Paper Summary:

This paper explores the description of women given in the literary works of Samuel Johnson and Frances Burney. First, the writer shows how unlike other writers of his time, Johnson was very appreciative of intelligent females and firmly believed that women need to be treated equally. The paper follows with a comparison of Burney's work, offering a comprehensive commentary on the life, thoughts, behavior and passion of women in Eighteenth century society.

From the Paper:

"Johnson gave the most compassionate treatment to women and considered them equal to men. Many critics have supported this view and it is widely believed that Samuel Johnson's writings served an important purpose i.e. enlightenment of society regarding role of women. In his book, History of Rasellas and Rambler, we come across many interesting characters that help us understand Johnson's views on women and their role in the society. The most prominent is series of letter from Misella (a prostitute) to Mr. Rambler whereby she explain what it feels like to be a prostitute and how society treats such women."
