GYNOCRITICISM ANALYSIS
IN
TRIFLES
 Gynocriticism is a woman-
centered way of approaching a
literary work. It extends
feminist theory by arguing that
women have distinct
DEFINITION experiences that require
separate analytical tools for
examining literature written by
and about women.

from my place and as i got here i said. I’m going to see if i can’t get John Wright to
