Feminisms : an anthology of literary theory and criticism by Call Number: PN98.W64 F366 1997ISBN: 0813523893
In 1929, Virginia Woolf wrote A Room of One's Own, defining a tradition of literature written by women. Modern feminist criticism began with Mary Ellman's Thinking About Women. Feminist critics view literature as primarily patriarchal (controlled by males). Feminine characters are seen as passive and emotional while the male characters are dominating and rational.
