Margaret Eleanor Atwood, ( born November 18, 1939 ) is a Canadian poet, novelist, literary critic, essayist, and environmental activist.

Born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Atwood is the second of three children of Margaret Dorothy ( née Killam ), a former dietitian and nutritionist, and Carl Edmund Atwood, an entomologist.

Atwood claims that this concept is ingrained in the human psyche, that it is apparent in early historical peoples, who associated their understanding of debt with that of justice, ideas that are typically exemplified by a female deity.

Margaret Atwood is part of a long line of women with feminist involvement: she is related to Mary Webster, who survived being hanged for witchcraft in Connecticut in the seventeenth century.

Still, Atwood denies that The Edible Woman, for example, published in 1969 and coinciding with the early second wave of the feminist movement, is feminist and claims that she wrote it four years before the movement.

In Survival, Atwood postulates that Canadian literature, and by extension Canadian identity, is characterized by the symbol of survival.
