Book excerpt: Notable American Women Writers provides in-depth critical essays on women who are at the top of their game in all areas of writing, from picture books to scholarly writing, from poetry to screenplays, from memoir to philosophy. The women writers featured in this set have been selected to represent not only all types of writing, but all areas of the Americas, including Canada, the United States, Mexico, Argentina, Jamaica, and more. The women in these volumes are artists, social transformers, builders, thinkers, poets, playwrights, populists, elitists, products of their society, and shapers of their culture. They write on such vital issues as sexuality and gender, women's rights and privileges, wars of their eras, civil rights, literary criticism, mental illness, child-rearing, and identity.
