ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the way that feminists can undertake a gendered analysis focusing on the larger-scale structures at the level of discourse, that is, above the level of the sentence. It is the intention of this chapter not to focus on content as if it were a self-evident given, but to see content, the substance of texts, as something which is the negotiation of textual elements and codes and forces outside the text which influence both the way that the text is constructed and the way that we decipher what is written.1
