Abstract

The eighteenth and the nineteenth century witnessed serious gender inequalities in British society. Patriarchy gained dominance of everything in the fields of economy, politics and literature. At the end of the eighteenth century, female writers such as Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë bravely broke the discourse confinement and revealed feminist consciousness through their works. This thesis is going to analyze the development of female rebelliousness regarding economic and gender relations in novels by Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë.
