Elements of Feminist Literature Feminist Literature May Contain: An independent female protagonist Characters, both men and women, that defy gender roles Significant sisterly relationships between female characters A focus on women’s issues, rights, or responsibilities An examination of power dynamics between men and women

Questions to ask while Reading a Feminist Text How do men and women relate to each other in the text? Who holds power in the text? How are gender roles portrayed in the text? Who wrote the text? How did audiences react to the text? Do the characters have feminine or masculine traits? Is sisterhood portrayed in the text? Does the text comment on power dynamics in society?
