N2  - The concept of Feminism, in general, has been concerned to an analysis of the trend of male domination in the society; the general attitude of male towards female; the exploitation and discrimination faced by females; the need for and ways of improving the condition of women; and, so on. In concern to literature, this movement has concentrated on the role played by literature to support gender discrimination as well as to oppose it; the reasons for lesser significance of the contribution by female writers in the literary tradition than that of the male writers; the difference in the ways in which works of male writers and female writers, respectively, have represented gender discrimination; and, the ways in which social conditions and literary traditions regarding gender discrimination have affected one another. Feminism is rapidly developing as a significant critical ideology; it constitutes a major segment of the contemporary writing in English. It has emerged as a concept that encompasses both a philosophy and movement for socio-political change based on a critical analysis of male privilege and women's subordination within a given society
