  7. 5. “I’ve a right to think” : A Reading of Alice in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland as a Reflection of Early Feminism in the Victorian Era

    Kandidat-uppsats,

    Författare :Josephine Flottrong; [2019]
    Nyckelord :Alice’s adventures in Wonderland; Lewis Carroll; the Victorian era; early feminism; education; equality; emancipation;

    Sammanfattning : In this essay I claim that Alice in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a character who reflects the early feminist movement in the 19th century.
