The Female Obstacle: The relation of women and individualism in 1984 and Brave New World. This paper looks at both works and how they are concerned with the problem of individualism, of maintaining an individual identity while living in a strictly conformist society. Both works associate the potential for becoming a true individual with men, while women are characterized as unable to assume such an identity mainly because of their failure to overcome their physical nature. 5.5 pgs. 3 f/c. 2b.
