We have chosen this interview because Margaret Atwood presents indetail her intentions with some of her books. The author has been drawn into the feminist camp, andshe has been famously denying such involvement. In the interview she explains how aspects of herfiction came to life as a consequence of our past actions. The purpose of this article is to highlight thearguments that build up her belief and the roots of inspiration for some of her novels. The article canbe useful to students focusing on the Canadian fictional novels with a particular interest in feminism.
