This first book-length study of the intersection of American feminism and the political Left as shown in the writing of Tillie Olsen and Meridel Le Sueur has been acclaimed by critics. It will be of interest to teachers and scholars in women's and American studies, radical literature and history, and specific courses in history, sociology, and political science.
"A meticulous scrutiny of two exceedingly important creative and political lives."
-- Alice Walker
"A great read; a dense, fact-filled, lively book. . . . Like Olsen and Le Sueur, Coiner has not been afraid of the word 'Communist'."
-- Grace Paley
"Advances the debate over the relation of communist politics to literature and greatly enhances our appreciation of two of the U.S. left's most important writers. This is a valuable and important book."
-- Barbara Foley, American Literature
"The most comprehensive, nuanced, balanced, and intelligent treatment of these writers' work and their times."
-- Harvey Teres, Studies in Short Fiction
The late CONSTANCE COINER was an associate professor of English at SUNY-Binghamton.
