"Shifting from contexts, to individuals, to texts, the author provides the reader with a re-vision of women and Joyce. She develops a feminist framework for approaching Joyce, which allows for the mutual communication of conventional and feminist critics, and evaluates his sensitivity to the problems of real women in life and fiction and discusses the evolution of his work from early, realistic depictions to late recreations of the goddess." from the jacket flap.
