“Femininity” is a turning point in feminist approaches. One feminist controversy is whether femininity is biological or socially constructed. Liberal feminists consider it as non- essential, socially constructed and in the service of capitalism. Contrariwise, romantic feminism finds the status to be an asset and views it as not only a weak point but attempts to render the whole world feminine. This article has depicted these two discourses in the feature film “Adam’s Son, Eve’s Daughter”.
The result shows that though the movie is based on signs derived from liberal feminism, it simultaneously makes some criticism of romantic feminist nature.
