A Study of Feminine Perspective

Men and Women are two invaluable constituents of society, but, sadly enough the place and status of women in our society, since the times of Mary Wollstonecraft's path-breaking book has much to be desired. Women are relegated to a subordination not sanctioned by biology but in obedience to strong cultural forces and social tradition. This issue needs to be studied under the term "feminism". The Margaret Atwood's novel The Edible Woman is studied from a feminist angle. She is a famous Canadian author, who has portrayed women characters from a new perspective. In order to study feminism, some issues like is the place and the role of women in society, the treatment she receives in family, at the workplace and in society have be studied .At the same time, it is essential to give a serious thought to how women are projected in literature. In view of this thought the present researcher decided to embark on this topic.
