Gender and Theory: Dialogues in Feminist Criticism

By: Kauffman, Linda

Book Overview

The political force of feminism cannot be separated from the theories that give it that force. An effective feminist literary criticism must negotiate its relationship to the dominant male voice of traditional practices. Can it change that voice for new ends, or is it robbed of purpose by the inevitably patriarchal nature of traditional discourse?
