Women’s creativity has traditionally been suppressed, undervalued or ignored, and therefore, women writers had to evolve strategies to express themselves in a male-dominated culture. The Second Wave of feminism in the late 1960s encouraged and motivated women to give rein to their creativity and create conducive conditions for the publication of their creative writings. Feminist criticism has always been interested in the women who write, the context in which they write, and also in what helps or hinders their writing. The present paper analyses the woman writer and the role of feminist consciousness in the development of her creative imagination and its manifestation in her stories.
