      abstract = {Reading Women's Worlds from Christine de Pizan to Doris  Lessing explores a recurring theme in writing by women: the  dream of finding or creating a private and secluded retreat  from the world of men. These imagined "women's worlds" may  be very small, a single room even, or may be more  ambitious, such as the dream of an entire country created  for and inhabited exclusively by women. Sharon L. Jansen  places these texts in conversation with one another,  pairing them in ways that reveal the writers' distinctive  voices even while they speak of the dream they share.},
