Boulder-pushers: Women in the Fiction of Margaret Drabble, Doris Lessing, and Iris Murdoch

This study examines the female characters in the fiction of Margaret Drabble, Doris Lessing, and Iris Murdoch from a feminine point of view. Various new aspects and striking similarities between the three authors' women are shown up. Although its methods are scientific, this is not an «academic» investigation, but a book to be read by women who want to know their counterparts and by men who want to know women's problems.
