  • When considering new trends in contemporary Canadian literature written by women, one of the most striking features to be noticed is a clear shift from victimisation to affirmation and celebration. Examples of this change can be found in the latest novels by Margaret Atwood, Aritha Van Herk and Joy Kogawa compared and contrasted with some of their earlier ones. Female characters become assertive and powerful as they reject both passive and aggressive attitudes (typical of their double colonisation) in order to progress towards more positive perceptions of human relationships.
