INTRODUCTION

Throughout the history of humankind, women have been one of the most controversial themes. From the first’s orthopraxis such as Judaism, women could not have a leading role. In the old Greek civilization, where we can read about Pandora, who represented perdition of humanity because of her box. The same as Eve, who after eating the apple, became the symbol of human ruin on the Christian ideology.|

Nowadays we can find a similar discourse in the Muslim community: women being harassed due to a political and, therefore, interested lecture of the fountains of knowledge, that end up being unknown.|
But, can this behaviour find support in the scriptural sources? Islamic way of life granted women rights they could not have thought of before the revelation. It conceded her the right to vote, to have her own money, not depending only on her father, brother… to marry and stop “being married” to a man thanks to her own will, etc…|
In this paper I have undertaken to bring forth some feminist characteristics in the works of one of the foremost novelist of England Jane Austen with special emphasis on one of her most renowned works, The feminist movement with emphasis on the concept of gynocriticism (by the American feminist Elaine Showalter) is summarized to put Jane Austen as an important writer of feelings and conditions of women. |
