dc.description.abstractThroughout history even the supposed egalitarian societies have failed when it comes to women’s rights. And while utopian writers attempt to create perfect societies, the conditions women face often have a dystopian bent. Do utopian societies, like their real world counterparts, cause undue stress on women, driving them to rebel against their societies? In order to answer this question, we will look at two utopian novels, and a short story about hysteria, as case studies: Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy, News from Nowhere by William Morris, and "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
