Gender Criticism

Workshop 8 includes a reading that introduces us to "Gender Criticism" .
I can probably guess what that might be about just by the title.
On page 2033 it explains that this type of criticism examines how sexual identity influences the creation and reception of literary works. 
It doesn't surprise me that it began with the "feminist" movement...(Im pro-feminist)
Feminist critics believed that the culture was so completely dominated by men that Literature is saturated with unexamined "male produced" assumptions.....guys are good at that!
Well, reading further it also mentioned that the last 20 years showed expansion studies  even including gay and lesbian critics in the field whom described their discipline as the "Queer Theory"!
