Question

How was feminism shown in the poem the man from snowy river

Answer 1

Answer:

Feminism is shown in the poem "The man from snowy river" when Jessica was unable to constantly stay in the house and learn to serve as a lady, She wants more than just tea parties or shoe shining like the typical women in the poem but she wants to work with the men.

Explanation:

Jessica believes she has the ability to work like a man can and that she is equal to them, for instance she wanted to work in the barn like the men, but her father disapproves of that and instead drags her out of the barn and told her to follow the conventional path like the women there.

Her father Harrison tells her that working in the barn is not an occupation for a lady and that she should think of marriage, but Jessica did not bow down to her father's will but instead argues with him on the ground of equality depicting feminism in the poem.
