"Female Identity in Feminist Writings" revolves around the thought that Feminism is an ideology with a difference. This makes it peculiarly difficult to analyze and criticize the terms usually applied to ideologies. If women were to be truly equal to men, then there would be a need for female emancipation within both private and public spheres. Perhaps men or the state should have a greater role in child-rearing, realizing women have a greater role in every sphere. Perhaps there should be a "wage" for the work done by women in the private sphere. Whatever the answer, there is agreement among feminists that such divisions are not "natural" or "biological" in origin, but social, and as such, can be reformed by social and political change.
Doris Lessing, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007, is one of the leading writers of our time. Her corpus encompasses a wide range of themes and concerns such as female identity, race-relations and dystopic visions of the future. This book makes a critical study of the different aspects of individual conscience as portrayed in the novels of Doris Lessing. It provides the broader contexts which nurtured Lessing's talent and aspirations, furnishes all the prominent biographical information, and finally offers critical interpretations of the individual works. Her novels studied here include The Grass is Singing, The Children of Violence, The Golden Notebook, The Summer before the Dark, and The Briefing for a Descent into Hell. Contents: Individual Conscience in The Grass is Singing Martha in Quest of Roots: A Study of Identity Crisis in The Children of Violence The Golden Notebook: From Alienation to Integration The Summer before the Dark: Reconstruction of the Self Briefing for a Descent into Hell: A Schizoid on a Celestial Mission Conclusion.

There have been four major movements of feminism in history, all of which have sought to end the mistreatment of women. The first wave of feminism, which emerged in the United States and Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was primarily concerned with expanding women's access to the franchise and other areas of the law. Beginning in the 1960s and lasting into the 1990s, the second wave of feminism was started by women of all races and ethni...
