dc.descriptionA Defiant and Critical Female Voice in the Eighteenth Century: Mary Hays and the Memoirs of Emma Courtney. Mary Hays was heavily engaged in examining the position of woman in the patriarchal society of the Age of Enlightenment. The eponymous heroine in Hays’ Memoirs of Emma Courtney becomes the embodiment of female defiance against patriarchal constraints by expressing explicitly her sexual desires and emotions. This article aims at investigating Hays’s critique of the social and sexual restrictions and oppressions exerted on women in the late eighteenth century. REZUMAT. O voce feminină sfidătoare și critică în secolul al XVIII-lea: Mary Hays şi Memoriile Emmei Courtney. Mary Hays a fost extrem de interesată să prezinte poziţia femeii în societatea patriarhală din Secolul Luminilor. Eroina principală a lui Hays din Memoriile Emmei Courtney devine întruchiparea sfidării feminine a constrângerilor patriarhale prin exprimarea explicită a dorinţelor sale sexuale şi a emoţiilor sale. Prezentul articol analizează modul în care Hays critică oprimarea și restricţiile sociale şi sexuale exercitate asupra femeilor din secolul al XVIII-lea. Cuvinte cheie: Mary Hays, Memoriile Emmei Courtney, gender, iluminism, patriarhie, sfidarea feminină, romanul secolului al XVIII-lea.en-US
