Description:
To understand the feminist novel we must first understand feminism. Or perhaps we must understand the nature of the novel. Or perhaps we must ask the questions, “What is feminism?” and “What is the novel?” Or perhaps, these questions are not at all relevant. The answers could never be wholly satisfying. Feminism concerns the equality of women. When I say equality, I mean that women should be able to move through the world with the same ease as men. Women should be able to live in a society where their bodies are not legislated.
