Editorial Reviews

Review

Miller's volume is useful for ready reference since it gathers many current women writers in one volume. Recommended for public and academic libraries.
–Choice, Sept. 2003

...an author nationality index makes it easy to find writers by nationality. This index also shows how well Miller fulfilled her intention to make the book truly global. A bibliography arranged by country/region also facilitates further reading by nationality. Who's Who in Contemporary Women's Writing is an excellent resource for instructors interested in globalizing their women writers' courses, as well as for pleasure readers who want to expand their horizons.
