There are many views about feminism in the short stories, novels and any other literary works. Comparatively, feminism is revealed in the poetry more frequently. Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish and achieve equal political, economic, cultural, personal and social rights for women.
