Reviews

?. . . a conscientioous and impressive piece of work that will indisputably be of value to others working in the field.?-Modern Australian Literature

?This compact volume analyzes the writings of five Austrians by means of thematic groupings. It also provides a condensed history of women's roles in modern Austrian history and politics. Two of these women are deceased, Marlen Haushofer and Ingeborg Bachmann; the other three, Barbara Frischmuth, Elfriede Jelinek, and Brigitte Schwaiger, have engaged in conversation with the author - a significant point of interest which definitely contributes to the value and usefulness of the text as a document. Other strong features are a lucid introduction, good definitions of feminism, a subject index, and biographical notes as well as good bibliographical information. . . A good introduction for readers who understand no German as well as for those who do, this would be a good acquisiton for libraries at all levels.?-Choice
