    1. Introduction

    It is imperative to learn how to critique a literary selection because it helps you develop critical
    thinking skills. In this lesson the discussion will be revolving on the literary criticism using the
    lens of feminism.

    Feminist criticism, or gender studies, focuses on the role of women (or gender) in a literary text.
    According to feminist criticism, patriarchy, in its masculine-focused structure, socially dictates
    the norms for both men and women. Feminist criticism is useful for analyzing how gender itself
    is socially constructed for both men and women. Gender studies also considers how literature
    upholds or challenges those constructions, offering a unique way to approach literature.

    11. Discussion

    Feminist theory and various forms of feminist critique began long before the formal naming of
    the school of literary criticism. In so-called first-wave feminism, the "Woman's Bible," written in
    the late 19th century by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, is an example of a work of criticism.

    Feminist literary criticism has since intertwined with postmodernism and increasingly complex
    questions of gender and societal roles.

    Tools of the Feminist Literary Critic

    Feminist literary criticism may bring in tools from other critical disciplines, such as historical
    analysis, psychology, linguistics, sociological analysis, and economic analysis. Feminist
    criticism may also look at intersectionality, looking at how factors including race, sexuality,
    physical ability, and class are also involved.

    Feminist literary criticism may use any of the following methods:

    Deconstructing the way that women characters are described in novels, stories, plays,
    biographies, and histories, especially if the author is male
    Deconstructing how one's own gender influences how one reads and interprets a text, and which
    characters and how the reader identifies depending on the reader's gender

    Describing relationships between the literary text and ideas about power and sexuality and
    gender
