Beginning in Paris in the 1920s, women poets, essayists,
painters, and artists in other media have actively collaborated
in defining and refining surrealism's basic project-achieving
a higher, open, and dynamic consciousness, from which no
aspect of the real or the imaginary is rejected. This anthology,
the first of its kind in any language, displays the range and
significance ofwomen's contributions to surrealism. It
includes nearly three hundred texts by ninety-seven women
from twenty-eight countries.

In
this
daring, postrnodem autobiography, Baty recounts her search
for love and community on the Internet. Taking Jack Kerouac's
On
the Road
as a
point
of
departure,
sbe describes both
an
actual
road
trip to meet the object ofan e-mail romance
and
the
cyber-search
for connection that draws so many people into the
matrix
of
the
Internet. Written In a bold, experimental style that mixes e-malls,
poems, quotes, and puns into expository text, her book stands as a
vivid feminist critique of our culture's love affair with technology
and its dehumanizing effect on personal relationships.
