Conceptualization of Feminism in Rebecca Donovan’s Trilogy The Breathing Series

Abstract

What is to be reached beforehand deals with the elicitation of major feminist concepts in the contemporaneous trilogy The Breathing Series. The suggested points to be dealt with are those which help to educe the suffering of women from servitude, subordination and sidelining. It endeavors to display the handling of inequality women in the contemporary society are facing, unfold the mental health and abuse menacing them within the very society, as it tends to crystallize their enslavement and their lust for freedom. These women are elucidated as individuals with little, if any right to act for themselves with restricted rules to follow and abide with. They are visualized as subjects with abilities and endowments not at exposal, nor use, with strife to gain their own liberty after long, being ensnared within an unjust sphere. There are few symbols used by Rebecca Donovan like the countdown of time by the protagonist to denote women’s strength and their eagerness to be freed. Other themes will be discussed as those of equality, for the protagonists are both a male and a female.
