Abstract
The History of Literature has very well paved the road for the authors to express, analyse and be gender neutral without bearing the pressure of any stereotypes or encumbering the need to fit in the mould made by someone else to fit in the literary canon. The author Elaine Showalter in her work “Towards a Feminist Poetics” has explained how literature should evolve through the female reader’s point of view. She has divided women writers in three segments and emphasised on the last one. In this whole ordeal she has also coined the term “Gynocritics” which she advocates considering it as a major tool to understand the text of female authors more vividly and profoundly. The use of literary theories such as Marxism, Structuralism are encrypted as not sufficient to decode the gentility or true sense of the text. Need of psychoanalytic approach is required to understand the concept.
