Book excerpt: No Room of Their Own is a comparative analysis of recent Israeli fiction by women and some of its Western models, from Virginia Woolf and Simone de Beauvoir to Marilyn French and Marie Cardinal. Feldman shows the richness and subtleties of Israeli women's fiction as she explores the themes of gender and nation, as well as the (non)representation of the "New Hebrew Woman" in five authors--Amalia Kahana-Carmon, Shulamith Hareven, Netiva BenYehuda, Ruth Almog, and Shulamit Lapid.
