In particular, this reading will be formulated through applying the work of second-wave feminist Kate Millett, which focuses on exposing the reprehensibility of patriarchal oppression. To begin, Nabokov consistently constructs Humbert to display

Marjane Satrapi says in multiple interviews that she does not subscribe to feminism; instead, she describes herself as a humanist. However, her graphic novel memoir, Persepolis, has several themes at its core that convey feminist ideals. Throughout the novel, Marjane constantly expresses frustration with Iran’s strict regulations on women. She also grows up with strong female relationships in her family; these women help shape Marjane into the woman she is today, a woman who won’t stand for inequality

I am a feminist because I believe that males and females are equal and should have the same rights. Males and females have the same capacities of doing everything the opposite gender does. Man and woman are both humans that their gender is the only barrier to their differences. Women have been used for multiple things during the years but never really valued for what they do and all the work that they do that is not appreciated.

Margaret Fuller is one of the most inspirational figures in American literature.
