摘 要
《简?
爱》是一部出色的自传小说。
女主人公简没有娇好的面容,婀娜的身姿,却和其它著作中的美人一样,深深地吸引着我们;简出生贫寒,是一个可怜的孤儿,随后又被送进寄宿学校,过者艰苦的生活,但最终她成为了一位多才多艺的女子,拥有非凡的气质,并得到罗切斯特先生的深爱。
平凡的简是怎样变成一个不平凡的女性的?
原因之一是:
简爱读书和学习,她渴望从中得到知识,并从中汲取到生存,成长和争取幸福、自由的力量。
今天的女人走出了家门,和男人们比拼着生命的精彩,向世界展示着完整真实的自我,今天的她们需要更多的知识来提升和充实自己。
本文将由知识对简一生的影响谈起,说明知识对女性,尤其对当今女性的重要性,并进一步分析知识给当今女性带来的益处。
