Abstract
This dissertation examines the feminine writing's evolution (écriture feminine's) through
British literary history, from Medieval Ages and Eighteenth Century to Twenty-First Century.
In addition, it investigates the strategies employed by the female authors to refute the phallus
domination over language use. The study's analysis is chiefly manifested in the works of
Christine Pizan's The Book of the City of Ladies, Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the
Rights of Woman and Mary Beard's Women & Power: A Manifesto. The dissertation provides
an overview about the concept of feminine writing and exhibits gender injustices and
patriarchy's subjugation of women on the level of language use. Thereupon, to achieve the
thesis's aims and objectives, the Feminist Theory and a Deconstructive Reading are employed
as means to deconstruct the evolvement of feminine writing through British literary history.
