Feminism and the Many Faces of Doris Lessing

by KPFA Women's Magazine (kpfawomensmag [at] gmail.com)

Gayle Greene, author of The Poetics of Change: The Fiction of Doris Lessing, and professor of English at Scripps College, speaks with Women's Magazine's Kate Raphael about the importance and endurance of Lessing's work. "There are many Doris Lessings," she says, and even Lessing herself didn't always remember her earlier work. Greene talks about Lessing's profound vision of a different and more caring society, and her prescient warnings for the future of the planet.
