For the past ages, women were seen in the society as inferior to men and were greatly excluded from education and the right to property ownership. A British feminist named Mary Wollstonecraft argues, “educational restrictions keep women in a state of ignorance and slavish dependence” (Blake 117). The shattering of classifications and stereotypes, and the subversion of traditional gender roles, and the concept of sisterhood or unity among women are among the main tenets of feminist criticism.
Explore the ways that Tennessee Williams constructs the character of Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire and Willy Russell constructs the character of Rita in Educating Rita in light of the opinion that they have the desire to escape reality and fulfil their fantasies.

Rogers believed that people are inherently good but their personalities become distorted by interpersonal experiences in childhood. He believed that empathy was the key to studying and understanding a subject from a psychological perspective (Kowalski & Westen, 2011, p. 467). In looking at Maya Angelou’s life from childhood on to adulthood one certainly can see how she internalized her conditions of worth based on how her parents treated her. She loved language and literature but as she grew up her self-concept was divergent from her ideal self to the point that it took a few years of various jobs for her to develop into a writer. In 1959 she finally moved to New York to pursue her writing career, which according to Roger’s person centered approach is an actualizing tendency.
