Invisible Man Theme of Women and Femininity

In Invisible Man, the situation of white women is drawn parallel to that of black men—both are oppressed by white male society. None of the women we encounter in the book understand their situation in this way, but the narrator repeatedly shows them as suffering from the same problems with invisibility.

1. Is there anything problematic in the novel's treatment of women?
2. There is a significant absence of any real commentary on black womanhood. Is this a weakness in the book? Why or why not?
3. How is the Brotherhood's philosophy on the Woman Question different from how the brothers actually treat the women in their lives? Is this a weakness in the Brotherhood?
4. We know there's a Woman Question. Is there a Woman Answer?

The magnificent naked blonde in the first chapter is just as invisible as the narrator.
