Feminist Literary Criticism (Feminist Criticism)

Feminist literary criticism is literary analysis that arises from the viewpoint of feminism. Basic methods of feminist literary criticism include:

Identifying with female characters: This is a way to challenge the male-centered outlook of authors. Feminist literary criticism suggests that women in literature were historically presented as objects seen from a male perspective.

Reevaluating literature and the world in which literature is read: This involves questioning whether society has predominantly valued male authors and their literary works because it has valued males more than females.
