Ok, I need help on a writing prompt for my term paper. The Prompt asks
"How does the treatment of woman change throughout the centuries, and How does the role of woman change throughout the centuries".

Isben's The Doll House is a classic on the treatment of women in literature. Nora is, indeed, treated like a doll. She is there for show only. She isn't thought capable of having a serious thought or discussion. She is her husband's plaything.
Contrast that to modern day stories, which often feature women as the hero. For example in the field of mystery writing, there are now female PIs, who actually solve murders!
So in literature, as in life, women have gone from being 'not quite adults' to taking the stage front and center and showing the self-determination and abilities that they have had all along, but that no one would let them display.
