Doris Lessing is a readable yet theoretically informed study of this vastly complex and important writer that attempts to account for her wide and lasting appeal and that hopes to reach many of the readers Lessing herself reaches.

Gayle Greene is Professor of English and Women's Studies, Scripps College. She is the author of Changing the Story: Feminist Fiction and the Tradition, and coeditor, with Coppelia Kahn, of Changing Subjects: The Making of Feminist Criticism.
