瑪麗·沃斯通克拉夫特
《女人之罪》(1798)是沃斯通克拉夫特一部未完成的遺作,通常被認爲是她最激進的女權主義作品。小說採用了哥特式的荒誕手法,圍繞着一位被其丈夫關在精神病院的女性展開。出身良好的瑪利亞在體面光環背後那毫無體面可言的婚姻之外尋求滿足,一切分崩離析後與一位同院的病友展開了一段愛情,同時與一位照顧她的底層女性建立了友誼。作者認爲掩蓋理智的往往不是情感的幻象,而是激情,是激情將普通人引入危險錯誤的邊緣,從而導致最激烈的情感並留下難以磨滅的印記。
從沈奕斐【網絡熱門甜寵文鑑賞1.0】評論區推薦,去番茄搜大女主小說《大英雄時代》(星際文,格局很大,女主非典型性女主)沒搜到,結果看到了《她的國》,於是來微讀搜【她的國】, 搜到了三本:《她的國》(1915年創作)及續集《她在他的國》,和本書《女人之罪》(1798年創作),放一起讀吧,算是一類【她國系列】,都是老書。 2026年4月2日10:06
傑邁碼和瑪利亞就是同一個人,她們同樣具有學識,依附於一個男性並被拋棄(或自覺地拋棄他),受庇護於一個年長的無性的男人並在他死後遭受不幸、懷孕然後墮胎/嬰兒死亡。實際上,她們都是自覺拋棄了婚姻制度並被婚姻制度所拋棄的女人,作者是瑪利亞,當她作爲一個貴族小姐、貴族夫人;作者又必然是傑邁瑪,當她意識到自己在婚姻之外與之內無所求助,她是貧困的、低賤的、當過妓女的傑邁瑪。
對女人的壓迫不分國籍與古今!拳打起來!
確實,200多年前瑪麗·沃斯通克拉夫特“發明”了現代女性。
一本早期的女權小說,但很遺憾沒有寫完,但是值得一讀。 看完我真的爲當時的社會的女性遭遇的不公捏一把汗。 不管被性侵,丈夫出軌還是什麼,都要去忍受,甚至還要被丈夫當做娼妓去交易換取金錢,真是令人髮指,裏面幾個男性簡直噁心到我。 法官最後居然認爲瑪利亞是不理智的,還認爲她不道德,如果瑪利亞和丈夫轉換性別,究竟誰的行爲更不道德? 兩個女人的悲慘遭遇,皆在陳訴着當時男權社會下女性地位多麼可悲,反抗多麼無力,即使你擁有一定的學識,最多也只能做個家庭教師,而且還是寄人籬下那種。 不得不感嘆,還是現在的社會好,法律在保護我們,工作只要有一定能力都願意讓你去嘗試。
The rights of women The book 《The wrongs of women 》is a pioneer book of women’s right. It described the woman’s social and family situation before 300 hundred years ago. The story was about high-class Maria who was not only unjustly imprisoned in a mental hospital by her husband George Venables, but also took their children away. Maria became friend of a nursing staff Jamie a poor lower-class woman. After knowing that Maria without any mental problem, Jamima brought her a few books. Some of them with notes by Henry Darnford, who also lived in the same hospital, so Maria fall in love with him. They began to find every chance for meeting and communication. Darnford told about his degenerate life, that he woke up in a mental hospital after a night of alcoholism, but he couldn’t persuade the doctor to release him. Jamima told Maria and Darnford the story about herself. She was an illegitimate child. Jemima's mother died when she was a baby, which made Jemima's status was very worse in the family. Therefore, she was forced to become a servant of her father's family and later became an apprentice, but her teacher beat her, refused to give her food and raped her. When the man's wife found Jamiema pregnant with his child, she kicked her out of the house. Unable to support herself, she beat off her child and became a prostitute. Later, she was adopted by a rich man who seemed to be obsessed with all kinds of fun, such as food, love, etc. After the man died, she worked as a caregiver in this hospital. Later, Maria told her experience. She said that her parents loved their eldest son Robert more than other siblings, and how Robert treated his younger brothers and sisters "arbitrarily". In order to escape from this unfortunate home, Maria went to her neighbor's house and fell in love with their son George Venables who was a respectable young man in front of people; but in fact, he was a wandering person. After Maria's mother died, her father adopted the housekeeper as a mistress. One of Maria's rich uncles preferred her, but he didn't understand Venables true character, so he arranged a wedding for her and gave Maria 5,000 pounds. Maria soon learned about her husband's true character. She tried to ignore him and focused on cultivating her appreciation of literature and art, but Venables became more and more indulgent, after lots of gambling the family went to bankrupt. Maria became pregnant soon after her husband forced her to have sex. Since Maria's uncle was going to the Europe, he warned Maria what would happen if she left her husband. This is the first time that separation and divorce have been mentioned in the novel. Maria seems to regard her uncle's words as inspiration, not a warning. Venables tried to pay one of his friends to seduce Maria (a man named "Mr. S") so that he could identify Maria as an adulteress and then divorce her. After that, Maria tried to leave Venables. She began to escape and managed to live in several different places. She was lived with other women who were also betrayed by their husband, but Venables could find her anyway. When she tried to leave England with her newborn child and the property left to them by her late uncle, Vinebles found the child and imprisoned Maria in a mental hospital. This book was written by Mary Wollstonecraft in 18 century who was mother of Mary Shelley, the latter was the author of the the first Science fiction 《Frankenstein》, and her son in low was the famous poet Shelley. As the interpreter said this book isn’t easy to translate, for me it’s difficulty to read.
幾百年過去了,婚姻貌似還沒有變化 現在我不對不對會對愛情有什麼嚮往,我只是對於年少求學路上的楊柳的記憶日漸深刻,我懷念我初中高中時期,是我最快樂的時候。留守孩,無人關心也自然無人指指點點,我可以自由的在我的世界裏面遊淌,所以我很懷念她
感覺可以當作戲劇+小說+回憶錄來讀,戲劇張力特別強,雖然沒有寫完,但開放性結局可以說毫不拉垮。特別喜歡主人公瑪利亞寫給女兒的回憶錄部分,真的是一個女人的一生了,值得看看。
站在女性的立場上,爲女性說話
兩百年前的小說要說成是當下紀實文學也毫無違和感...這本書的譯者太棒了!
