The story shows various incidents where women marginalization in practices. The practice was common during the seventieth and eighteenth century. During this time females were not allowed to acquire higher education, they experienced domestic feminism. Women were also not allowed to own property as the traditions only allowed for men to own property. Females were not subjected to formal employment as they were just required to do domestic chores. In the education sector, there were no higher learning institutions for females. They also had no right to control their incomes since all the salaries they earned was forwarded to their husbands. Women between the age of twenty and forty who were unmarried were seen as social problems in the entire Victorian England.
This is formal of women marginalization as the society required that all the women between the ages of twenty to forty were needed to get married. It reached to the extent that the unmarried women were shipped to the British colonies where a majority of the men were single. Women always had an oppressed position in both their marriages and societies. Women being dependent on their male partners had become a taboo. Women were considered as tools which were to be used by men for their benefits.However, we see things change as in the 1880s, and 1890s emerged a new woman. Women from different backgrounds came out to defend the rights of women. The modern woman is legible to own property, get formal employment, is independent regardless of whether he is married or not. We see different women coming out to defend the rights of other women like Millicent and Josephine.
These two women showed the acts of courage and their willingness to protect the rights of their fellow females. Their efforts bare fruits because in 1882 British passed a rule which permitted women to pursue a bachelors’ degree in Arts. Also, female schools start opening up during that time an indication that things had started changing. The gospel about freeing up females was being spread out by militant women, writers, and educators. We see the rate of unmarried women increase during the second part of the nineteenth century which is due to women becoming independent and were able to support themselves. There are changes also on gender roles and consolidation of women rights. Redefining of gender roles led to the end of male supremacy.In the fiction, we see that women are now allowed to be single mothers, access to education and many other privileges.The actions which are taken by the Victorian authorities to end women marginalization bore a lot of fruits in the long run. Through it, women become compelling people in the society who could influence other people and who could make decisions which could help the community.
Women start becoming novelists to spread the gospel about the rights of women although some men also participate in the move. The women novelists oppose the social norms which were imposed on women. They also complained about the representation of women in the nineteenth century. They fought the ideas that women were only meant for marriage and motherhood. The new women tried to change the perception which had been developed over a long time about the relationship between sexes. They also encouraged honesty in sexual matters. The new women are also in support of women taking their time to pursue a profession.In conclusion, the fight against women marginalization has led to better lives for women in the present day. Also, enactment of new laws and regulations have guarded them against oppressions which they used to receive from their male counterparts. We see in the present world women can hold or contest for an elective post. Some women have gone to the extent of becoming presidents of prominent countries in the world.
Women are also environment conservatives who are leading the campaign about the importance of conserving our environment. Though the marginalization of females made them lag behind than men, the steps which are being taken are trying to reduce the gap as many laws are being passed which are helping women to grow both economically, politically and socially.Surname 1 Student’s name Professor’s name Course Date Women marginalization in the New Woman fiction During the Victorian era, there was witnessed a shift in social attitudes towards gender relations.
