description Feminist movements in the present day bring revolutionary ideas to many established notions, social mythologies and, most importantly, the literary canon.

Feminist theorists and philosophers are contributing to these trends from their own critical position that, in most cases, reflects, among other things, the background from which they come and their own experiences within feminist theoretical framework.
