Synopsis
This volume opens up gendered perspectives on a broad range of 20th-century Scandinavian culture. The book consists of an introduction that theorizes gender and power, and sixteen chapters which explore aspects of gender within a spectrum of disciplines. The author is Senior Lecturer in Swedish and Co-ordinator of Gender Studies at University College London. She has written extensively on Swedish women's writing, particularly that of Elin Wagner, Kerstin Ekman and Selma Lagerlof. ""Putting the work in a social-chronological context helps to follow the development of Wagner both as a writer and as a woman reacting to the world in which she lives."" Book News 11/09
