Collaboration in the Feminine
Writings on Women and Culture from Tessera
edited by Barbara Godard

"By framing analyses of multi-culturalism through race and gender, [this text] provides the kind of informed insight that all teachers and students ... require."
Mosaic
"Difference, purpose, community, future — these are key terms that situate Tessera as a feminist project."
Barbara Godard

For ten years some of Canada's most innovative and critical writers have published their work in the literary journal Tessera. With Collaboration in the Feminine, editor Barbara Godard has drawn together selected texts from this important journal to give the reader a sampling of the exciting feminist work to be found in Tessera's pages.

The contributors provided fresh insights into themes such as race and gender, writing and memory, power and ethics, feminist theory and translation. The collection vividly explores the breaking down of formal barriers and the writing across genres that has been such an important facet of this feminist literary project.

About the Editor   Barbara Godard is a founding co-editor of Tessera, and teaches English literature and Women's Studies at York University. She has translated a number of Quebec feminist writers including France Theoret and Nicole Brossard.
