Both works are analyzed and discussed from a feminist point of view considering the respective historical contexts in which they were written.<br />The first part of the dissertation, offers an overview of the personal situation and experiences of each author. As my dissertation shows, the socio-historical context in which they lived played a relevant role in the issues they discussed and denounced in their works. Then, the second section provides an analysis and discussion of the main feminist themes discussed in each work: namely, Wollstonecraft and Austen’s critique of women’s education, gender stereotypes and the view of marriage as a social imposition. Finally, the dissertation includes an in-depth comparative analysis of the strategies each author used to raise awareness of women’s precarious situation to criticize the social norms that govern their society, being irony one of the Jane Austen’s most efficient strategy.<br />By dint of conclusion, it may be argued that Mary Wollstonecraft and Jane Austen were both pioneers in the feminist movement. They were two brave women who, despite the social restrictions, managed to successfully convey the message of freedom and gender esqulity supported by feminism in their literary prodution.<br /><br /> 000147556 521__ $$aGraduado en Estudios Ingleses 000147556 540__ $$aDerechos regulados por licencia Creative Commons 000147556 700__ $$aRoyo Grasa, Mª Pilar$$edir. 000147556 7102_ $$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$b $$c 000147556 8560_ $$f796402@unizar.es 000147556 8564_ $$s462354$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/147556/files/TAZ-TFG-2023-1544.pdf$$yMemoria (eng) 000147556 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:147556$$pdriver$$ptrabajos-fin-grado 000147556 950__ $$a 000147556 951__ $$adeposita:2024-12-17 000147556 980__ $$aTAZ$$bTFG$$cFFYL 000147556 999__ $$a20230604191321.CREATION_DATE
