The Introduction sets out the critical background and the main feminist critical approaches to literature. Part I, Debates, contains chapters which outline feminist engagements with the canon, gender, the body, sexual difference and ethnicity to demonstrate the ways in which feminist ideas have affected the content of women's literature. In Part II, Genres, five chapters examine types of fiction writing, romance, crime, science fiction, life-writing and historical fiction, to show the effect of feminist ideas on the form of women's literature--back cover
