What are two goals of feminist literary criticism? Choose two correct answers.

Answer
A
to focus exclusively on female authors and female characters
B
to explore emotional rather than political or historical aspects of literature
C
to explore restrictions placed on female characters in patriarchal societies
D
to evaluate the work of female authors who may be unappreciated
E
to evaluate why female authors are morally superior to male authors

Explanation

Feminist literary criticism examines how gender and power shape literature. It can bring attention to women writers whose work has been overlooked, and it studies the restrictions and expectations placed on female characters in patriarchal societies. It does not assume female authors are morally superior or limit itself exclusively to women writers and characters.
