| dc.description.abstract | The present dissertation undertakes a study of patriarchal hegemony in the novel The Good Earth The study tries to examine how women were depicted in pre revolutionary Chinese society. Chinese village society seemed patriarchal, oppressive and stultifying to women. Although women’s role varied, all were subservient. The importance of all female characters is based upon their contribution to the egos of the male protagonists and as being providers of support to both family and order in society. Pearl S. Buck, a proponent of civil rights for women as well as a humanitarian writer, concerns the society where females are considered the weaker sex and especially the neglected part of the society. The issues, problems, and status of Chinese women have successfully presented in The Good Earth. | en_US |
