Abstract :
The study titled "A Study on Victorian Women: Ecriture Feminine in Selected Poems of Emily Brontë" analyzed the patriarchal rules of Victorian women, particularly Emily Brontë, through the theoretical approach of Helene Cixous's Ecriture Feminine (1979). The research used a qualitative method, collecting data from library research and selected poems of Emily Brontë. The study found that Emily Brontë's poems offer an individual portrayal of female subjectivity and freedom, challenging typical Victorian social norms. The research also suggested that Brontë's poetic interpretations significantly contributed to the conversation about women's literary voices during the Victorian era. The study concluded that Victorian women faced repression from societal norms, such as patriarchy and the lack of women freedom to gain voices. This posed a challenge for Emily Brontë, as a woman writer, to represent women's feelings and experiences in her poems.
