The novel itself is a very complex tangling of stories and subplots. Sedgwick is also standing up against the gender norms face d in her own era with such a strong female lead. This represents a connection between the American idea of independence and individualism and women's role in American history. Catharine Maria Sedgwick's Hope Leslie presents a surprisingly strong and independent female protagonist who fights for what she believes in and against the constraining gender norms of the very conservative Puritan culture in the early days of the Massachusetts colony. That is definitely true in the case of the Puritan culture that settled in the North East in the 17th century. In fact, in its earliest stages, most women were confined to very strict gender rules and restrictions. The United States has not always been a free space for strong female characters. ![]() Strong Female Characters in Sedgwick's Hope Leslie Hope Leslie Strong Female Characters of the 17th Century ![]()
