6.Mrs Bennet,Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen described Mrs Bennet as"a woman of mean understanding,little information,and uncertain temper(脾氣)":she topped your list of the least favorite female family heads.With her single-minded devotion to marrying off her daughters,she is one of literature's parents involving themselves in their sons'or daughters'private lives.And at least she pays attention to her daughters.Whatever one might lay at her daughters'door,she defends them.
Helen Graham,The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
The second and final novel by Anne Bront was so shocking that after Anne's death,her sister Charlotte prevented its re-publication.Published for the first time in 1848,it told the story of a woman who escapes her alcoholic husband to protect her young son.In fleeing her husband,Helen was not just challenging social structures,she was breaking the law:at the time,a married woman had no independent legal existence,and by taking her child with her she was likely to be punished for kidnapping(誘拐).Helen's actions didn't just establish her as a good mother; they helped to cause a movement.
Marilla Cuthbert,Anne of Green Gables
The adoptive mother of orphan Anne makes herself known as a softy through the course of the 1908novel:so much so that Margaret Attwood has claimed that Marilla is the true central character:"Her growing love for Anne,and her growing ability to express that love-not Anne's duckling-to-swan act-is the real magic transformation.Anne is the catalyst(催化劑) who allows the strict Marilla to finally express her long-buried softer human emotions."
Mrs Waterbury,The Railway Children
The Railway Children's female family head is"a very real mother,strong but also easily hurt."Presenting an idealized(理想化) vision of childhood,yet the novel contains a tension between appearance and reality-which some have said reflects its author E Nesbit's personal life.Her husband had an ongoing affair with her best friend,who bore him two children that Nesbit raised as her own.Jenny Agutter has said:"Nesbit's life was always unstable.What saved her was her belief that things would work out in the end …Against the background of her own tense and complex family life,she wrote stories about families that were joined perfectly together."
