“…Ironically, Thiong'o is nowadays one of the very few African authors consecrated in the canon, while his female writer counterparts narrating the multiple realities of the African continent are invisible in the literature curriculums. Women writers, except for those erected in Bloom's Western canon, have been peripheral and subject to be protagonists as well in elective subjects (Showalter, 1971(Showalter, , 1998.…”

La empatía histórica se define como el proceso de compromiso cognitivo y afectivo que los estudiantes adquieren con las figuras históricas para comprender sus experiencias, toma de decisiones y acciones. La empatía histórica implica el entendimiento de cómo las personas, en el pasado, pensaban, sentían, decidían, actuaban y afrontaban las consecuencias dentro de un contexto histórico y social específico. Esta es una herramienta fundamental para el cambio de paradigma en la enseñanza histórica conectando tres procesos: la contextualización histórica, la toma de perspectiva y la conexión afectiva. Así, la propuesta que presentamos tiene dos objetivos: trabajar la empatía histórica desde la literatura, enfoque novedoso y único, y trabajarla en un aula universitaria. Consideramos que, debido a la exclusión que tradicionalmente han sufrido las mujeres, su literatura es la más pertinente para desarrollar esta propuesta. Por ello, utilizaremos el cuento “A Private Experience”, de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, incluído en The Thing Around Your Neck.

“…As a writer approach when a female reader analyzes a text written by a woman, she focuses on the woman as the producer of textual meaning. The focus is also on female creativity and female language (Showalter, 1999).…”

The study aims at exploring the portrayal of women in “Train to Pakistan” by Khushwant Singh. It is aimed to understand the way the female characters are represented as seductress, femme fatal, and as the angels by a male author through the lens of Reader-Response Theory along with the Anti-Feminist Theory. Being an anti-feminist, Khushwant Singh has presented the women traditionally in negative roles, negating all kinds of freedom and liberation to them. The study examines the ideological assumptions of patriarchy through the representation of women as being seductive and angelic characters. The writer has presented the women as alluring and charming whose purpose is to get the attention of the men for the sake of getting money, by completely negating the lustful and manipulative nature of the men who are exploiting women by taking benefit of their weakness. He has presented Nooran as unfaithful and disloyal to her father because of having an illicit relationship with a dacoit. Haseena is presented as a sixteen-year-old prostitute, serving a man as old as her father just to get money. Juggut’s mother is a good woman who is serving her child, enduring his all kinds of disrespect, insults, and humiliations. The study proves to be significant in order to understand the general and typical view of the men towards the women as the ones whose primary and only role is to serve their male counterparts socially, physically, emotionally, and sexually and to be faithful and loyal to them.

“…Elaine Showalter has noted that the first professional activities of Victorian women were based in the home 2 ; the work of these women exemplifies this process and demands closer examination. Unravelling the history and the works of these "Lady Experts" also highlights the inadequacies of the concept of "separate spheres" as an organising principle, since research indicates that they were far from stereotypical "Angels in the House".…”

“…Showalter has examined English nineteenth-century female novelists and the tradition of women's fiction, but this model can be extended to the domestic advice manuals written during this period. Published in 1876, House Decoration belongs to what Showalter identifies as the feminine phase of women's writing: 'the period from the appearance of the male pseudonym in the 1840s to the death of George Eliot in 1880' 11 . This was a time when 'women wrote in an effort to equal the intellectual achievements of the male culture, and internalised its assumptions about female nature.'…”
