Features: This book studies Dostoevsky from a "feminist" perspective, aiming to reposition him within the context of the late 20th century. It extracts elements related to women's issues from Dostoevsky's vast intellectual resources, transcending the feminist viewpoint to discuss women and their modern positioning within a broader context. The book also touches upon topics such as the social roles of gender, sexuality, the retreat of traditional male chauvinism, and the inner tension of men in times of change. Based on Dostoevsky's portrayals of women in his works, the realities of women being raped and abused by men, as well as his construction of the "female," this book explores his major works. Although this exploration of Dostoevsky is approached from a "feminist" perspective, the "women's issue" has not been integrated into a larger framework. The book does not intend to impose feminist ideology on the author but rather seeks to expand feminist discourse through Dostoevsky.
