This work analyzes the hybrid forms women create to express multiple and conflicting identities in a culture that is seen to silence persons not of the dominant gender, race, ethnicity, class or sexual orientation. Providing a theoretical framework for approaching women writers and women's writing, Freedman explores the power of the cross-genre compositional practice of such authors as Adrienne Rich, Gloria Anzaldua, Cherrie Moraga, Maxine Hong Kingston, Louise Bernikov, Marge Piercy and Alice Walker.
