This book discusses the theory of feminist literary criticism (gender criticism), showing that an interest in women's writing requires intellectual familiarity with gender issues. It emphasizes caution against meanings produced by language that have become 'fossilized' within the masculine lexicon and its contexts. This dominance is reflected in the interpretation of female texts, where women are often marginalized in both language and discourse.

The author reveals that feminist literary criticism, employing a social gender approach, is based on the idea that gender is a concept structuring the perception and symbolic organization of all social life. This occurs through cultural symbols, rituals, and concepts derived from symbolic meanings in various religious, scientific, and educational doctrines, which definitively and uniformly define man and woman, masculine and feminine.
