【正文】 erhood were regarded as women39。s most momentous business. Although the term “feminism” was not invented until the 1880s, reform movements intending to recover women39。s lives emerged early in the nation39。s history. At the end of the Revolutionary War, 黑龍江大學(xué)劍橋?qū)W院畢業(yè)論文 10 women lived under far more constraints than men. In a continuation farming economy, women39。s subordination was less perceptible and more tolerable than it would bee in the developing middleclass and urbanizing culture of the postRevolutionary years. By 1848, when the first women39。s rights convention took place at Seneca Falls, New York, the idea of “women39。s rights” had bee familiar across the culture. In the nieenth century, in America, it started to change for the role women would play in society. Women’s Selfconsciousness With the development of society and the progress of The Times, people39。s awareness will also modify. With the industrialization of America society, American people figure a material based value system. Men play a main role in life. However, women could also play an important role. This is the beginning of a whole new for women in the nieenth century. Women starts to realize that there are prospects for them outside of their home, and that they could have a status in the world as well as men. It is an occasion when the feministic vision is being born and traditional visions of women are varying. Middle class women would start to realize that they are just the same as men, and would like to participate in the same activities and be regarded that way. This includes gaining a work and an education, and ability to make a living without the help of men. Women not only change the conventional roles in society, but also the roles in their family. With these thought, it must be varied sooner or later. Women would no more do housework and take care of children at home. They would like to get into the world. In my point, this is only the initiation。 it still is not a short process to acplish until women are pletely to be accepted in society. That is the beginning of Women’s selfconsciousness. In the late nieenth century, “New women” have emerged in large numbers in society. It generally refers to two kinds of women, one is young workers and the other is 黑龍江大學(xué)劍橋?qū)W院畢業(yè)論文 11 women who want to change their fate. New women generally have a strong awareness of self and a good education. They usually are brave and open. They firmly believe in fighting for their rights. Women had been influenced on the thought of “New women” in the United State, when Sister Carrie was published. They have begun to challenge the ethics of tradition, women not only were mothers at home, but they were also able to work and contribute to society. Carrie is depicted by Dreiser。 she is clever, shy and full of passion and dream. She finds her stage and supports herself. I believe this is the starting of Carrie’s awakening selfconsciousness. Carrie’s Character Influenced by Feminist The Initiative in Carrie’s Own Hand In a society in which substance was life’s center, money was the standard for all success and failure, the traditional morality was challenged and suspected. Carrie was not the person who protected the ethical purity in the Victorian Times. Her behavior’s model was selfinterest. For example, when Drouet persuaded her to leave her sister’s house, Carrie hesitated. In reality, Carrie believed the incorrectness of the decision of leaving her sister. But she was dominated by her needs. She decided to live with Drouet. In this novel, Carrie had a character of distinct subjective. She not only pursued their selfrealization, but also controlled her own destiny and had a better life on her own. As a beautiful and innocent girl away from her home, she wanted to cherish her dreams in Chicago. In the entire novel, she made three choices。 all of these choices were reflected that she had the initiative and a personality of the “New women”. Because of her rough life with her sister and brotherinlaw was not her imagination. She made first choice of living with Drouet. It improved her life and enjoyed herself, however, when she found Drouet could not marry her and support her enough. Therefore, after the appearance of the manager of hotel, Carrie made the second choice. She chosen to live with Hurstwood 黑龍江大學(xué)劍橋?qū)W院畢業(yè)論文 12 and left Drouet. Carrie’s relationship with others was the demand of survival. Everyone has rights to pursuit their happiness. In that society, women almost were conventional women. They could only marry once in all their life. A couple was not acceptable to live together without marriage. (Jiang Daochao, 2020:33) However, Carrie upset this traditional rule, she had the untraditional love. She tried her best to adapt the responsibility of a housewife. Finally, along with Hurstwood’s bankruptcy, they had to be living on credit. This was not the life what she dreamed. She did not depend upon men any longer. She left Hurstwood as the third choice. She believed that she could have a better life rely on her own efforts. At the end, she succeeded in her stage. She always insisted her choice was right. Carrie’s Independence Female selecting and female starting to work are both chief divisions of the fight for parity for women in America. As far as I am concerned, this is the symbol of women’s independence. Female rights and the origin of feminism change the way of looking at female in the Middle Class in society and change the Middle Class values. Female are setting about to have a more individualist vision on life, they are recognizing that they do not have to count on a man to survive. Carrie is from an innocent girl to be a successful actress by her own. She shapes the new ima
