Abstract

This paper analyzes the connections between feminist politics and postmodern aesthetics as demonstrated in recent women's fiction. It intends to investigate the much debated problematic of postmodernist and feminist ideologies by examining certain key texts written by Angela Carter, who is a British novelist. Angela Carter's "Wolf-Alice," "The Company of Wolves," and "The Werewolf" are examples which transform revolutionary aesthetics strategies usually associated with post-modern fiction to strengthen its feminist political edge. The first section highlights the theoretical frameworks of postmodernism and feminism accordingly showing the different perspectives from which Carter's work would be analyzed. The second section is devoted to Angela Carter's three short stories. .
