Book Description

K. K. Ruthven looks at the impact of Marxism, structuralism, and post-structuralism on feminist critical practice; the argument that literary language has been shaped by masculine bias; and feminist claims for distinctive styles and traditions of women's writing. An original and provocative study that serves as a valuably clear and sympathetic guide to the complexities of an important issue.
