That women writers in a literary world dominated by men could not express their ideas and feelings without reference to male-dominated culture is the basic premise of the book. Works of three women are explored and the different ways they addressed this problem are considered. The author argues that Bronte, Schreiner and Mansfield are important as writers as much for their achievement of inscribing female subjectivity into the novel and story form as anything else.
