This collection of essays brings together an international team of scholars and graduate students to shed light on literary texts in English through the lens of feminist theory. With its wide-ranging aspects on the feminist movement since its inception with Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), the book explores literary representations of female voices from diverse cultures and communities around the world. This book presents women’s struggle within the tight grasp of patriarchy in the works of female writers from diverse communities ─ Dorris Lessing, Toni Morrison, Betty Mahmoody, Azar Nafisi, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Ann Bonwill (translated by Burcu Ural Kopan) ─ and one male writer ─ Khaled Hosseini.
