A Feminist Examination of Pride and Prejudice
11 pages (3226 words) , Download 3 , Research Paper

Initially, feminists argued that Victorian sexual mores oppressed women's sexuality more than any other preceding decade; however, as these critics started listening to the ‘silences' and the doublespeak of the women of that day, they started to reconceptualize the ideology of passionlessness as an opportunity for women to control their sexuality, in the bedroom and in family planning, which is why 18th century (middle-class) women rallied quickly behind the movement.... However, as feminists recognize that the personal is political, historians of women argue that making the ‘silences speak' requires an in depth analysis of the domestic realm because “women's distinctive experience as women occurs within that sphere that has been socially lived as the personal – private, emotional, interiorized, particular, individuated, intimate – so that what it is to know the politics of woman's situation is to know women's personal lives” (MacKinnon 535)....
