Heroines (Semiotext(e) Active Agents) (Paperback)

By Kate Zambreno

$17.95

Kate Zambreno has always been fascinated by the "wives and mistresses of great men," the women history has dismissed as crazy, toxic, or unworthy of legacy. This memoir/biography hybrid gives them their due in a way that feels transgressive and incredibly refreshing. Zambreno tells her own story alongside those of Zelda Fitzgerald, Vivienne Eliot, Lucia Joyce, and others to contextualize and provide evidence for the way women's voices are ignored, diminished, and stolen in literature and in life. Who gets to tell their story? And whose story gets believed? Both referential and the reference, Heroines is mesmerizing, compassionate literary criticism with bite.
