Abstract
The present volume of essays joins the literary and academic debate on
the value and power of female voices in literature and beyond, offering a
multifaceted selection of writerly and academic perspectives on themes,
such as various types of femininities, Écriture féminine, storytelling and
memory, gender and ethnic identity, socialisation of women, violence
against, and by, women, female bodies, madness and hysteria, sexism and
religion, etc. The essays collected in the present volume re-member historical/
actual and fictional women and their fate in various historical and literary
periods, allowing the reader to see diachronic changes to the perception
of femininity as well as writing by women.
