Introduction
Feminism criticism examines the ways in which literature (and other cultural productions) reinforces or undermines the economic, political, social and psychological oppression of women.
女权主义是以妇女为中心的批评,其研究对象包括妇女形象,女性创作和女性阅读等。它要求以一种女性的视角对文学作品进行全新的解读,对男性文学歪曲妇女形象进行了猛烈的批判;它努力发掘不同于男性的女性文学传统,重评文学史;它探讨文学中的女性意识,研究女性特有的写作、表达方式,关注女作家的创作状况;它声讨男性中心主义传统文化对女性创作的压抑,提倡一种女权主义写作方式。
