Over 300,000 copies have been sold in Germany since 1975.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShedding and Literally Dreaming\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of eight stories written a decade later, portrays women living together in rural settings, independent of men. The autobiographical essay “Euphoria and Cacophony” traces the extraordinary reception and backlash that greeted \u003ci\u003eShedding\u003c\/i\u003e and Stefan’s emergence as a writer and a symbol of the German women’s movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn resonant prose, and with a refreshing honesty, Stefan speaks to the universality of women's lives, a concept popular in the 1970s and 1980s, and ripe for re-discussion now in the 1990s. Stefan was a pioneer in \"experimental writing\" before the phrase was coined, and her writing about women's lives is as immediate today as when it first exploded on the German literary scene.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Verena Stefan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43357007249526,"sku":"9781558610842","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_82d0f003-4617-43c9-bcbe-54c4581a4c26.jpg?v=1777500089","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/shedding-and-literally-dreaming-9781558610842","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
