Baltic Belles: The Dedalus Book of Latvian Women's Literature - Baltic Belles Edited by Eglaja

The Dedalus Book of Latvian Womens Literature. In the late 80s and early 90s, the work of authors such as Andra Neiburga, Gundega Repse and Nora Ikstena, heralded a new era of female writers in a country yearning for its freedom which it finally achieved. Nora Ikstenas novel Soviet Milk, was translated into thirty-one languages. Authors who appeared after the millennium like Inga Abele, and Inga Zolude, who have shaped and continue to shape contemporary Latvian literature, round off this collection.
