Angela Carter
Angela Carter was a British author and feminist known for her provocative and imaginative writing that challenged traditional narratives around gender, sexuality, and power. Her notable works, such as 'The Bloody Chamber' and 'Wise Children,' often blend elements of magic realism with feminist themes, exploring the complexities of female identity and desire. Carter's scholarship and literary criticism contributed to feminist discourses, particularly during the 'sex wars' of the 1970s, where she advocated for a nuanced understanding of women's sexuality in contrast to more puritanical feminist perspectives.
