In any society the issues of discrimination and inequality are major causes of social conflicts. Sexual discrimination which is one of the major existing discriminations is also revealed in Victorian literature. In the Victorian period, women had a special nature peculiarly fit for her domestic role. For example, women’s role was to create a place of peace where man could take refuge from the difficulties of modern life. (Greenblatt, p.20) The highest aim of being women in the Victorian period was to marry, and women were enforced by the conceptions of gender roles on household. Through ‘The Subjection of Women’ written by John Stuart Mill and ‘Aurora Leigh’ written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the way Victorian writers interprets the meaning of marriage for women in the Victorian era is revealed. Joan Stuart Mill challenges long-established assumptions about women’s role in society. (Greenblatt, p.18) He claims gender equality, which contains the issues related to the marriage of women.
