Narratives of Singleness: Fluid Female Identities in Postmodern Times

Editie in limba engleza The book is a valuable and an original contribution to the development of Doris Lessing's and Margaret Atwood's critical study in the landscape of Romanian literary research, taking into consideration the impressive theoretical approaches. Woman's relationship with herself is a popular theme in contemporary social psychology but has never before been analysed in such a comprehensive book-length study. The author's interdisciplinary study combines feminist ideology and theory with narratology and a social-psychoanalytical perspective in order to achieve a refined analysis of the female characters' fluid identities and psychic metamorphoses in their efforts to free themselves from coercive behavioural patterns.

This book makes a significant contribution to the field of feminist studies by positioning itself within a vibrant and longstanding debate on the importance of woman's relationship with herself.
