Críticas:

"Creating Safe Space is an extremely important addition to the feminist work on sexual violence. Each essay in this marvelous collection documents how women writers have, for centuries, given voice through art to the abuse they suffered. This collection will ensure that their writing will be read as testimony." -- Louise DeSalvo, Hunter College

Reseña del editor:

Creating Safe Space: Violence and Women's Writing defines the role of women's writing in the face of violence and suggests the degree to which violence has affected women from diverse periods, places, and social backgrounds. The book examines the ways in which women use their writing to redefine their experiences of abuse, to give themselves a voice in order to break the silence imposed on women in patriarchal society, and to start challenging and changing a culture that objectifies, degrades, and destroys women. The women discussed in the book include established authors, such as Virginia Woolf, Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, and Charlotte Bronte, as well as contemporary artists including Anne Rice and Joy Kogawa.
