The young Cathy Linton has just visited Wuthering Heights.

Feminist attributes in the book:

– Catherine Linton’s (formerly Earnshaw) fierce and unrelenting nature.

– Cathy Heathcliff’s (formerly Linton) independence and strength to stand up to Heathcliff. – “I’ll put my trash away, because you can make me if I refuse.” Answered the young lady, closing her book, and trowing it on a chair. “But I’ll not do anything, though you should swear your tongue out, except what I please.”

– the  pressure put on woman by society meant that Catherine could never marry Hearhcliff because it would  “degrade” her to marry him.

– Mrs dean is assumed to be a gossip (gender stereotyping) – and is then proved to indeed be a gossip. – stereotyping from both Lockwood and the author.

– Mrs dean is called a “worthy woman” only after she goes to get food for Mr. Lockwood.

– Mrs Earnshaw is referred to as nothing more than “Mrs Earnshaw” and “wife”. – shown as judgemental.

– Mrs Dean cared for the Earnshaw children and described doing so as taking on the “cares of a woman”.

– “she did not yell out” – Catherine’s strength of character when being bitten by a dog is evidenced.
