Feminist Theory and Literary Practice

Аннотация

Women’s writing and feminism have always been closely related because ‘women’s writing’ is a critical category – a product of discourse about the texts women have written –and not the intention of the writers themselves. Women’s writing is a critical, not an authorial, category. There are some exceptions (an increasing number) in the late twentieth century, but it is safe to say that not all female writers are feminist and this is especially true of pre-nineteenth century writers.
