AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This article identifies the majority of Philippine women writers in English as belonging to the middle-class intellectual elite, a demographic characteristic that the author sees as having limiting consequences upon their writing. She indicates, however, that in the work of some of these writers change is evident, bringing in 'characters drawn from all classes that comprise a nation' (183).
