Central at the Margin: Five Brazilian Women Writers

Wasserman (English and comparative literature, Wayne State U.) chose the five 20th-century writers because they are or were well known, because they made a career of writing, and because their works have historical or aesthetic interest or both. She establishes a series of conversations between them and between them and the centers of literary and political power in Brazil. Some of the essays have been published previously.
