Description:“Whenever Belles Lettres arrives in the mail, it’s like greeting a trusted, thoughtful, and well-travelled friend who is going to tell me the books I most want and need to read. Its reviews connect women’s writings to their traditions, criticize in a way that helps writers make our work better, and always remember that women’s ideas must stand the test of women’s experience.”These sentiments from longtime reader Gloria Steinem captured perfectly the founding editors’ intentions for Belles Lettres: A Review of Books by Women, which premiered in 1984 as a forum for celebrating, promoting, and preserving literature by women. The editorial mix included timely reviews; original poetry, photographs, and personal essays; interviews, rediscoveries, and retrospectives; and theme sections based on ethnic, national, and cultural groupings. We considered titles from both trade and independent presses, with an emphasis on supporting the work of noncommercial literary ones.From the outset, Belles Lettres cultivated diversity through the books chosen and the reviewers who engaged with them. We spotlighted Jewish, African American, Latina, and Asian authors, and we covered the international scene through special sections on writing from Australia, the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Africa, Latin America, and more.Belles Lettres was accessible to and enjoyed by the general reader, as well as being valued by librarians and academics. We were quoted frequently in Contemporary Literary Criticism and in Black Literature Criticism. Our readers appreciated the attention to international writing, the works by women of color, and the interviews and rediscoveries. Our reviews and essays focused on literary writing, and we strove to assign pieces to creative writers and informed educators/scholars.Throughout our history, the women of Belles Lettres have been honored to do our part in furthering an awareness of what Gloria Naylor once called “the feast awaiting women and men in need of a balanced perspective on the richness existing in American and world literature.” The banquet endures; have a seat at the table and dig in!We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
