Description
Analysis of the characterization of young women in
Howells' eleven novels published in the 1880s reveals that
although his political, economic, and social views grew
more liberal during the decade, his attitude toward women
remained conventional and conservative, He portrayed the
young American girl in a variety of activities: courtship,
marriage, foreign travel, social events, and professional
employment; but he always assumed that her most suitable
and proper role was that of a submissive wife.
