Book ID/图书代码： 14780004B09451

English Summary/英文概要： Jane Eyre, Scarlett O’Hara, Hester Prynne, Lily Bart, Anne Frank...these are among the most fascinating and unforgettable figures—fictional and real—in literary history. In A Bookshelf of Our Own: Must-Reads for Women, distinguished author Deborah G. Felder surveys the literary spectrum and selects the fifty most important and admired books by and about women—true classics that have defined and shaped our experiences—from the Middle Ages to the present day.

Part reference book, part popular culture guide, A Bookshelf of Our Own provides thoughtful analysis of each literary treasure, placing it within its historical context and tracing the life and influences of its author. With impeccable research and an engaging, accessible style, Felder brings each work to life, beginning with The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu, an 11th-century masterpiece and one of the world’s first novels. Among the other stellar books on this wide-ranging, multicultural list are Emma by Jane Austen, The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston, and Beloved by Toni Morrison, as well as classics by such literary powerhouses as Virginia Woolf, Adrienne Rich, Edith Wharton, Kate Chopin, Grace Paley, Zora Neale Hurston, and Mary Wollstonecraft.

Any “best of” list is certain to provoke controversy and debate, but few will disagree that these selections are among the finest works of literature ever produced. This collection of perceptive, insightful essays comprises an invaluable resource for libraries and reading groups, an essential primer for any literary enthusiast, and a provocative look at our past and present.
