Gone with the Wind: Scarlett Stepping Up

Gone With the Wind 1939

Gone with the Wind is a hundred-year-old classic. Much like Jane Austen (Read my Article on What Emma and Elizabeth Taught Me), Margaret Mitchell paints a story of chivalry and class that is replaced with the hard-faced American culture in place today. Mitchell shows the fall of the southern belle and rise of the concept of modern day American women who demand equality from their counterparts.
