From Margins to Mainstream : : Feminism and Fictional Modes in Italian Women's Writing, 1968-1990 / / Carol Lazzaro-Weis.

Carol Lazzaro-Weiss studies the fiction of twenty-five contemporary Italian women writers. Arguing for a notion of gender and genre, she runs counter to many Anglo-American and French feminist theorists who contend that traditional genres cannot readily serve as vehicles for feminist expression.
