Gender Roles and Female Reality in The Grapes Of Wrath in the Focus of Social Realistic Literature

Summary/Abstract: Socialist realist literary works focus on the oppressive and discriminatory mechanisms that females are exposed to in the social structure and their struggle against these mechanisms. The Grapes of Wrath novel by John Steinbeck, has a valuable place among the social realist literary works of the era. The novel is about the migration journey of a family that makes a living in Oklahoma and lives off agricultural production to search the new jobs with the dissolution of the feudal production. One of the striking points of the journey is the interpretation of the gender roles that stand out throughout the work with the character of Mother Joad. This study evaluates the novel The Grapes of Wrath through the construction of gender roles and discusses the female reality in the work through the character of Mother Joad.
