About The Book

<p>This is the first book-length study to read women of the Beat Generation as feminist writers. The book focuses on one author from each of the three generations that comprise the groups of female writers associated with the Beats – Diane di Prima ruth weiss and Anne Waldman – as well as on experimental and multimedia artists such as Laurie Anderson and Kathy Acker who have not been read through the prism of Beat feminism before. This book argues that these writers’ feminism evolved over time but persistently focussed on intertextuality transformation revisionism gender interventionist poetics and activism. It demonstrates how these Beat feminisms counteract the ways in which women have been undermined possessed or silenced.</p>
