Paper Summary:

This paper contains a thesis stating that although male dominated society excludes and exploits women as portrayed in Ibsen's "A Doll House", the importance of friendship between women can overcome their marginality and restore women to the center of a husbanding society. This paper compares and contrasts the importance of female friendship described in Bauman's "Winter into Spring" and despaired of in "The Existential Paralysis of Women" by Simone de Beauvoir. The first point of contrast is that Beauvoir writes about the exploitation of women in Western bourgeois society, whereas Bauman recounts the trials of women in the void of that society smashed to pieces by the Nazis.
