Discussions on any narrative focusing on the experiences of, about and by women have always had differences as well as similarities. What makes such varying approaches interesting is the fact that the re-readings and re-presentations of the hegemonic narratives necessitated the significance of feminist approaches which forms the major focus in the present volume. A feminist reading of the current narratives could explain how historically, women’s rights and roles have been undermined and how the absence of women was never a concern in the male-centered narratives. Women's writings provide a consciousness that helps individuals consider critically about how differently men and women are dealt. With different dimensions brought in through the various scholarly articles on the differential treatment of women in the highly misogynist society, the book offers the space for the intellectuals, the academic researchers, and scholars in the field of literature and humanities to contribute to the development of an egalitarian world.

United by a common focus on writing by and about women, this collection of contemporary essays, spanning the novel, poetry, drama, film and criticism, emphasises some of the problems of theory and practice posed by writing as a woman and by women's representation in literature. The subjects of individual essays range from the nineteenth and twentieth century novel to avant-garde film, and from Victorian women poets to Russian women poets of today. Drawing on structuralism, psychoanalysis, semiotics, socio-linguistics and Marxist analyses of literature, the diverse essays suggest the variety and vigour of contemporary feminist literary criticism, as well as representing the debates animating it. Successfully bridging the gap between literary criticism and literary production, the scope of this collection will be of considerable interest to those concerned with developments in literary criticism as well as to those in the field of women's studies.

This book marks a radical and powerful intervention in traditional arguments about pornography. Kappeler re-examines the artistic distinctions between fantasy and reality, pornography and erotica, and challenges the legal definition of obscenity as well as the intellectual defence of 'freedom of expression'. By linking images of actual violence with the imaginative portrayal of women in the realm of the aesthetic, she establishes vital connections between modes of representation and social forms of power and domination. It is essential reading for anyone concerned with issues of pornography and sexual politics and related debates in literary criticism and cultural studies.
