Gender And Reading Essays On Readers, Texts And Contexts [Paperback]

An unprecedented encounter between feminist criticism, reading-research and reader-response criticism...I found 'Gender and Reading' a valuable book to read as a feminist critic. Valuable because it asserts our rights, as women, to read; to read as women. Valuable because it begins a dialogue among so many varieties of criticism and theory. --Susan Squier, 'Women's Review of Books.'
