Semiotics studies any text social or literary human or non-human as systems of signs, controlled by the hidden forces operating within these systems. By revealing the working of the signs to generate meanings, semiotics makes transparent the various factors that influence the construction of signs and their meanings. Male cultural institutions have encoded women as signs of certain negative attributes and these images of women have trapped them in textual representations through language. Semiotic competence can help women readers to extricate themselves from the codes that have trapped them as objects and can also help women authors to encode new signs of women in order to liberate women from misogynistic representations.
