There are many women writers, some better known than others. Women write most of the time focusing their stories on personal experiences or views on what is happening around them. Other women write fiction about unusual worlds and characters whose struggle or experiences people can relate to. Margaret Atwood, the “Canadian nationalist poet, is a leading figure interested in the need for a new language to explore the relationships between subjects and society” (Omid, Pyeaam 1). Atwood wrote her first novel titled "The Edible Woman"; this first novel classified her as feminist, based on the main character of a strong woman. In an interview with Emma Brockes, Atwood states: "First of all, what is feminism? Second, what branch of it? Am I against women's rights? Actually, no. Am I really a puppet of the women's movement? No , me “I'm too old for that. I have been writing since 1956 and at that time there was no women's movement in sight." Atwood advocates for women's rights, but she never thought of being a feminist while writing about strong women because just like any other women they are tired of reading in books of weak and submissive women. It is clear that Atwood began writing before the women's movement began and this means that Atwood's works are not just feminist, her works represent her art and how she perceives the world. Margaret Atwood is a poet, critic, writer and activist. Atwood champions the issues that concern her and that she sees as obstacles to her community culture, science, feminism and the environment are reflected in her words and in her expression to tell a story in the only way possible.
