Suggesting that politics and power are at the centre of Margaret Atwood's fiction, Sheckels examines Atwood's novels from The Edible Woman to The Year of the Flood. Sheckels stresses that Atwood's work should not be viewed as political commentary but rather as a creative treatment of the laudable, but ultimately only partially successful ways in which women and other groups resist the constraints placed on them by institutionalised oppression
