A criticism can compare a literary work with other works published during the same period. A criticism can compare one work of an author to other works also by that author. A criticism can compare a theme in the literary work of one author to the literary works of other authors who use the same theme.

Women, Nature, Literature, and the Classroom Book Review By Antonia Gorman Ecofeminist Literary Criticism: Theory, Interpretation, Pedagogy edited by Greta Gaard and Patrick D. Murphy (Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 1999). $19.95 paperback. 256 pages. Ironically, the thinking that placed humans above and separate from nature paved the way not only for ecological exploitation in the name of human progress, but also for social inequity. If nature was an inert machine (so the logic went), it was because nature was pure body. Humans, on the other hand, were said to be body and mind. To be fully human, therefore, was to separate oneself as much as possible from the vicissitudes and demands of the body. From this perspective, some humans were seen to be less human than others, because they were less transcendent of bodily requirements. Women and all people of color were placed in this class. In the 1960s, feminism developed a sustained critique of the reasoning used to justify the subordination of women. Later, ecofeminism extended the critique to other subordinated groups, examining the interconnections between the oppression of women, nature, and people of color. At the same time, ecofeminism advocated the application of its developing theory to specific movements, actions, and practices.

Feminist and Womanist Criticism of African Literature: A Bibliography By Sharon Verba July 20, 1997 Changes in Feminist Criticism of African Literature Ngambika , which was published in 1986, followed by Women in African Literature Today in 1987, articles by Kofi Owusu and Elleke Boehmer in 1990, the 1990 issue of Current Writing: Text and Reception in Southern Africa Essays on African Writing 2: Contemporary Literature published in 1995 and The Marabout and the Muse: New Approaches to Islam in African Literature in 1996. All of the articles in the first section of Ngambika overtly tackle the issue of the representations of women in the works of African authors. Carole Boyce Davies writes one of these articles: "Maidens, Mistresses, and Matrons: Feminine Images in Selected Soyinka Works." In it, she argues that Soyinka often offers only stereotyped images of women which fall into one of three categories: the foolish virgin in rural settings, the femme fatale in urban settings, and the masculinized matron. Those characters which fall in the latter category, in Davies' opinion, come closest to being non-stereotypes, but even they are drawn with "no depth" (81). The "foolish virgins" and the " femme fatales In the years following the publishing of Ngambika , several journals and monograph series devoted to African literatures published issues on women as authors of or characters in African literatures. One of the first was the

38. Verba: Essay Part 3 on criticism in Third World Women s literature in combination This bibliography is organized by authors and also without focusing on a specific country, region http://www.indiana.edu/~librcsd/bib/verba/essay-3.html

Feminist and Womanist Criticism of African Literature: A Bibliography By Sharon Verba July 20, 1997 Methodology This bibliography is, in every sense of the word, selective. African authors were included if an article (in English or French) could be located which discussed him or her from the angle of feminism, womanism, or the treatment of gender. Authors were not excluded or included on any other basis, including race and gender. Interviews were included for many of the female writers because such interviews often are a main source of feminist thought (their own) on their works. The sources I used to find these articles were the bibliographies of African literature located in the journal Callaloo (1987-89 and 1990-93), the MLA Bibliography , the African studies bibliographies for the years 1995-96, the CD-Rom resource Women's Resources International, 1972-August 1996 , as well as various library catalogs for monographs, whether collections or single-authored. In addition, I scanned the bibliographies of articles and books to find other relevant citations. There are several good bibliographies which focus, at least in part, on feminist criticism of African literatures from the 1970s through the mid 1980s. Brenda Berrian's Bibliography of African Women Writers and Journalists , Carole Boyce Davies' "A Bibliography of Criticism and Related Works" in Ngambika , and Barbara Fister's bibliography on criticism in Third World Women's Literature in combination cover this earlier period very thoroughly.
