Abstract
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, simultaneously resulting in a poor treatment of women, cementing their subordinate position. Throughout this book, Wollstonecraft urges for an education reform as that would bring a necessary change in understanding women (and in women’s understanding), and it would help girls recognize what they are capable of from an early age. A couple of decades later, Jane Austen became a published novelist, writing about the female experience in a society which puts men on the pedestal. That experience is tackled with a multitude of factors in mind, from the notions of beauty which flooded the public to the idea of what an accomplished woman must achieve in order to deserve such a title. The aim of this paper is to analyse Austen’s novels Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice with regard to the ideas expressed in Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Although never confirmed, it is believed that Austen was familiar with Wollstonecraft’s work.
