Yes. Postmodernism rejects the rigid genre distinctions of previous art-forms, and 'Rebecca' does that.
As the book progresses we see the initially strong and invincible Maxim de Winter gradually beaten down by his apparently ineffectual new wife until, finally, he has lost everything.
In defining the plot, Daphne Du Maurier took a literary tradition of Gothic masochism between strong male and weak female and turned it upside-down - hence the postmodernism.
