Who is the author of the essay “Three women’s texts and a critique of imperialism” (1985)?

Correct option is D

The author of the essay “Three Women’s Texts and a Critique of Imperialism” (1985) is Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. It is a seminal work of feminist and postcolonial theory that examines the ways in which women are marginalized and silenced in both imperialist and postcolonial societies. In the essay, Spivak analyzes three works of literature: Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea. She argues that these texts can be read as critiques of imperialism, but that they also reveal the ways in which women are complicit in the imperialist system.
Spivak’s essay has been highly influential in a number of fields, including feminist theory, postcolonial theory, and literary criticism. It has been praised for its insightful analysis of gender and power, and for its challenge to traditional notions of imperialism and postcolonialism. Spivak is a Distinguished University Professor of English at the City University of New York. She is also a leading scholar of postcolonial studies and feminist theory. She has written extensively on a range of topics, including gender, subalternity, and translation.
