This paper deals with the topic of women in British India, especially in the second half of the 19th century, and the change of their situation during the British rule. With the British taking over the rule of the country in the second half of the 19th century, Indian society was more and more being exposed to European customs and different takes on women's position in society.

Women characters in Willa Cather's fiction as a reflection of U.S. women's rights history
Heck, Lucie ; Procházka, Martin (advisor) ; Veselá, Pavla (referee)
Willa Cather (1873-1947) is nowadays regarded as one of the most important U.S. writers, and the volume of critical works, articles and dissertations devoted to her as a person and an artist is immense. One of the problematic relationship has always been, as can be seen from a number of critical essays and books, between Cather and U.S. feminists. The feminists would have liked to include Cather, as an feminist writer, into their group of the first-rate, woman-authored "female canon", however, such intent brought about an important question. Is it possible to regard Willa Cather as a feminist, considering her attacks on other women-writers, and her negative attitude towards the organized women's rights movement? This work's objective is to explore the background of Cather and organized women's rights movement's bizarre relationship, and answer the question above. To find out if Cather's work with its strong heroines empowered or weakened women in general, her novels and stories, rather then facts and assumption about her personal life, are used. The relevant parts of the plots from Cather's fiction are put into the historical perspective of the contemporary U.S. laws, showing that although Cather created exceptional woman characters, she let them deal with the same conditions and problems other...
