In reading the short story, “Up in Michigan”, by Earnest Hemingway, Hemingway appears to take a feministic approach in writing this story. In this story, men are seen as the dominant or domineering partner in the relationship and women are more seen, not heard and are often found in the kitchen cooking and doing house choirs as their womanly/ femininely duties called for in this era.
