" (Ibid, p120). As Moi goes on to point out, a good deal of women"s writing does not fit into this definition. The often-cited Mills & Boon is the opposite of what feminist women"s writing seeks to address the reader with. Male dominance and females swooning, Mills & Boon offers escapist reading if nothing else. But Mills & Boon books remain political in itself, as it still presents a challenge to feminists in their agenda of eliminating patriarchal dominance within society. Although the American-centric feminist theories call for equal access to society, French feminist philosophy believes that language itself is the area of study most worthy of feminine inquiry. It is the very divisiveness of women"s writing – Anglo, French, Radical, Lesbian, Black etc that in itself women"s writing at least at a academic level will seem to remain political. People are also often at odds with a feminist theorum of equality and togetherness yet also an exclusiveness that (like any academic discipline) seems to shun men and women alike. Tom Absher argues in his book 'Men and the Goddess", "To begin to undo the assumptions of patriarchy, men must avail themselves of feminist thought to understand patriarchy"s destructive history and its destructive effects in the present." (Absher, 1990, p xiii) and that patriarchy is, ".a literal subjugation and oppression of women and a figurative but real subjugation and disparagement of the feminine in men." (Ibid). .

             Elaine Showalter concept of gynocritics "woman as writer – with woman as the producer of textual meanings, with the history, themes, genres, and structures of literature of women.", highlights the process of reshaping literature - although for equality it sounds rather 'mono". There are two keys aspects to understand where women"s writing has come from; the first is that conquerors have always written history not the vanquished, and the second is that power cannot exist without politics or bias.
