Tiffin’s subtitle–Identity, Opposition and the Settler-Invader Woman–speaks volumes as Tiffin reveals the (colonial) female’s struggles of 1) being told her identity through literature written by domineering men–putting her a victim of the men and a murder of the other oppressed people (Castle, 377); 2) opposition by writing their own literature; and finally, 3) being “the settler-invader woman on that ambiguous terrain between mother and other” (Casttle, 383). Women have been treated as second-class citizens for so long. Society’s come a long way in women getting more equal treatment, and yet there is still a long way to go before it’s acheived (if ever).
