Abstract
This study aims to explore how women’s citizenship against patriarchy and gender inequality is reflected in the works of Romanticism. The principal element is to analyze gender, culture and community spirit in the works of the Romantic writers Mary Wollstonecraft, William Blake, Anna Barbauld, and Amelia Opie. As radicals, all of them wanted to pursue women’s citizenship against the stereotyped gender roles amid the revolutionary period. Wollstonecraft enthusiastically attempted to get the gender equality of female social roles. Blake attempted to recover gender identity against dichotomous gender roles through his protagonist Thel and Oothoon. Barbauld prophesied of the British empire’s end and Opie desired a peaceful community without racial discrimination. It is impossibility to appreciate the hope of women achieving citizenship without approaching the new values of race, class, and gender in British Romanticism.
