Women and Fiction

Women and Fiction is a field of study that explores how women are represented in literature and how women authors have influenced storytelling. It examines themes related to women’s experiences, societal roles, and gender identities, often highlighting overlooked or marginalized perspectives. The aim is to understand the ways fiction reflects, challenges, and changes perceptions of women in different cultural and historical contexts. By analyzing female-authored works and female characters, the field promotes greater appreciation of women’s contributions to literature and encourages diverse, authentic portrayals of women’s lives.
