My column (in Norwegian) on Grete Waitz and admiration has now been posted.
I am quoted in Arifa Akbar’s very interesting essay in The Independent (UK), Friday 13th May, 2011, about women writers and feminism today. The essay is a response to Granta‘s forthcoming issue The F Word. Click here to see the link to the essay. For my own essay on how feminism became the F word, click here and scroll down the page a bit.

I still get quite a few requests for an essay called “Feminist, female, feminine,” published in Catherine Belsey and Jane Moore (eds.), The Feminist Reader: Essays in Gender and the Politics of Literary Criticism (London: Macmillan; and Cambridge, Mass.: Blackwell, 1989), pp. 115-32. This essay is an edited, shorter version of an essay originally entitled “Feminist Literary Criticism,” published in Ann Jefferson and David Robey (eds.), Modern Literary Theory, 2nd edition (London: Batsford, 1986), pp. 204-21. I have now, finally, had it scanned and made it available under “Essays.” (Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to find it.)
