Mothers of Invention cover

Draws together innovative works of fiction written by French and Quebec feminists in the mid-1970s. The author makes clear the shared ethical and aesthetic commitments that nourished a transatlantic community whose contribution to mainstream literature and cultural productions, including postmodernism, is still being felt today.An examination of the feminist avant-garde aesthetics developed in experimental novels of the mid-1970s.

"Santoro fulfills her objectives quite marvelously through a series of close readings of novels written by four wonderfully chosen writers. She is very clear and engaging." Lynn Penrod, Modern Languages and Cultural Studies, University of Alberta
