The Utopian Concept of the Female in East and West. A Critical Comparison of Sultana's Dream (1905) and Herland (1909)

Exploring the roots of female writing in the early 20th century, this essay examines how female characters in English novels often reflected the traditional roles assigned to women in a class-driven British society. Despite their established presence, these characters typically embodied an inferior status compared to men, highlighting the cultural, social, and academic limitations imposed on women of that era. The work delves into the implications of these portrayals on literature and society.
