Part 5/13:
The chapter on the "emancipated female" explores a type of woman who is often mistakenly viewed as empowered. According to Miss V, these women have renounced traditional roles, often for intellectual reasons, and are usually considered "beautiful" women who do not need to work for money because they come from affluent backgrounds. She criticizes this independence, implying that it is a privilege inherent to beauty and social standing rather than merit or effort.
