Gender studies are one of the most recurrent themes in twenty-first-century literary debates and scholarly conferences. The recurrence of the theme accounts for the world’s intent to move forward for more inclusive approaches to address social matters. This being said, feminism finds itself to be an effective mode of expression for women and their advocates. Many forms of feminism have contributed to the debate but one of the most effective ways to defend women’s cause and nurture the ongoing debates over the issue is found in the field of literature. As such, this theoretical and critical article provides a survey of the concepts and movements of feminism that have become predominant in literature. The paper covers key facts of influences of Marxist theories on feminist and postcolonial movements/ writers showing a broad picture of reality. It takes into account poignant issues that feminist writers across Africa, America, Asia, and Europe have addressed. The paper comes up with the conclusion that these controversial debates have blended many theories and ideologies backed up by Marxist philosophy to uplift the social conditions of women.
