Western feminist consciousness in Buchi Emecheta's The joys of motherhood
Quelle: International Letters of Social and Humanistic Sciences, (2015) 42, S 12-20
Inhalt: 
Feminism is a collection of movements which struggles for women's rights. Focusing on gender as a basis of women's sexual oppression, feminist scholarship attempts to establish equal rights for women politically, economically, socially, personally, etc. The Joys of Motherhood highlights Buchi Emecheta's critical view toward colonialism and racism affecting Third world women's lives. Besides this, Emecheta goes further to display African women's invisibility and marginalization-which were out of sight for a long time-in terms of some aspects of Western feminist discourse. Her creative discourse, in this regard, casts further light upon the issue of gender oppression in African feminist study. Hence, this study attempts to examine the way in which Emecheta furthers Western feminist ideology.

Margaret Atwood in the second and third waves of feminism on the basis of Julia Kristeva's theories
Quelle: International Letters of Social and Humanistic Sciences, (2014) 40, S 13-21
Inhalt: Although Margaret Atwood started writing in the second phase of feminism, some of her works show the features of the second and the third wave of feminism. It's clear in Atwood’s Cat’s Eye. Elaine, protagonist of the novel, and other female characters indicate these features. Some of Atwood’s works imply Kristeva's theories. Unlike the second wave of feminism, Julia Kristeva as a postmodern feminist rejects the distinction between sex and gender believing that these two terms respectively represent biology and culture which cannot be separated from each other. This idea can be examined in Margaret Atwood's novel, Cat's Eye, as a feature of the third wave of feminism. The authors of this article seek to analyze Atwood's famous novel, Cat's Eye, in the second and third waves of feminism based on Julia Kristeva's theories.
