This article examines Margaret Atwood’s novel within the framework indebted to the recent shift of feminist studies towards fragility: a notion that no longer has to entail mere passivity or surrender. Written in 1965 and published in 1969, The Edible Woman touches upon issues that are still relevant for the contemporary reader.
