Soria Galán, Nair2024-05-202024-05-202021-06-01https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14468/13204This paper deals with the study of the novel Fall on Your Knees, by Ann-Marie MacDonald. My aim is to analyse MacDonald’s portrayal of female transgression of boundaries regarding gender, race and sexuality at the end of the 20th century. As I go forward, I will provide a better understanding of its relevance concerning the portrayal of subversive female characters in counter position to a traditional and oppressive patriarchal society. By defying the hegemonic masculinity, these brave women become empowered creating their true identities and influencing new generations. Through examination and recognition of new ways of being a woman portrayed in literary manifestations such as Fall on Your Knees, I want to suggest, we can open up debate and promote social change.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessproyecto fin de carreraFall on Your KneesAnn-Marie MacDonaldwomengenderracesexuality
