Writing the everyday women's textual communities in Atlantic Canada

Summary: "Writing the Everyday is the first book to focus on contemporary women's writing from Atlantic Canada and the communities of writers, readers, and publishers that support it. This area has received scant academic attention, resulting in an unawareness of the vitality of the region's literary traditions and the power of the work of Atlantic women writers in exploring important social issues."--BOOK JACKET.
