Abstract/Summary
This study focuses on women's writings taken from The Forbidden Fruit: Women Write the Erotic. The study covers ten short stories and five poems, some in English and some in Filipino, selected from the said anthology. These texts are discussed through close reading, and the theoretical frameworks of Elaine Showalter and Helen Cixous. In this study, the images of women as projected by the female writers in their works, as well as the definition of eroticism as described within each text has been determined. Through these analyses, the characteristics of Philippine erotic literature as written by women have been discovered.
