Personality, Struggle and Destiny: Feminism in Lucia Lucia

Recently there are an increasing number of female writers who have achieved great appreciation all over the world, or at least in their mother land. Adriana Trigiani is one of those popular writers good at women’s fictions. As her magnum opus, Lucia Lucia is a miniature of the western society’s feminism in the era of 1950s. On Lucia we can find quite a few virtues and characteristics that were reflected during the fight with prejudice and injustice of traditional morels, and which also have determined her labyrinthine-like life and a happy ending. Having a good knowledge of Lucia’s temperament and thinking is helpful for readers to understand the story and the feminism theories better. With the guidance of an old-timed but advanced woman, we are much easier to see a woman’s firm personality to promote society’s development and progress.
