Abstract
The feminism approach to literature is considered to be an important way of interpreting literary works. Showalter points out the “female” identity to interpret the progress of female writers in self-awareness and writing experience. In this thesis, the differences and seminaries between Emma in Emma and Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice will be discussed. The heroines are different in characters and growth, but they share the virtues and happy marriages in common. The purpose is to analyze the changes of Jane Austen’s feminism. Simultaneously, Jane Austen, the perfect female writer in Virginia Woolf’s eyes, made her own progress in self-awareness and writing experience.
