The Routledge Introduction to Feminisms in Canadian Literature introduces readers to the shifting historical contexts, theoretical approaches, and literary works that have shaped the relationship between feminist movements and literatures written in Canada. Organized around key themes such as work, violence, collaboration, and motherhood, the chapters provide concepts and case study readings that demonstrate various modes of feminist literary analysis. In doing so, the volume illuminates not only how feminists have read and written literature in Canada, but also how students may engage in feminist critique from multiple anti-essentialist and intersectional angles. The book emphasizes the plurality of feminisms in which writers in Canada have participated and underlines the connections between literature and activism, particularly throughout the twentieth century and up to the present.
