Abstract
Post-colonial feminism seeks to account for the way that racism and the long lasting political, economic and cultural impact of colonialism affect both white and non-white (ex. African American) women in the post-colonial world. Post-colonial feminists do not agree that women are a universal group. Thus, the examination of what truly binds women together is necessary in order to understand the goals of the feminist movements and the similarities and differences in the struggle of women worldwide. Atwood and Morrison use different narrative structures and techniques to reveal the personal and emotional aspects of their characters’ lives. This study analyzes six novels which present different women’s experiences to explore the social myths defining femininity, representations of women’s bodies in art, the social and economic exploitation of women, the culture of oppression, as well as women’s relations with each other and with men. This dissertation is considereda critical post-colonial feminist study that examines how women are represented in post-colonial literature and challenges all the assumptions and stereotypes which are made about women in both literature and society.
