Description for Reading Women´s Worlds from Christine de Pizan to Doris Lessing: A Guide to Six Centuries of Women Writers Imagining Rooms of Their Own Hardback. Num Pages: 254 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: DSK; JFFK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 224 x 141 x 19. Weight in Grams: 420.
