The focus of this book in foregrounding the feminine sensibility and sensitivity at war with the hostility of a male-centered universe is a current one within the parlance of contemporary literary discourse. We live in an area of new knowledge-societies which are keenly aware of the reality of hegemony, exploitation and oppression. ER -
