In the Name of Friendship - Marilyn French
Why have I not heard of this author before? She was a major influence on feminism with her 1977 book, The Woman's Room. She wrote many, many scholarly articles and books as well as works of fiction. I am so glad I found this one!
She tells the story of four women friends, from their late 70's to early 30's. Their voices are so real, their conversations intimate, kind, meaningful. It is a book written completely from the female perspective, with no apologies or stereotypes - so refreshing! I bought another one of her books and will read her first.
She did a dissertation on James Joyce's Ulysses and has written extensively on feminism in Shakespeare.
