feminist literature
Gender-equality-focused writing
Feminist literature encompasses writing that examines women's experiences, challenges gender inequality, or advances feminist ideas.
The term covers both creative works—novels, poetry, essays—and theoretical texts analyzing patriarchy, sexuality, and power.
Classic examples range from Mary Wollstonecraft's 18th-century treatises to contemporary fiction exploring women's inner lives.
Her thesis focused on feminist literature of the 1970s.
