• W949332529 abstract "If, as Marina Warner comments, fairytale transformations of Cinders into princess represent what girl has to do to stay alive (1995: 195), the appropriation of this theme is continued the novels of the twenty-first century, which push further terms of liberating by breaking down definitions of what is means to be a girl. While early feminist theories tended to focus on as the prime cause of women's oppression, towards the end of the twentieth century feminism sought answers to problematic differences inherent race and ethnicity, but above all, the notion of power became entangled with the question of sexuality. Gender was increasingly open to individual interpretation and to challenge.The legacy of Carter, Woolf and other outspoken writers continues with the author Jeanette Winterson, who combines the tradition of rebellious counter-patriarchal narratives and explicit lesbianism. Her novels The Passion and Sexing the Cherry particular take survival of the sexually unorthodox as their main theme. This chapter takes the divergent expressions of and sexuality begun Angela Carter's rewriting of fairy stories, and continues with vision of the opportunities addressed narratives of transgender and cross-dressing, with examples from contemporary gay and lesbian writers. Such themes also influence male authors, including the Nigerian-British poet and novelist Chris Abani, whose novels tackle head-on the often traumatic negotiations of and sexuality and the conflicts of personal identity choice with today's society.Becoming womanSince Simone de Beauvoir's groundbreaking work The Second Sex, which she voiced the famous phrase One is not bom, but rather one becomes is generally argued to be cultural rather than biological- ly-given entity.

In this novel, the male protagonist Evelyn undergoes surgery to become Eve. Impregnated with his own sperm, the new Eve creates self-sufficient new breed of woman, suitable for the new world emerging out of the ashes of confusion and sexual discrimination. In her new identity Evelyn/Eve enjoys an array of sexual encounters the subterranean world of York and America: experiences that challenge both social and psychological norms.Feminist understanding by necessity had to cross cultural and national divides to create new forms of female connection and solidarity, with postcolonial feminism, particular, aiming at deconstructing the axes of gendered, racialised, and politicised identity. In this light, fiction also addresses bisexuality and transgender issues as one means to direct attention to continuing inequalities, both within ethnicities and across racial groupings.In the novels of Chris Abani, the twenty-first century world of transgender and homosexuality is not one of libidinous freedom and selfgratification, but one entangled with the problematic political and racial environment. Chris Abani's novels deal with ongoing situations involving gender, youth, violence and racial identity Nigeria, Britain, and America. His novella Becoming Abigail, for example, deals with the torturous legacy of the British empire Africa, with London now the capital for the unrestricted immigration of young women to become part of the slave subculture of forced prostitution. …" @default.
