Feminism in Brave New World 
(Book title) is...
Brave New World 
What is the protagonist’s attitude toward the male and female characters in the text? 
The protagonist’s attitude towards the male and female characters is that males are far more superior to females since just an average man could be considered an Alpha plus, when all women must have sex and give birth.
Imagine if you were a female in this world your main purposes are to work basic and even sometimes unpleasant jobs, and then go home with a different man every night specifically so you look like you fit in with society
How are women represented in the text?
- In Brave New World, men are held in a higher standing than women in all situations, excluding the single category of social situations. Men are shown as superior to women all throughout the book by the way they act and by the way live . The book starts out showing that overall dominance. That men are superior in all areas of life, excluding the singular area of social situations. Men are the leaders of all the positions in life that require or describe power, and women are the dirt by which the men tread. In all areas of this brave new life, women are considered as dirty creatures that should be tamed Add Body Text
What roles do both men and women play within family, work situations, etc.?

From the beginning of the novel to the end, I noticed that men are given the head figure roles. This could be analyzed through their job because the men in the higher class are given the more complex job, whereas women are restricted from achieving that . students are given a tour of the hatchery and all the students that are participating in the tour are male, this helps to signify that men work in a factory with a higher job and women do not.

Secondly, I saw a pattern as to the power of men, male characters are the ones who control the world state, especially people like Mustapha Mond and seven other controllers control the entire world. People like the DHC and Henry Ford have the power and authority over a factory. But not a single female character doesn’t have enough power over other citizens unlike those who are mentioned
What were the social and historical conditions for women in this period that might help us understand their roles and desires in the text?
The men and women in Brave New World have very different roles in society. They are different not only based on sex, but also on location and the situation at hand . In situations or places of power, such as the workplace, men are represented as physiologically and mentally higher-up than women. 
What were the social and historical conditions for women in this period that might help us understand their roles and desires in the text?
Women, however, do maintain a higher standing when relating to social roles since the Women are needed for birthing the children. When it comes to sexual situations, they both seem to hold the same standing.
How and to what degree are the women’s lives limited or restricted in this text?
Women have a lack of power and are considered as object use just for pleasure for men. To an extent almost all the women’s lives are used for birthing children and then besides that men are in control of basically everything.
