Feministic Approach in the novels of Margaret Atwood
Keywords:

The current paper aims to concentrate on feminism in Margaret Atwood's books. It then provides the work's conclusion after illuminating human life's paradoxes with a focus on feminism. This essay makes the claim that feminism and inward exploration are strongly related. There are two choices available to everyone: one is to dwell in a world of make-believe like an ostrich, and the other is to enter the room and confront reality. While the first technique would be very handy and pleasant, the second would force one to change their beliefs and attitudes. Atwood is drawn to the second alternative and searches for the truth because she is sure that nothing else will adequately reflect the current circumstances. The standing of women in the household and the function of women outside of the home are the main topics of the essay.
