This book discusses women's emancipation, freedom and self-fulfilment in
D. H. Lawrence's fiction. It explores women's realization of their
subjugation to patriarchal norms and their endeavor to liberate
themselves from these norms in order to be free and self-fulfilled. In
fact, in the four novels under study, Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow,
Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley's Lover women's lives are limited by
patriarchal norms and all their love relationships are fraught with
conflicts due to men's desire to dominate women as love partners and
women's determination and resolution to subvert that male domination.
Out of this study, it turns out that D. H. Lawrence promotes, through
his writings, womanist principles of a peaceful love relationship. The
promotion of women's education is one of the key issues which are used
by the writer as a way towards their emancipation and thereafter towards
the harmonious development of all nations.
