When read as an extrapolation of the context in which it was written, The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood is certainly a feminist novel in that it creates a dystopian vision of a patriarchal caste system. However, Atwood tends to dwell on the feminist positions that are at odds with each other, and critiques this by giving readers a dystopia in which women play a key role in each other’s subjugation. This lack of female solidarity is primarily due to polarized opinions among women regarding…

“‘They Are the Soul of the Council’: The Iroquoian Model of Woman-Power” written by Barbara Alice Mann stands in stark contrast to “The Federalist Papers,” written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. One is a matriarchy; the other a patriarchy. One is characterized by peace and egalitarianism; the other by war and hierarchy. One is a form of governance that we now only read about in books; the other is one we are governed under. Here, the two texts are compared and contrasted…

In a man’s world, as most worlds seem to be, it can be difficult for a woman to achieve a sense of autonomy. Some women fantasize of Utopias where she can stand on her own, such as in Pisan’s The Book of the City of Ladies. However, when living these fantasies women are sneered at, much like the those in Herland by Gillum. Still, women in dystopia do not seem to have the thought of being independent on the horizon, much less in their actions. This is displayed in Huxley’s Brave New World and The…
