Abstract

A type of literary criticism that became a dominant force in Western Literary studies in the late 1970 ’ s, feminist theory more broadly conceived was applied to linguistic and literary matters. Since the early 1980 ’ s, feminist literary criticism has developed and diversified in a number of ways and is now characterized by a global perspectives. It is nonetheless important to understand differences among the interests and assumptions of French, British and North America,(United States and Canada), feminist critics writing during the 1970 ‘ s, and early 1980 ‘ s, given the context to which their works shaped the evolution of contemporary feminist critical discourse.
