This period is considered to be a moment of testing boundaries hence why the role of women in literature changed drastically. During this period of time women started to be portrayed as main characters instead of romantic counterparts/secondary characters. Instead of being the emblem of fragility they suddenly became icons of independence and emotional intelligence (hence why they were usually described as able to reveal their feelings and express their thoughts and opinions)

For example both stories portray the stereotypes that all girls want to be popoular, worshipped and the focus of attention and how society tends to discriminate people based on their looks they counter attack those beliefs and instead make the statement that although physical beauty has a great value in society it is not what determines a person's value.

yarga [219]
Ray Bradbury was disturbed by the future of America. He was afraid for the fate of the whole earth, he acutely felt the threat of fascism. His political views are reflected in his works. That's why he received a special distinction: his name was included in fascists' list of those who was sentenced to death. On a day when they will come to power... But that day will never come because Ray Bradbury is not alone in America.
