Writing on the Line

Working-class women have been published in increasing numbers in the 20th century in spite of the many social filters which might prevent them having a voice. The particular characteristics of this voice have never been assessed in spite of the socialist movement, the women's movement and the fact that working-class women are the majority of people in the world. [...] As a new guide to reading, this book is not only a valuable reference but also an inspiring celebration of working-class women's writing.--Back cover.
