For centuries women?s writing has suffered neglect. That of women from the South has been the most invisible of all, bearing as they ave a double mantle of oppression - of colonialism and patriarchy. Eye to Eye: Women showcases some of the best writing by women from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Arranged in sections such as love and life, work and play and culture and creativity, the book is enhanced with more than forty full page colour photographs to make it a delight to look at as well as to read.
