The Gender Lens Feminist/Queer

What does this lens examine? The gender lens examines traditional gender roles that are placed on us by society. What are some traditional gender roles that we are taught?

The Feminist Lens Came about after the women’s rights movement Looks at the roles of women in a text Is the role traditional to women? Or is the woman breaking her traditional role? Is the text misogynistic or patriarchal?

The Queer Lens Queer critics look at the opposition of traditional gender roles. They may ask themselves: Are there characters in the text that don’t take on traditional roles? Are any characters put in situations that challenge their gender roles? Do characters act differently than their gender is expected to?
