My research topic is Female Roles in literature. My family is Dominican, and it wasn't until long ago that Dominican Republic had a democracy. When the country was facing a dictatorship, women were limited to their rights. Women were taken advantage of a lot and society was very traditional. What i find interesting is how the country has developed after democracy was allowed, and how many people are still stuck in those traditional ideas. Some women still feel that they have no say and are limited to rights and this can easily be related to female roles in literature. I want to take a look at strong female leads or characters in stories and how they have changed throughout literature. One challenge i am facing is that the topic i broad. I need to figure out a way to narrow it down to a more in depth topic to research.
