520    "A genre-defying memoir in which Lara Feigel experiments 
       with sexual, intellectual and political freedom while 
       reading and pursuing Doris Lessing. How might we live more
       freely, and will we be happier or lonelier if we do? Re-
       reading The Golden Notebook in her thirties, shortly after
       Doris Lessing's death, Lara Feigel discovered that Lessing
       spoke directly to her as a woman, a writer, and a mother 
       in a way that no other novelist had done. At a time when 
       she was dissatisfied with the conventions of her own life,
       Feigel was enticed by Lessing's vision of freedom. Free 
       Woman is essential reading for anyone whose life has been 
       changed by books or has questioned the structures by which
       they live. Feigel tells Lessing's own story, veering 
       between admiration and fury at the choices Lessing made. 
       At the same time, she scrutinises motherhood, marriage and
       sexual relationships with an unusually acute gaze. And in 
       the process she conducts a dazzling investigation into the
       joys and costs of sexual, psychological, intellectual and 
       political freedom. This is a genre-defying book: at once a
       meditation on life and literature and a daring act of self
       -exposure." -- Amazon.com.
