    Background of the Study

    • Feminist Literary Criticism is a product of


    the Feminist movement of the 1960s.

    • Feminist Criticism of the 1960s and


    1970s concerned itself with the
    representation of women in literature as The term “Feminism” first emerged in
    an expression of the social norms about the English language in the 1890s, a
    women and their social roles in society. significant historical moment when
    there was an urgent need to name the
    activities of the women’s movement,
    FEMINIST
    which was vibrant and popular as never
    CRITICISM before. Late nineteenth-century
    feminism joined together women from
    different classes and social
    In the 1980s, it switched its focus backgrounds.
    from attacking male representation of
    the women to discovering forgotten
    and neglected works by women.
    What is Feminist Literary Criticism?

    Feminist Criticism examines images of


    women and concepts of the feminine in
    myth and literature and uses the
    psychological, archetypal, and sociological
    approaches. It is a political form of
    literature that analyzes the questions of
    how male and female relate to each other
    and the world, the repression of women
    and how women are portrayed in literature.
    This approach often focuses on female
    characters who have been neglected in
    previous criticism and is concerned with
    the impact of gender on writing and
    reading. Also, it takes the insights of a
    Feminist lens.
    What is the Feminist Lens?

    The Feminist Lens is a way of


    describing how a feminist critical
    theorist would view a text. It
    involves seeing social patterns and
    social constructs as not essential to
    our understanding of the world but
    as a series of choices and symbols
    that can change over time.

    When working in a Feminist Lens, a


    writer will consider: How are
    people of all genders represented
    in a text?
    What is an example of Feminist Criticism?

    • Feminist Criticism, especially feminist literary criticism, may


    look at two texts from the same period in literary history and
    with similar authors of different genders (ex: E.M. Forrester and
    Virginia Woolf) and compare the depictions of women and
    women’s lives in the texts.

    • Other example is that feminist critics may claim that certain


    male writers address their readers as if they were all men
    and exclude the female readers.
    To summarize it all, Feminist Criticism is
    concerned with the way gender assumptions,
    especially about women, operate in reading and
    writing of literary texts. Feminist critics wish to
    show how literary texts either sustain or
    challenge the structure of patriarchy – a social
    system in which power is kept in the hands of
    men.
