Travelling in Womens History with Michle Robertss Novels

Travelling in Womens History with Michle Robertss Novels: Literature, Language and Culture is a journey to discover Robertss work as a feminist writer, novelist and memoirist. An overall analysis and detailed overview of Michle Robertss novels first provide the reader with a study of Robertss rewriting of stories that have been inspired by historical, mythological and religious women who gain a voice in her fiction. Not only will the content of Robertss novels be explored but also its connection to form, as this feminist writer has always linked body to language. Second, the book analyses personal and public discoveries in Robertss memoir, Paper Houses: A Memoir of the 70s and Beyond (2007). The personal, professional and political journeys the writer-protagonist strolls in London will be part of a feminist culture and language that the memoirist preserves in her autobiography. Finally, two conversations with Michle Roberts from 2003 and 2010 are presented in a last chapter in order to illustrate Robertss arguments when writing as a woman.
