This work is the result of an analysis based on the historical context and gender roles in
XIX century England using Jane Austen life and the characters of the novel Emma as a
reference. The author life serves as an example of how hard it was for women to seek
some independence and freedom.
Firstly, there is presented some context about feminism and the first writings about it.
Beginning with Poullain de la Barre and ending when women get to vote in the United
Kingdom on XX century.
In the second part, an extensive study of Austen's biography is presented, where it’s
observed that even belonging to a high social class, the role of women was the same:
daughter, wife and mother. Investigating through the letters and youth writings that are
preserved today, where Jane talks all kinds of gossip and opinions about what was
happening in the world to her siblings, in which she narrates her daily life, describes in
detail the meetings and parties she’s assisting and that’ll be recreated in her novels and
lastly informing about the last news in the village. Some of those documents are
attached at the end of this work.
Then, there is an assessment of the female characters in the novel Emma, a brief
presentation of feminist criticism about it and the roles each character plays in society.
Finally, in the conclusion is exposed the parallelism between Jane Austen and Emma
Woodhouse, emphasizing the social and historical situation they lived through. Also,
it’s explained that the basis of gender equality will come with an inclusive education, as
already seen in the writings of Wollstonecraft or Mary Astell. The work concludes with
a quote from Charlotte Brontë about the issue.
