First published in 2002. Feminist scholarship employs gender as a
fundamental organizing category of human experience, holding two
related premises: men and women have different perceptions or
experiences in the same contexts, the male perspective having been
dominant in fields of knowledge; and that gender is not a natural
fact but a social construct, a subject to study in any humanistic
discipline. This challenging collection of essays by prominent
feminist literary critics offers a comprehensive introduction to
modes of critical practice being used to trace the construction of
gender in literature. The collection provides an invaluable
overview of current femionist critical thinking. Its essays address
a wide range of topics: the rerlevance of gender scholarship in the
social sciences to literary criticism; the tradition of women's
literature and its relation to the canon; the politics of language;
French theories of the feminine; psychoanalysis and feminism;
feminist criticism of writing by lesbians and black women; the
relationship between female subjectivity, class, and sexuality;
feminist readings of the canon.
