Afinoguâenova -- Mary Augusta Ward's literary portraits of the artist as Medusa / Linda M. Lewis -- Re-visioning the "Vision from a fairer world than his" : women, creativity, and work in East Lynne and Mrs. Doubtfire / Karen M. Odden -- Matrix and voice in A.S. Byatt's Possession / Marguerite Helmers -- Creation and procreationin Margaret Atwood's "Giving birth" : a narrative of doubles / PascaleSardin -- Female voices, male listeners : identifying gender in the poetry of Anne Sexton and Wanda Coleman / Ian Williams.

This collection attempts to place in convergence a few central questions: how has woman?s experience of her body shaped her creativity? Howdo women exist in cultural contexts and, more importantly, how do theyrespond to cultural traditions that impose their conventions and contexts on women?sidentities? Does the experience of being a woman, or more specifically of giving birth, alter the creative process for women? How and in what ways are women?s bodies conduits for ideological messages?How do women?s literary works respond to the variety of different ideologies imposed upon them? Howare the literary genres they use shapedby women?s responses to their cultural positions? Large questions, perhaps ultimately unanswerable, but these are the topics around which this volume revolves in its explorations of British, American, Spanish, and Canadian women artists as well as through thevarious genres in whichthey have written.
