During the Victorian Era, women were valued for their lack of passion. The submissive woman was viewed as “good” by men because she did not have the desires and ambitions that men had. This view of women contrasts drastically from our view of women now. Today, we value women who are strong and ambitious, who have goals for the future and a desire to succeed. This displays the transformation feminism has made between the Victorian Era and now.
Back then, feminists were attempting to have their voices heard and for their opinions to be taken seriously. For example the woman’s suffrage movement, which gave women the right to vote allowed women’s voices to be considered just as important as men’s voices. In today’s society, women’s voices are valued equally as men. Modern feminists want women to be as successful as men are. Our society looks up to women who work hard and compete with men to be successful. These women are ambitious and passionate-a contrast from the submissive and fragile women of the Victorian Era. This shows how feminism is progressing and women are becoming more successful and valuable in our society.
