Synopsis: This collection explores how women writers in the English-speaking world transform personal intimacy into political engagement, challenging cultural oppression across genres—life writing, novels, poetry, and theatre—from the 19th century to today. Guided by the feminist slogan &“the personal is political,&” it bridges feminist, decolonial, ethnic, and queer studies, revealing how gender-based domination intersects with other forms of oppression. The authors highlight how these writers, across various forms of expression, imagine new modes of resistance and carve out space for social change.
