English Literature - Extended Project

I'm currently studying my A Levels and I'm taking the Extended Project in English Literature. I'm going to look at the feminist views displayed by Angela Carter, but I don't really know how to do it. Would it be better to look at a selection of say three novels; or just one novel? Don't really know what's expected of me, so yeah, don't know where to start :mute:

I did this :smile:

I did three of her novels, but predominantly focused on Wise Children.

Radical feminists celebrate the female body and call for a feminist culture that is different from and superior to masculine culture. That was basically what my first paragraph focused on, and Wise Children is perfect in proving that.

Talk about the different forms of feminism that Carter seeks to use in her novels.

If you have anymore questions then feel free to PM or ask on this thread. I have loads of sources too that I'd be happy to send you if you want.
