"Pride and Prejudice"

Paper Summary:

Jane Austen lived in a time when women were the objects of great prejudice. The paper shows that Austen was unusual among women of her class in achieving a career as a writer. Thus we might expect that Austen would counteract sexist stereotypes in her work. However, an examination of "Pride and Prejudice" shows that this is not the case. On the contrary, the paper argues that the the novel reinforces sexist stereotypes.
