Women Writers Talk: Interviews with 10 Women Writers

At a time when fiction written by women is at its most exciting, more and more readers are enjoying the achievement of writers as disparate as Iris Murdoch; Fay Weldon;
Michele Roberts and PD James.

Women writers are now able to explore themes of realism and fantasy, tragedy and irony, in way that reaches more readers than ever.
Olga Kenyon's collection of interviews with ten leading women writers takes us closer than ever before to the mind of the creative artist.

Based on over eight hours of conversation her interviews established a particular rapport with the writers she chose to meet, and by allowing her subjects great freedom in the choice of material that they discussed, Olga Kenyon shares with us both their aims and aspirations for their own work and their views on fiction in a wider context.

Olga Kenyon has, deliberately avoided imposing a particular creed upon her subjects.
Her intention from the first was to give her subjects that freedom to reveal themselves most fully. As a result, every dévotee of modern fiction will find an insight into the working of the creative mind.
