Feminist criticism can be divided into two distinct varieties. The first type is concerned with woman as
reader - with woman as the consumer of male-produced literature, and with the way in which the
hypothesis of a female reader changes our apprehension of a given text, awakening us to the
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
significance of its sexual codes. I shall call this kind of analysis the feminist critique, and like otherkinds of critique it is a historically grounded inquiry which probes the ideological assumptions of literary
phenomena. Its subjects include the images and stereotypes of women in literature, the omissions and
misconceptions about women in criticism, and the fissures in male-constructed literary history. It is also
concerned with the exploitation and manipulation of the female audience, especially in popular culture
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
and film; and with the analysis of woman-as-sign in semiotic systems. The second type of feministcriticism is concerned with woman as writer - with woman as the producer of textual meaning, with the
history, themes, genres and structures of literature by women. Its subjects include the psychodynamics
of female creativity; linguistics and the problem of a female language; the trajectory of the individual or
collective female literary career; literary history; and, of course, studies of particular writers and works.
