Summary:Today, copyright is everywhere, surrounded by a thicket of no-trespassing signs that mark creative work as private property. Caren Irr's Pink Pirates asks how contemporary novelists-represented by Ursula Le Guin, Andrea Barrett, Kathy Acker, and Leslie Marmon Silko-have read those signs, arguing that for feminist writers in particular copyright often conjures up the persistent exclusion of women from ownership. Bringing together voices from law schools, courtrooms, and the writer's desk, Irr shows how some of the most inventive contemporary feminist novelists have reacted to this history.
