Abstract

The Pooh stories in Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner by A. A. Milne try to create a “friendly-for-all” climate in the paradise-like forest. While the male residents enjoy the adventures, explorations and games, Kanga, the only female character in the forest, is excluded and marginalized. This paper examines how Kanga, struggling against the pervasive patriarchal power, survives and eventually wins a place in the male dominated community.
