Prof. MAHMOOD ALI AHMED | | Publisher : | | | Bridge Center | | Article URL : |  | | | Abstract : | | | This review in gyno perspectives aims at studying feminist and
anti-feminist perspectives regarding woman writers views on their
own sex. It shows the differences in scenes and depiction of characters
and their spheres. In some cases, the sphere is a room as in Virginia
Woolfs A Room of Ones Own (1865). In other cases, this sphere is as
wider as a city like Christine de Pizans The Book of the City of Ladies.
This sphere is allegorical, pertaining to the size of space given to some
women rather than to others. This study focuses primarily on gynoperspectives through ages and gives examples according to Elaine
Showalter’s (1941-) three phases of woman which are: feminine,
feminist and female phases. Showalter herself coined the term
gynocriticism in literature to woman as a consumer who reads male’s
writing and as a writer who writes disguising herself in a male
identity using pseudonyms, taking names of the other sex to gain
public acceptance.
Some writers concentrate on woman’s happiness, her role as a
housewife and to what extent she influences her husband or other
people. Also according to others, if she wants to display her opinion,
she must have money and a room. | | Keywords : | | | gyno-perspective, androcentric, Silly Novels, city of
