The course offers an insight into feminist theories of the 2^nd half of the 20^th century to the present day on the examples of poetry and prose writing of important Anglophone women writers. The focus will be on the meaning and significance of patriarchy and the changes it brings in the private and public spheres of life. In the first part of the course we will talk about the politics of intimate life and the ethics of care and vulnerability, while in the second part we will focus on the social reproduction theory by reading representative working-class women’s novels in order to understand the connection between economic exploitation and social vs. private oppression of women in the contemporary capitalist society.
