Produktbeschreibung
Mademoiselle De Maupin Vol. I is a bold exploration of love, gender identity, and societal conventions. The novel follows a strong-willed and unconventional woman who defies the gender norms of her era. Through the protagonist s adventures, the story critiques the rigid societal expectations placed on women and challenges traditional views on morality and virtue. The narrative begins with a preface that takes a satirical approach to the hypocrisy of contemporary society, particularly regarding its moral and ethical double standards. The critique extends to the way people, especially journalists, preach virtue while secretly indulging in vice, reflecting Gautier's disdain for such moral inconsistencies. This preface lays the groundwork for a story centered around a protagonist who subverts the conventional roles of femininity and virtue, offering a critique of societal mores that were both humorous and insightful. By presenting a character who boldly navigates these social boundaries, Gautier invites readers to question the authenticity of societal values and the limits imposed by gender expectations, all while weaving a tale rich with satire and wit.
