Abstract	Fifty Shades of Grey (2011) is an erotic romance novel written by E.L. James. The story is based on the relationship between Christian Grey, a wealthy businessman, and Anastasia Steele, a humble college-graduate. Their relationship is filled with many ups and downs but it survives because Anastasia decides to break her boundaries for her partner. The decadence of her character has been viewed as either something that characterizes her as a strong person or as a woman who decides to subject herself to the insatiable sexual nature of her partner. Many feminist critics have dealt with the plethora of issues portrayed in this novel but it all breaks down to two dominant stances that originate from The Sex Wars of the 1980s-feminist movement. Feminists have alerted women to the fact that themes exploited in popular culture have become engraved into women’s very subjectivities and encouraged them to fight against trends that teach them about submissiveness and obedience. The aim of this paper is to analyze the deepening relationship between Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey through a feminist lens while emphasizing the politics of The Sex Wars.
