Abstract:
"Writing Woman, Writing Place analyses the ways in which contemporary women writers in the two 'settler' colonies of Australia and South Africa explore notions of self, identity and place in their fiction. Writing Woman, Writing Place will be of essential interest to students and academics within the fields of postcolonial literature and women's writing."--BOOK JACKET.
