The Garden of Forking Paths

Is Margaret Atwood’s rape fantasies a feminist story? When I first read the story, to me it was just a story about a woman narrating about a group o f coworker women bragging about how far they were able to go in their rape fantasies, how each of their fantasies was more interesting that those of the others, and in my opinion that was all there was about the story.

…even said: “I’m with women’s lib on that even though I can’t agree with a lot of other things they say”, when she was talking about going alone to get drinks in a nice place. Like I said before, I do believe this story is very well connected to feminism and I expect that the analysis of the facts that I’ve presented in this essay helped me prove I’m right.
