المستخلص

Women's literature is a type of writing done by women. What makes the history of women's writing so motivating is that in numerous ways it is a new field of study. The tradition of women's writing has been much ignored due to the inferior position women have held in the patriarchal societies. This study challenges to explain the vitality of gynocriticism to women's literature to show their own uniqueness that men cannot recognize, and emphasize the recent visible world of their culture. Gynocriticism mainly through Elaine Showalter attempts to build a female basis for the study of women's literature, to present new images based on the study of female experience, rather than to apply male depictions and theories. The study’s aim is to explore the originality and individuality of women's literature because of the theory of gynocriticism. Gynocriticism stresses that women's literature is a reproduction of their true existence and experiences defined by culture and place.
