摘要：Among the postmodern feminist writers, Margaret Atwood stands towering as an internationally prolific, acclaimed and highly talented woman writer. Her feministic ideology brought her fame and critical acclaim. It is unique in the sense that the writer did not intent to project herself as a feminist and even hated her works to be labelled feministic. She saw the suffering of women and portrayed it in her works with a genuine concern. The present paper argues that Margaret Atwood’s feministic vision is not entirely anti-men but it is rather a critique of gender roles and misogyny, which served to reinforce and perpetuate the subservience of women against their will.
