About the Book: Literary Feminisms
It is now almost inconceivable that students of literature can pass through
universities without encountering the feminist revolution in literary theory and
criticism. Feminist literary theories are pluralist, borrowing from other types
of theory, such as marxism or postmodernism, but they always remain woman
centered. Courses in womens writing, literature and gender, and philosophy and
literature proliferate requiring readers to reconsider many of the basic
assumptions on which the study of literature was originally founded.
