More about the book
Exploring themes of patriarchy and female identity, this essay discusses how societal norms suppress women's voices and creativity, as highlighted by Luce Irigaray's critique of the father’s dominance. It examines Angela Carter's 1967 novel, The Magic Toyshop, set against a backdrop of social upheaval regarding gender roles. The essay emphasizes the struggle of women against restrictive stereotypes, advocating for their right to redefine their identities beyond traditional roles such as mother or housewife, reflecting a broader quest for autonomy and self-expression.
