The correct option is A, C and D only.

Gynocriticism (or gynocritics) is a term coined by the feminist literary critic Elaine Showalter in her essay "Toward a Feminist Poetics" (1979) to describe the study of women's writing. It focuses on the history, styles, themes, genres, and structures of writing by women, analyzing the female creative experience rather than simply adapting male-centered critical frameworks.

Let us examine each of the texts listed in the question to determine their association with Gynocriticism:
[A] Patricia Meyer Spacks’ The Female Imagination (1975): This work is widely recognized as one of the pioneering texts of gynocriticism. It examines how women writers depict their own experiences, focusing on the distinct ways the female mind engages with literary creativity.
[B] Mary Ellmann’s Thinking About Women (1968): While a foundational work of feminist literary criticism, Ellmann's text primarily focuses on exposing and analyzing male stereotypes of women in literature (phallic criticism). It precedes the formal formulation of gynocriticism, which focuses on women-centric authorship and production.
[C] Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar’s The Madwoman in the Attic (1979): This landmark text is a classic example of gynocriticism. It explores the 19th-century female literary tradition, analyzing how female writers struggled to find a voice within a male-dominated literary establishment and why they frequently employed the trope of the "madwoman" to express confinement and rebellion.
[D] Ellen Moers’ Literary Women (1976): This is another foundational gynocritics text. Moers maps out a distinct history of women writers, tracing their networks of influence and establishing a tradition of female literary production separate from the male tradition.
[E] Kate Millett’s Sexual Politics (1970): This text is a classic of second-wave feminism that critiques patriarchal representations and power dynamics in works written by male authors (such as D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, and Norman Mailer). Thus, it falls under the category of feminist critique rather than gynocriticism, which specifically studies female writers.

Therefore, the texts that represent Gynocriticism are [A], [C], and [D].
