Abstract
The Afterword reflects both on the contributions to this collection as well as the question of why avant-garde women’s writing is currently enjoying a marked resurgence of interest. Looking back from the twenty-first century, Sweeney asks what reasons we can pinpoint for the historical neglect of the authors discussed in this volume and what key factors are at play in “rediscovering” them in the present moment.
