Since the 1980s, however, there has been a virtual explosion of commercially successful Hebrew fiction by women that includes many traditionally male genres, such as the historical novel, fictional autobiography, and the mystery novel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNo Room of Their Own\u003c\/i\u003e is a comparative analysis of recent Israeli fiction by women and some of its Western models, from Virginia Woolf and Simone de Beauvoir to Marilyn French and Marie Cardinal. Feldman shows the richness and subtleties of Israeli women's fiction as she explores the themes of gender and nation, as well as the (non)representation of the \"New Hebrew Woman\" in five authors—the \"foremothers\" of the contemporary boom in Israeli Women's fiction: Amalia Kahana-Carmon (\u003ci\u003eUp on Montifer, With Her on Her Way Home\u003c\/i\u003e), Shulamith Hareven (\u003ci\u003eCity of Many Days, Thirst, The Vocabulary of Peace\u003c\/i\u003e), Netiva BenYehuda (\u003ci\u003eThe Palmach Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e), Ruth Almog (\u003ci\u003eWomen, The Story of a [Writer's] Block, Roots of Air\u003c\/i\u003e), and Shulamit Lapid (\u003ci\u003eGei Oni\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yael S.
