LITERARY CRITICISM FEMINIST

FEMINIST CRITICISM Concerned with the ways in which literature reinforces or undermines the… Political Economic Social Psychological …oppression of women

FEMINIST CRITICISM Looks at how aspects of our culture are inherently patriarchal, or male dominated.

COMMON FEMINIST THEORIES Women are oppressed by patriarchy economically, politically, socially, and psychologically

COMMON FEMINIST THEORIES 2. In every domain where patriarchy reigns, the woman is the Other. She is marginalized, defined only by her difference from male norms and values

COMMON FEMINIST THEORIES 3. All Feminist activity, including Feminist theory and literary criticism, has its ultimate goal to change the world by prompting gender equality.

TYPICAL QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN USING FEMINIST STRATEGIES FOR READING How is the relationship between men and women portrayed? What are the power relationships between men and women? What does the work reveal about the operations (economically, politically, socially, psychologically) of patriarchy? What is the fate of female characters?
