Oppositional Voices is a study of six women writers in the late Elizabethan period, who, ignoring Renaissance society's injunction that women should confine themselves to religious compositions, wrote and translated poetry, drama and romantic fiction. Tina Krontiris brings together their work, including at times their voiced opposition to certain oppressive ideas and stereotypes. Rather than simply glorify these voices, her study subtly probes the influence of a culture inimical to female creative activity on the writings of these women.

A Must-Read for Renaissance Literature students
16 May 2001
By Nizar Hermes
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
In refusing to share the patriarchal historiography, Tina Krontiris starts her four-chapter- book, with surveying the history of women writers from the "Early Renaissance Period" to the modern time from eclectic feminist and Marxist lenses. Through focusing on women's struggle to gain recognition and break the mirror that has always reflected them as mere subordinates to men, and, thus, relegating them to be mere objects of their desires and hopes, Krontiris strongly celebrates this struggle that, according to her, has debunked the perpetuating patriarchal discourses of religion, capitalism, authorship, and literary production.
