520 _aABSTRACT The study has manifested a feminist stylistic analysis based on the selected short stories written by Alice Munro. It can be said that the analysis based on the literary language and methods can be described as stylistic. Based on the analysis of the short stories written by Alica Munro it can be said that the writer has presented most of the stories from a feminist perspective. According to feminism, the existing society is a male dominated place in which the females have to struggle always to achieve their required rights. However, “The Boys and Girls” and “Walker Brothers Cowboy” have also been written by the researcher from the feminist approach and perspective. However, the entire research has been made based on the critical analysis on the writing styles and the perspectives of Munro. The fundamental aim and the objective of the researcher in conducting this particular research are to identify the contributions of the female writers especially up to the year 1960. Along with it, the researcher has also thought to analyse the writing styles of the feminist writers on the overall literary works and approaches. It has been found that before 1960, the idea or the perception of feminism and the feminist writers were not much popular in the society. In this context, it can be said that even in the literary field in spite of the presence of many female writers, male domination was evident. Therefore, the feminist approach of the writer in her short stories was exceptionally new to the then readers. Based on that, it can be said that the significance of this approach in the literary works of that period should be properly analysed so that it can identify the significance of the works. However, the reason and the significance of conducting this research lie in the fact of realising the importance of this approach and on the female psychology and its impact on the readers. The secondary method of data collection has been conducted by the researcher for this study. On the other hand, the collected data and information were analysed by the researcher with a thematic approach. Female psychology, their sufferings, struggles; breakdowns have been manifested in the short stories. However, after the analysis of the data it can be said that the feminist approach of the stories were introduced and became popular to some extent in the hands of Alice Munro with the help of smooth and lucid language that can easily attract the readers.
