Abstract

Women’s Rights has been a very debatable subject in our world and sometimes writers may be subjective upon the subject and defend or be against it. In this essay, my aim is to discuss to what extent that was a feminist testament for Anne Bronte to have published her novel “The Tenant of theWildfell Hall” in 1848. The novel took a lot of reaction when it was published because of its content. In order to point out if it was a feminist testament for Bronte to have written the book, I first analyzed her way of stating that the novel is a critic of the women’s rights in those times. Then I analyzed the most commonly handled notions in the novel and I studied on in which ways the notions revealed Bronte's perspective. I also made use of sources about the Victorian Era in order to have a better understanding of the circumstances in the novel. As a result, I found out that, considering the times' legal structure and accepted moral values, it was absoulately a feminist testiment for Bronte to reveal the inequality of the social structure in a such critical way.
