Abstract
Ever since the dawn of civilization, there has been a struggle to liberate women from male oppression. Feminism is an expression of resentment at the unjust treatment meted out to any woman. In literature, it refers to any mode that approaches a text with foremost concern for the nature of female experience. The inequalities against which the feminist have raised their voice of protest-legal, economic and social restriction on the basic rights of woman-have existed through out history across the world in all the civilizations. Naturally, the principle of feminism was articulated much earlier and its ischolar_mains can be traced in the history of human civilization.
