الأدب والنسوية
ما النسويه! ما الذى يعنى أن تكون نسويه؟ ما الغرض من النقد الأدبى النسوى؟ كيف يمكن أن يؤثر فى طريقه قراءتنا؟ ما الذى يربط دراسه الأدب بهذا الجدل السياسى والأخلاقى؟ إن النسويه مفهوم سياسى مبنى على مقدمتين أساسيتين، أولاهما: أن النوعين(الأنثى والذكر) مؤسسه تقوم على عدم المساواه بين الجنسين. وثانيتهما أن عدم المساواه بين الجنسين ليس لضروره بيولوجيه، لكنه ناتج عن الفروق التى تنشئها الثقافه بين الرجال والنساء

An introductory text, very much suitable for undergraduates.
Bifurcated into two parts: the first addresses what feminism means in literary study: reading ancient texts by alleged 'male' authors against the gendered grain, canon formation, recovering so-called 'female' voices. The second section involves specific feminist literary & linguistic theory: Cixous & Irgiaray, Kristeva, and so on. Some discussion by the bye of de Beauvoir, Sedgewick, Moi, Millett, et al. Doesn't quite get to Judith Butler. A final chapter kinda lumps red feminist theory in with critical race theorists and critiques of heteronormativity--an incipient intersectionality section, say.
Insists nevertheless on biological ‘sex� as a significant category, an irreducible difference, as it were, of which I have in the meanwhile become extremely skeptical.
A decent survey overall.

Good introductory book to the connection between literature and feminism, although the second part gets a bit overwhelming.
The part about literature was interesting and I've learned lot of new things, about creating literal canon, male views in literature and lot of other things. On the other hand the second part about feminism was really too much for me. Pam Morris tries to show and explain various influences in feminism and literature, but it is really condensed and hard to follow. Especially the part about psychoanalysis and language, where without some understanding of linguistics and psychology, a reader might have serious problem. I have the understanding of linguistics, but not so much of psychology, so some of the terms and approaches confused me and various authors sort of blended together.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about the connection between feminism and literature, but be prepared for some difficult parts. If you already know something about this topic, this book might be interesting, but a bit obvious for you.

První část byla fajn, u druhé části jsem dostala chuť se zastřelit, takže nemohu hodnotit objektivně.

Český preklad Brno Host 2000, jeden z klasických textov, kde odhaľuje niektoré praktiky kultúrneho a umeleckého sveta, ktorými boli ženy v literatúre (a kultúre) marginalizované - biologický esencializmus, "ženský pohľad", vytváranie literárneho kánonu a temín, ktorý si požičala - falická kritika.

A textbook, basically, but a good one.
