Feminism is an anthology of movements and ideologies used to define, equal political, economic, and social rights for women. Feminists advocates the civil liberties and equalities of women and also promote corporal respectability and independent rights for women But I think feminism should be favoured only if it provides some sort of benefit. This so-called feminism is destroying many family lives. The family systems and relations are falling prey to feminism. Women are ruining their marital relations by wearing the chains of feminism, depriving their children of motherly love and by leaving their homes. This leads to increased divorce rates in Europe. Females are now becoming the torch bearers of Feminism at large. However, in the present reasearch, Hedda Gabler is deprived of the feminist traits that women commonly possess. Ibsen has failed to mould her into a true feminine character, and also Hedda is not capable of being called a woman, still we find her the victim of feminism.
The play is a feminist one but its leading character Hedda Gabler is in no respect feminine, rather she is a harsh, shrewd and masculine one. This play and topic that I have chosen has been selected in order to highlight the true meaning of a woman. In feminist perspective we find that neither Hedda is being beaten by her husband nor are her rights being snatched. She is living liberally rather. The so-called feminism and the boundless liberty is merely a source of destruction for many women
Through this character she is conveying how women characters struggle to find agency and authority in a society where the society cannot yet comprehend the changing in gender-related power. Therefore, Grafton’s works explore the dilemma

Imagine living in a world where the government tells everyone how to live their lives, even what pieces of literature the region can and cannot read. There are no such things as actual books anymore, only digital ones. The government has created a committee to pick which piece, out of three, should be deleted.

Because even her name conjures up many conflicting thoughts, the true nature of Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter is heavily debated among critics. Mark Van Doren and D.H. Lawrence both assert their conflicting perspectives with a multitude of convincing devices, but D.H. Lawrence more effectively portrays Hester Prynne as an enemy through the use of thought-provoking allusions, critical diction and repetition, and an unconventional syntax in his essay, On Hester Prynne. Hester Prynne’s iniquity is foremost illustrated by Lawrence’s use of several biblical allusions. Although Hester shows benevolence throughout the novel and came to be respected in society, Lawrence asserts that this whole persona is a lie.
The play, Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen, is about defying society 's limitations in order to achieve disclosure of one 's essential self. The protagonist, Hedda Gabler, is cunning, deceitful, and manipulative; her disposition is displayed most prominently within passage three, after she acquires Lovborg 's manuscript from George Tesman. In the passage, Hedda attempts to convince Lovborg to commit suicide, then she burns his manuscript after he leaves. In a grasping attempt to seize control over her life, Hedda conceals her true motives and beliefs from the public eye through her wariness of her words and actions.
Feminism: the advocacy of women 's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. “The 19th Amendment was passed in 1920, granting women the right to vote.

“A Doll House”: The Righteous Deception Henrik Ibsen, the writer of the play “A Doll House,” provides insight on self-righteousness when the character Nora is faced with assisting a loved one and the deception that arose from it. Nora has the most extenuating circumstances for her reasons of dishonesty within the play. Her deceitfulness is created through criminal applications, social expectations, and fear of her husband.

According to Eastern Kentucky University on women and gender studies, “feminism is the issue of equality based on gender, gender expression, gender identity, sex, and sexuality as understood through social theories and political activism”. Feminism
A Modern View of Feminist Criticism William Shakespeare 's "Othello” can be analyzed from a feminist perspective. This criticism focuses on relationships between genders, like the patterns of thoughts, behavior, values, enfranchisement, and power in relations between and within sexes. A feminist examination of the play enables us to judge the distinctive social esteems and status of women and proposes that the male-female power connections that become an integral factor in scenes of Othello impact its comprehension. I believe that the critical lens that provides modern society with the most compelling view of literature is Feminist Criticism because it analyzes distrust and disloyalty among relationships, women being treated as possessions
• Feminism is about contesting systemic inequalities, and seeking equal treatment and opportunity for both genders. • Feminism is not against marriage but respect individual informed choice and does not believe in double standard in judging a person’s conduct. • Feminists acknowledge that equal rights translate into equal accountability. Although feminism continues to be non-monolithic and contentious, it has made several progress and created new worlds of possibility for working women, education, empowerment and even arts.
Feminism includes to look for equal opportunities for women in education and employment. - Feminism movements fights for the rights of women for example the right to vote, to be able to do the work that men do, to earn equal pay as men, to receive the same education, to have equal rights in a marriage, etc. Feminists are also seen as a “right” that women have that will help them to stay safe from rape, sexual harassment, and domestic violence, etc. - In other words Feminism is seen as a group of women who have the same goals.

From the outset, literature and all forms of art have been used to express their author’s feelings, opinions, ideas, and believes. Accordingly, many authors have resorted to their writing to express their feminist ideas, but first we must define what feminism is. According to the Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, feminism is “the belief that women should be allowed the same rights, power, and opportunities as men and be treated in the same way, or the set of activities intended to achieve this state”. As early as the fifteenth century is possible to find feminist writings. Centuries later, and although she never referred to herself as one, the famous English writer Virginia Woolf became one of the greatest feminist writers of the twentieth
The gender roles of Jane Austen’s time, and the mirroring of them in Persuasion, are good examples of how hard it can be to resist inequality amongst sexes. Gender inequality is a social issue that recurs throughout the novel. Most of the characters that face gender inequality comply with their oppression. Moreover, the characters that are oppressed by gender inequality have come to expect such injustice. Jane Austen’s Persuasion demonstrates true-to-life examples of how both women and men accept their “role” in society, accept and expect it.
First, we should define feminism. Basically, feminism is a philosophy that advocates equal rights for women and men. The more feminists seek to overthrow any sign of male dominance in our society, to the point where they disapprove the biblical roles of husbands and wives, defending abortion, and so on. Modern feminism is a forged solution to the real issue of the inequality of women. Feminism assumes to itself the right to demand respect and equality in every aspect of life.
