I bought this book because I needed it for my English Studies career.
It's full of literary texts and genre such as fiction, drama and poetry.
I got to know better the work of Virginia Woolf, Jamaica Kincaid, Emily Dickinson...
I loved this subject and how teaches the pupil to understand gender differences and how women have evolved in the literature, as a writer and as a reader.
