Study Guide to Margaret Atwood: The Handmaid's Tale (1986) - 4 views

  • language of "protection of women" could slip from a demand for more freedom into a retreat from freedom, to a kind of neo-Victorianism.
  • The language is feminist, but the result can be deeply patriarchal, as in this novel
  • Without some sense of the varying agendas of mid-20th-century feminists and the debates among those agendas this novel will not make much sense. Women who participated in the movement from the late sixties and early seventies responded to this novel strongly, often finding it extremely alarming. Younger women lacking the same background often found it baffling. Ask yourself as you read not whether events such as it depict s are likely to take place, but whether the attitudes and values it conveys are present in today's society.

Gwen Harwood Gender Analysis - 2 views

  • The patriarchy of the society within the context of which poet Gwen Harwood constructed her poetry, is observed, sometimes criticized and often challenged in the collection of poems found in the text 'Gwen Harwood, Selected Poems'. The representation of the images of men, women and gender differences to which a society consciously or unconsciously subscribes are captured through her writings.

      I think this is a little awkward - as though it is trying to sound more intelligent than it is - but it certainly gives you something to think about. When writing your own essays you should consider that, despite being female Harwood is writing in a male field for a male audience.
