Feminist Literary Voices

Has feminist literature gone mainstream? And what place do women’s presses have in society as it is today? This program offers valuable insights but no consensus as Gloria Steinem; Germaine Greer; Naomi Wolf; Lynn Crosbie, editor of Click: Becoming Feminists; Virago Press’ Lennie Goodings; and Althea Prince, of Women’s Press, Canada’s oldest feminist publishing house, address these and other issues. Additional topics include personal “click” moments, idealized versus real-world motherhood, equality—and loss of equality—in relationships, and the liberating feeling of menopause. A reading by poet Dionne Brand completes the program. (28 minutes)
