This book is paying tribute to some exemplary women workaholics therefore as such it is bound to remain inexhaustible..
What they share though is beside the ine gift of a unique inidual talent an exceptional intellectual capacity plus resilience plus devoted hard work.

Last but not least no less than seven Romanian feminine cultural and literary personalities are presented within these pages such as Ana Blandiana Lidia Vianu Rodica Marian Michaela Mudure Luiza Parvu Olimpia Melinte Amalia Precup.
These are followed by three major women writers from the UK Victorian novelist Anne Bronte Virginia Woolf the emblematic writer of British high modernism and Angela Carter a fine representative of British postmodernism unfortunately also dead before her time now.

All in all there are twenty-seven literary and cultural feminine personalities commented upon in this new book.
The beginning is already accomplished in Sophisticated Ladies by quite a number of Peiu s academic essays focusing on such Southern lady writers as Kate Chopin Flannery O Connor Eudora Welty Margaret Mitchell.
On the other hand this new volume could bridge the gap between Romantic Renderings and a further book as just a work in progress for now about Old and New Southern feminine literature.
Each one of the chapters originally dedicated to Emily Dickinson with eighteen of her poems analyzed at that time and Kate Chopin the bold American pioneer of literary naturalism also carefully analyzed in Peiu s same former volume are now dutifully completed by the corresponding four essays added in the present volume each one of these essays deepening and nuancing the first approach of the two 19th century American women writers.
