The relationship between women and houses has always been complex.
Many influential writers have used the space of the house to
portray women's conflicts with the society of their time. On the
one hand, houses can represent a place of physical, psychological
and moral restrictions, and on the other, they often serve as a
metaphor for economic freedom and social acceptance. This usage is
particularly pronounced in works written in the nineteenth and
twentieth century, when restrictions on women's roles were
changing: "anxieties about space sometimes seem to dominate the
literature of both nineteenth-century women and their
twentieth-century descendants." The Metaphor of the House in
Feminist Literature uses a feminist literary criticism approach in
order to examine the use of the house as metaphor in nineteenth and
twentieth century literature.
