-
Cassy Prskalo Lik fatalne žene pojavljuje se u razdoblju romantizma te se od tada može pratiti postupna evolucija ovoga lika koji svoj potpuni procvat doživljava u razdoblju hrvatskoga realizma. Šenoa u svome romanu Zlatarevo zlato predstavlja prototip fatalne žene u obliku lika udovice Klare. Iako se Klara smatra prototipom fatalne žene u hrvatskoj književnosti, u njezinoj osobnosti nisu u potpunosti utjelovljene sve značajke femme fatale. Josip Eugen Tomić nastavlja Šenoinu tradiciju...

-
Rebecca Danko Female and male conversational styles are influenced by a number of things such as their social roles, their ethnicity, patterns they acquired in the childhood and many more. Concerning their social roles and statuses, women are mainly connected to the domestic unit and are supposed to take care of it. Their status is typically more bound, and that is why some authors, like R. Lakoff, hypothesize that this is the reason for their being more careful when it comes to speech and behavior....

Feminism, Race, and Sexuality in the Twentieth Century Anglophone Literature

Feminist Thought in Literary Works of Mary Wollstonecraft and Jane Austen
-
Karolina Juretić Society’s treatment of men and of women was, and still is, vastly different. Feminism, as a social and political movement guided by the female experience, fights for women’s rights in order to make that difference non-existent. In the cornerstone of feminism titled A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), Mary Wollstonecraft describes women’s position in the society of her time by exposing an array of inaccurate beliefs regarding women’s nature and their capabilities,...
