The Role of Women

Více o knize

Exploring the evolution of the accomplished woman, the paper compares Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" with Helen Fielding's "Bridget Jones's Diary." It highlights how both works reflect the societal expectations of women in their respective eras. While significant progress has been made since the 19th century, including women's rights and independence, the concept of the accomplished woman remains relevant. Fielding's modern portrayal of Bridget Jones mirrors Elizabeth Bennet's struggles, illustrating that the quest for self-identity and societal acceptance continues across generations.
