Language, Women And Feminine Writing’s Evolvement From Medieval Ages And Eighteenth Century To Twenty-first Century

Résumé: This dissertation examines the feminine writing's evolution (écriture feminine's) through British literary history, from Medieval Ages and Eighteenth Century to Twenty-First Century. In addition, it investigates the strategies employed by the female authors to refute the phallus domination over language use. The study's analysis is chiefly manifested in the works of Christine Pizan's The Book of the City of Ladies, Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and Mary Beard's Women & Power: A Manifesto. The dissertation provides an overview about the concept of feminine writing and exhibits gender injustices and patriarchy's subjugation of women on the level of language use. Thereupon, to achieve the thesis's aims and objectives, the Feminist Theory and a Deconstructive Reading are employed as means to deconstruct the evolvement of feminine writing through British literary history.
