Abstract
In my paper I want to explore these opposing models of femininity as indicators of a shift in society’s perceptions of female gender roles. The natural woman, far from the passive muse that the Romantics had conceived of, is given a more practical role in these novels as a trailblazer for the goals of the women’s movement.
