Question

which concepts are part of feminist criticism? check all that apply.
□ the patriarchal system
□ the restrictions women face
□ the superiority of women
□ the treatment of female characters
□ the work of underappreciated authors

Explanation:

Feminist criticism analyzes how gender, especially women's roles, are portrayed and the systems (like patriarchy) that affect them. The patriarchal system is a key focus as it's the male - dominant system feminist criticism critiques. Women's restrictions are examined to show gender - based oppression. Female characters' treatment in literature is a core part of feminist literary criticism. Underappreciated (often female) authors' work is also explored to highlight gender - based marginalization. “The superiority of women” is not part of feminist criticism as it's about equality, not female superiority.

Answer:

• the patriarchal system
• the restrictions women face
• the treatment of female characters
• the work of underappreciated authors
