Female Stereotypes in Literature
• “Women internalize the male idea of the feminine and
create themselves in the shape of that idea.”
• Women characters have been written to play and re-
play the same themes.
• Ingenuity, creativity, bravery, elevates the men who
love her.
• Women to “thrive” in innocence, purity and seclusion,
constantly dependent, a victim, usually in the name of
love.
