Abstract
Feminism is often debated whether it is a movement of a theory or both. Most of the western and American literatures accept it as a moment rather than a theory. The present paper analyses how feminism evolved as a movement and penetrated into literature as a literary form. The world witnessed radical changes in 1960s in empowering women shrinking the gender gap and enabling them to stand in equal footing with men in every field of life. How literature caught hold of the movement in literature has been analyzed with evidences.
