the fact that they were women writing in a culture inimical to female creative activity.
-- Draws on current theoretical approaches to gender, ideology and culture
-- Emphasizes the complexity of factors involved in the production and interpretation of early women's texts
