Tatiana Teslenko

Feminist Utopian Novels of the 1970s (eBook, ePUB)

Joanna Russ and Dorothy Bryant

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents an exploration of the reinvented utopia that provided second-wave feminists of the 1970s with a conceptual space to articulate the politics of change. Tatiana Teslenko argues that utopian fiction of this decade offered a means of validating the personal as well as the political, and of criticizing a patriarchal social order. Teslenko reveals feminists' attempt through fiction to envision a new political order.
