Women and Alienaton in Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg Ohio; A Feminist Reading
Journal Title: International Journal of English and Literature (IJEL) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper aims at a feminist reading of Sherwood Anderson's novel Winesburg, Ohio, which addresses the themes of alienation and estrangement and pursues their profound effects on women. This study investigates the image of the woman in many short stories; such as, "Mother", "Death", "Tandy". In addition, it points out to the traditional portrayal of female characters, the role of patriarchy and the different forms of discrimination which social ety practices against women: a mother, a wife, and a girl; in these stories. The research; moreover, sheds light on alienation; a major concept in modernism; the era in which the setting of the stories takes place. Thus, estrangement deepens women’s and plights in a non- feminist world.
