Product Description
Long the standard teaching anthology, the landmark Norton Anthology of Literature by Women has introduced generations of readers to the rich variety of women’s writing in English. Now, the much-anticipated Third Edition responds to the wealth of writing by women across the globe with the inclusion of 61 new authors (219 in all) whose diverse works span six centuries. A more flexible two-volume format and a versatile new companion reader make the Third Edition an even better teaching tool.
"As diversity itself has shaped the evolution of feminist criticism, from its early preoccupation with women's shared experiences to its more recent absorption in the complex issues and assumptions informing English-language texts by women writers of diverse geographical, cultural, racial, sexual, religious, and class origins and influences, so diversity has shaped the revisions of this anthology." —From the Preface

 Amazon fails again September 5, 2009

While the text book is sound and an excellent (and required) addition to my Women's Lit course, I carefully perused each and every title until I saw the exact one required by my class. I chose it, ordered it. Almost a full month later, it arrives, and turns out to be THE WRONG [...] BOOK. This marks a special event in online purchasing for me: Amazon.com has now successfully FAILED with every single [...] order I have made to deliver either a) What I ordered, B) in a timely manner, and/or C) a quality product. [...]you, Amazon.com. You get no more chances from me.

Book was still in package....so it was in great condition. It was delivered in an adequate time as well
This is educational and interesting. September 26, 2008

This book was required for my college course. Even so, it is surprisingly worth reading for those interested in women authors and their works. It has a sampling of most eras, including modern. It also includes a mini-bio of each author. It includes excerpts from novels, short stories, essays, speeches, and poems.
Great service, fast delivery September 15, 2008
