"Since the advent of the 'post-modern' in ethnography, we have been much in need of a marvelous volume such as this, placing 'woman' at the center of the debate. "Women Writing Culture will prove as stimulating for our time as its great predecessor, "Women, Culture and Society was for the 1970s."--Jose E. Limon, University of Texas
"A groundbreaking book--provocative, illuminating, imaginative--and it is a pleasure to read. A trenchant yet always generous feminist critique of the masculinist bias in the theoretical canon of anthropological texts, it expansively and imaginatively maps the future directions of a feminist anthropology. In moving and courageous acts of reconstruction, the writers in this volume boldly cross disciplinary and generic lines, reading fiction as anthropology, writing theater as ethnography, getting personal, radically reconceiving the relationship of self and other and, thereby, the field itself. Feminist scholars of all disciplines will find hereenabling textual and conceptual strategies as well as memorable voices and powerful stories."--Marianne Hirsch, Dartmouth College, author of "The Mother-Daughter Plot
