When asked about her impressions on being called a feminist writer in 2001, Alice Munroexplained that, although at the beginning she used to affirm she was, she neither practicednor knew anything about feminist theoretical approaches whatsoever. She stated: “I thinkI'm a feminist as far as thinking that the experience of women is important” (Feinberg'Bringing Life'). It is precisely part of this female experience what she explores in hershort story “Family Furnishings”, included in Hateship, Frienship, Courtship, Loveship,Marriage (2001).
