Correct option is D
The following are representative texts of Gynocriticism:
The Female Imagination by Patricia Meyer Spacks (1975)
The Madwoman in the Attic by Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar (1979)
Literary Women by Ellen Moers (1977)
Therefore, the correct answer is (d) A, C and D only.
Kate Millett's Sexual Politics (1970) is not a representative text of Gynocriticism. It is a work of feminist theory that critiques the ways in which sexism is embedded in society and culture.
Gynocriticism is a feminist approach to literary criticism that focuses on the work of women writers. It examines the ways in which women writers have been marginalized and silenced in the literary canon, and it seeks to reclaim their work and to re-evaluate its significance.
Gynocritics argue that women writers have created a unique and distinct female literary tradition. They identify a number of common themes and concerns in the work of women writers, such as the female experience of the body, the relationship between women and language, and the challenges of writing as a woman in a male-dominated world.
Gynocriticism has played an important role in the development of feminist literary criticism. It has helped to raise awareness of the work of women writers and to challenge the traditional view of the literary canon as being dominated by male writers.
