Feminism, to be worthy of the name, has to be something more than mere attention to women’s experience of gender. It matters what that attention produces, what it has to say about women’s lives. “Women are always, essentially this subservient and cannot be otherwise” is not a feminist statement.
It is not “feminist,” to me, to do what much of Munro’s fiction seems to do: to lionize women’s passivity and suffering, or to apply a mysticizing essentialism to their self-destructive desire for men’s love and attention.

Who is she that gazeth down like the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?
