More about the book
Exploring the memoirs of Diane di Prima, Joyce Johnson, Hettie Jones, and Brenda Frazer, this work highlights the often-overlooked contributions of female Beat writers to the Beat movement. It emphasizes the memoir as a significant literary genre among women Beats, documenting their experiences and relationships with prominent male figures like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. By challenging traditional categorizations, the book calls for a re-evaluation of Beat history to fully appreciate the role of women in shaping its literary landscape.
