Focusing on the concept of "home," this collection employs feminist scholarship to examine its varied meanings across different social, class, sexual, ethnic, and racial contexts. Contributors analyze historical, literary, and cultural texts, challenging traditional notions of home and highlighting diverse women's experiences. The book features narratives from a range of women, including elite white women from the U.S. and Canada, rural poor women in the U.S. and France, and a British Caribbean freed slave, offering a rich tapestry of perspectives on what home signifies for women throughout history.
