FEMINIST WRITERS AS CHANGE MAKERS

Abstract

He claims that women are influenced by envy
since they don't have the physical attributes of
males. Feminist opponents, on the other hand,
strongly disagree with his assertion, arguing
that the language and experiences of women
are fundamentally separate from those of men.
As a result of these factors, feminists seek not
only to create a distinct body of writing about
themselves, but also to affect fundamental
changes in the socioeconomic and political
standing of women across the world. Attempts
are being made to radically alter the status of
women inside the family unit, the broader
community, and throughout the many
institutions of society. Feminism, which was
originally associated with political activism, has
since made an appearance in literary works.
Feminist literary critique today is inextricably
linked to the political campaign of feminists for
social, legal, and cultural equality. Historically,
feminist theories date back to the seventeenth
century and have persisted to this day in an
effort to I revolutionise the connection between
women and men and (ii) revolutionise the
interaction between texts and their readers.
Feminist theories are still active today. An
attempt is made in this Concept Paper to
explore some of the most important Western
feminist theorists, as well as some of the most
hotly debated themes in Indian literature, in
general, and Odiya literature in particular.
