In this work, Jansen explores a recurring theme in writing by women:  the dream of finding or creating a private and secluded retreat from the world of men.  These imagined "women's worlds" may be very small, a single room, for example, but many women writers are much more ambitious, fantasizing about cities, even entire countries, created for and inhabited exclusively by women.
