Abstract:

 

This paper aims to analyse Caryl Churchill’s Owners from a feminist point of view. The play is written mostly under the influence of the second wave feminist movement and thus it explors  the key points of the movement. Simone de Beauvoir’s ideas on women are paid attention while discussing the play as she is one of the most significant feminists of the time. Churchill draws  distinctive female characters in the center of the play and approaches male dominance in a variety of ways. The paper deals with a short history of modern feminism along with focusing specifically on second wave feminism and Simone de Beauvoir. İt also interrogates the socially determined roles of woman and impact of patriarchy in Churchill’s Owners. As a result of this, one can comprehend that the playwright sheds light on the problems of women and display them in the play, along with showing the importance of women’s financial and emotional independence that were essential at the era of the play’s production.
