摘要

这篇论文的目的，旨在阐述作者的婚姻失败引发作者笔下主人公的坚强性格，及对女性独立的联系。

以下分为三部分：

第一部分写的是女权主义的内容。

第二部分写的是《乱世佳人》中所体现出的女权主义。

第三部分写的是作者的经历对于塑造女主人公的影响。

最后将提及一句经典名言：

“明天又是新的一天了。

”女主人公对人生积极的态度让我敬佩有加。

女主人公三次婚姻失败，但她依然追梦，坚定不移地贯彻她的女权主义思想，坚决要活出理想中自己的样子，永远相信明天会更好。

最后一段旨在总结论文，说明《乱世佳人》推动了全世界的女权主义思潮，以及对美国后期女性的影响。

乱世之“乱”和佳人之“佳”，值得我们后人称道。
