Feminist Theorys of Harper Lee.

Harper Lee shares a lot of characteristics with the main character in to kill a Mockingbird Scout. Scout is contently told by her aunt who live with the family that the way she dresses and acts is inappropriate and she is forced to get involved in her Aunts social events (when scout would much rather go and play with Jem and Dill), in which the women are all fit with society supposed norms of how women should behave. Scout appears like a stereotypical male child , she goes on adventures, played with her brother and Dill, goes outside and plays in the mud for example.

Also in the trial of Tom Robinson the Judge asked the women at one point to leave the court room as there where seen as two fragile for the intensity of the case. This was an example of Harper Lee's view on how society viewed women, Weak, Fragile, less opinionated , should behave with elegance and politeness.  I love the character of scout because she is a prime example of showing how you should just act as yourself regardless of gender and how you are per sieved based on that.   

Feminism is still a huge topic today and i think that this speech by Emma Watson is inspiring and the campaine she represents, highlight very important issues that need to change. I think it also realates to a lot of what Harper Lee is saying through the character of Scout.
