Serving Class Of The Nineteenth Century England: Treatment Of Women
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. Chosen as the inferior gender by some unwritten code centuries ago to which society has adhered unchallenged, nineteenth century British serving class women found themselves under the control of societal dictates and prejudicial pecking order established solely by a patriarchal society. The psychoanalytic perspective of teaching women to depend upon everyone else but themselves speaks to the fact that they did not possess the necessary and intrinsic qualities to maintain their own singular existence. History has demonstrated that if it were not for the presence of the British man, the woman would hold no individual value; instead, she was to remain in association with male control in order to have any semblance of significance. Messages like these that permeated throughout the minds of young and impressionable British girls served to form their thoughts and perceptions for the future; with such lessons demonstrating how difficult life can be without appropriate patriarchal influence, young girls were spoon fed inaccurate and highly damaging information with regard to their own self worth and capabilities that remained in the forefront of their adult lives. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
