This book maps the most active and vibrant period in the history of British women's writing. Examining changes and continuities in fiction, poetry, drama, and journalism, as well as women's engagement with a range of literary and popular genres, the essays in this volume highlight the range and diversity of women's writing since 1970.

"It is a culturally sensitive, and nuanced collection of chapters, and will doubtless prove invaluable for researchers, teachers and students in the field. It will find a wide readership among literary historians and literary critics, alongside feminist theorists and scholars of the history of feminism, gender and cultural diversity. ? it brings a much-needed perspective of multiplicity and variation to the more general study of literature." (Karin Sellberg, Australian Feminist Studies, Vol. 33 (95), 2018)
