Feminism has had, perhaps, the greatest impact of any relatively recent approach to literary theory. It has not only helped create or revive interest in many previously little-known or much-neglected authors but has also raised key issues about gender issues that have influenced numerous other approaches, such as multiculturalism and LGBTQ studies. This volume offers deliberately diverse approaches to women writers, women-centered texts, and feminist methods of interpretation.
