注重女權性:選擇公認的女權主義作家的作品,為女權主義文學研究提供英文的文本,彌補這方面原文資料的不足。
注重權威性:作家介紹部分均全文引用國外專門研究者的論述。這些論述大多融匯作家生平與創(chuàng)作研究于一體,具有較高學術價值,能為進一步研究提供方向性指導。
注重流變性:所選作品按照時間順序排列,歷時地表現(xiàn)女權主義作家創(chuàng)作的流變和觀念的革新,使讀者從文學表現(xiàn)上看到女權主義運動內(nèi)容的階段性變化。
注重實用性:每篇小說都附有閱讀思考題,便于教師上課使用或者學生自學。生難單詞有注釋,免除查閱詞典的麻煩。
注重趣味性和思想性:所選文本既富有較強的可讀性,可用于閱讀欣賞,也具有深刻的思想意蘊,可用于專業(yè)研究。

對序言,我頗有些抵觸,覺得一篇序言大抵廣告成分居多,作者借機賣弄的嫌疑也不小,所以我買書一向很少看序言,即便看,也好像從沒有被序言打動而決定掏腰包的;我看書一樣是不理會序言的,如果讀完感覺很好,這才會回頭看看序言,印證一下自己的感受與序言作者承諾要在書中獻給讀者的東西是否一致,而這樣看序言,大約有悖作序者之初衷。序言固然有助于讀者了解編書的意圖、意義、重點及特點、讀者對象、適用范圍等內(nèi)容,但這些東西,讀者翻翻目錄,瀏覽一下部分章節(jié)一樣可以得到,而且更直觀。所以在我看來,書之序言猶如人類之闌尾,盡可割去不要的。然而人之初生,必有闌尾,從出版者的角度看,序言之于書,猶闌尾之于人,是不得不爾、與生俱來的累贅,是一種宿命的伴隨,一笑!既然如此,權且認命,勉為其難寫下以下幾段文字,聊充一序。

Throughout the discussion between Wellington and Will Maiden wood, though they invited his participation, he remained silent, betraying no sign either of interest or contempt. Since his arrival he had directed most of his conversation to Hamilton, who had never read one of his twelve great novels. This perplexed and troubled Flavia. On the night of his arrival, Jules Martel had enthusiastically declared, " There are schools and schools, manners and manners; but Roux is Roux, and Paris sets its watches by his clock. " Flavia had already repeated this remark to Imogen. It haunted her, and each time she quoted it she was impressed anew.
Flavia shifted the conversation uneasily, evidently exasperated and excited by her repeated failures to draw the novelist out. " Monsieur Roux," she began abruptly, with her most animated smile, "I remember so well a statement I read some years ago in your Mes Etudes des Femmes, to the effect that you had never met a really intellectual woman. May I ask, without being impertinent, whether that assertion still represents your experience?"
