Carolyn G. Heilbrun

    Carolyn Gold Heilbrun war eine amerikanische Akademikerin und produktive feministische Autorin, die sich sowohl wichtigen akademischen Studien als auch populären Kriminalromanen unter dem Pseudonym Amanda Cross widmete. Ihre wissenschaftliche Arbeit spezialisierte sich auf die britische moderne Literatur, mit besonderem Interesse an der Bloomsbury Group. Durch ihre Schriften erforschte sie das Leben und Werk von Frauen, um deren Erfahrungen und intellektuellen Beiträge zu beleuchten. Heilbrun hatte es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die literarischen Stimmen von Frauen, die historisch übersehen oder marginalisiert worden waren, neu zu entdecken und neu zu bewerten.

      "...Heilbrun builds an eloquent argument demonstrating that writers conform all too often to society's expectations of what women should be like at the expense of the truth of the female experience. Drawing on the careers of celebrated authors including Virginia Woolf, George Sand and Dorothy Sayers, she illustrates the struggle these writers undertook in both work and life to break away from traditional 'male' scripts for women's roles"--Back cover
