Feminist Texts
Feminists argue that women need to create their own language as existing language in literature has been predominantly ‘male’ centred.
Feminist texts:•Reject oppression from a patriarchal society•Explore woman’s role in society in relation to status, career and expression•Character / heroine stand up against male domination•Non-linear structure and stream of consciousness.
