Publisher's Summary:
One of the most important books of the growing feminist movement of the 1950s, The Golden Notebook was brought to the attention of a wider public by the Nobel Prize award to Doris Lessing in 2007.
Author Anna Wulf attempts to overcome writers block by writing a comprehensive "golden notebook" that draws together the preoccupations of her life, each of which is examined in a different notebook: sources of her creative inspiration in a black book, communism in a red book, the breakdown of her marriage in a yellow book, and day-to-day emotions and dreams in a blue book. Annas struggle to unify the various strands of her life emotional, political, and professional amasses into a fascinating encyclopaedia of female experience in the 50s.
In this authentic, taboo-breaking novel, Lessing brings the plight of womens lives from obscurity behind closed doors into broad daylight. The Golden Notebook resonates with the concerns and experiences of a great many women and is a true modern classic, thoroughly deserving of its reputation as a feminist bible. A notoriously long and complex work, it is given a new life by this its first unabridged recording.
Critic Reviews:
"
The Golden Notebook is Doris Lessings most important work and has left its mark upon the ideas and feelings of a whole generation of women." (Elizabeth Hardwick,
New York Times Book Review)
