Essay / Research Paper Abstract
8 pages in length. Lorraine Code's 'What Can She Know?' is a celebration of gender, with particular emphasis upon issues of feminism and patriarchal control. Indeed, Code portrays the perpetuation of feminism; not only are her writings a solid reflection of her sentiments of a lacking Anglo-American epistemology but so is the manner in which she reflects the female reawakening. Code displays her craft well and does not hesitate to apply her talent as more of a social statement than one of mere entertainment. Thus is the case with her ongoing assertion that there was truly no separation of the sexes in reality, short of the obvious physical differences; rather, her perpetual argument clearly makes the point that the female gender -- no matter how seemingly fragile and delicate -- is indeed just as much an emotionally strong and self-reliant individual as her socially-accepted male counterpart. The writer discusses Code's book as it relates to feminism and patriarchy. No additional sources cited.

strong and self-reliant individual as her socially-accepted male counterpart. To say that women had to fight for their existence throughout history would be
a gross understatement and one that would also be staunchly supported by the likes of Code. Indeed, the road to female freedom and self-expression has been paved with patriarchal
intolerance and characteristic skepticism. That women have been forced to prove their worthiness within the stringent boundaries of a male-dominated existence speaks volumes about the inherent fortitude that comprises
the female spirit. Code implies that the concept of feminism embodies a number of critical theories by which to better address the various perspectives of interdisciplinary connection. As
a means by which to establish a fundamental basis upon which women could be perceived within the myriad components of life, the early feminist movement served to establish a semblance
of organization between and among the foundational elements of contemporary feminism. One can gather from Codes What Can She Know? that throughout society,
