POSTMODERN FEMINIST ICONS: FAY WELDON AND ANGELA CARTER

Summary/Abstract: Fay Weldon is a prolific author, having written more than thirty-five novels, most of which deal with subjects related to feminine identity. She was also considered an advocate for the women’s liberation movement. Weldon’s characters not only tell stories, they are totally involved in them. Myths, including fairy-tales allow Weldon’s women to dream even those dreams seem to be false. On the other side, Angela Carter, a 20th century English fiction writer, is considered an original, radical and stylish writer, delighting readers with her fierce and witty tales, short stories, novels and essays, her work being mostly based on the classic European fairy tales. The purpose of the hereby article is to bring forward the writing style of both feminist writers and their contribution to feminist literature, by presenting some of their most well-known novels, which deal, more or less, with the condition of women during the postmodern era
