Description
From the author of The Piano Teacher. Elfriede Jelinek was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2004. Women as Lovers follows the lives of the characters Brigitte and Paula, as the two women transition from dreams of the future, to life with a husband and children. Employing the conventions of romantic fiction, Jelinek dissects the double-standard by which women are held in their traditional place and the price they have to pay in the world dominated by patriarchy.
