This work, intended as the first of a two-volume study of the ways in which women writers from different races, cultures and nationalities often choose similar, alternative routes across the "borders" of their literary place. For example, Buchi Emecheta's and Bessie Head's personal exile in Britain and Botswana structure the form as well as the content of their writing. This volume offers an overview of these border issues in some Anglo-American and Caribbean women's writing, encompassing authors such as Jean Rhys, Zora Neale Hurston, Margaret Atwood and Adrienne Rich.
