Exploring the intersection of gender fluidity and feminist empowerment, this study delves into the body as a political entity in Angela Carter's final four novels, written between the 1970s and 1990s. It highlights how Carter's portrayal of the body challenges traditional notions of gender while simultaneously celebrating female identity as a source of pleasure and strength. The analysis offers insights into the complexities of body politics within the context of (post)modern literature and theory.
