The Change in Female Subjectivity in Womens Fiction

This book aims to provide readers with an inclusive reading of Kristevan theories on subjectivity, focusing on semiotic and symbolic phases of the infant, abjection, melancholy, love and revolution. It presents three different types of novels from three well-known female authors in order to study their female characters, who are subjects in process trying to overcome their psychological maladies. In each part, different eras have been chosen to see how female subjectivity has changed throughout the Feminist Waves, starting from the Victorian period until the Third Wave. With its feminist stance, this book is expected to appeal to the students, researchers, and academicians, particularly those in the fields of sociocultural studies and literature. See more
