Here is a useful site on some context to the novel [|Woman At Point Zero] And here is a link to her home page.

 Please go to the discussion page to respond to the thread I've started.

Task
As with Chekhov, I would like you to undertake some pre-reading (or post, for those who have already read the novel) research on the author:
 * Biography – note significant dates and events in her life
 * Context – historical, geographical, social and political
 * What was happening during her life time that might have affected her writing?
 * How might where she was born and raised affected her writing?
 * What political events might have affected her writing?
 * Major works
 * What were her major publications and when?
 * How were these critically received?

Make notes on the above. DO NOT CUT AND PASTE INTO A WORD DOCUMENT. You must get practise in note taking and summarizing information.
 * Writing style
 * How would you categorise her writing? Find out what other critics have said about her work. Do you agree, from what you’ve read so far?

 Produce a bibliography and reference your notes properly.
