9/11 is not simple a date on the calendar but marks a distinct historical threshold, ushering in the war on terror and a supposed \"clash of civilizations. Perhaps no date, since Virginia Woolf declared that \"on or about December 1910 human character changed,\" has marked such a singular point in the perception of time, identity and nature. Women's writing has always been something of a counter-canon, offering modes of voice and point of view beyond that of the \"man\" of reason. This collection of essays explores the two problems of what it means to write as a woman and what it means to write in the twenty-first century Rather than accept that there is a single body of literature that can be labeled "women's writing," this volume explores the ways in which twenty-first-century crises have problematized identity, literature, and narration. Rather than accept that there is a single body of literature that can be labeled “women’s writing,” this volume explores the ways in which twenty-first-century crises have problematized identity, literature, and narration.
