Herspace examines the lives of women who claim and occupy their own space for creative production. The essays in this fascinating volume combine literary theory, autobiography, performance, and criticism, while opening minds and expanding concepts of women's roles both in the home and within academia. Herspace, which includes Jan Wellington's prize-winning essay What to Make of Missing Children (A Life Slipping into Fiction), begins with a discussion of the importance of solitude to the works of a variety of writers, including Margaret Atwood, May Sarton, Virginia Woolf, Marguerite Duras, and Zora Neale Hurston, and then moves on to an examination of the actual solitary spaces of women writers. The book concludes with the stories of modern women asserting their right to a space of their own. These essays, full of pain and new growth, lessons learned and battles fought, resound with the honesty and courage the authors have found in the process of truly making their homes. Herspace consciously brings the personal into the academic, giving you a passport into the world of women writing their own space.
