About this book

A number of historical events of the twentieth century gave rise to migration, immigration, and exile to and within the European continent. This collection represents an effort to raise consciousness about the marginalization of exiled women - artists, writers, political figures, as well as members of ethnic and religious minorities.

Reviews

'The essays in this volume are significant in mapping out the gendered dimension of the exilic experience. As such, they not only expand our understanding of exile as an interstitial reality, but also recuperate the inspired and inspiring lives and works of women who have been doubly marginalized, as both gendered and cultural 'other', from mainstream studies focused solely on men's experiences.' - Nancy Vosburg, Professor of Modern Languages, Stetson University
