With this purpose,Glasgow goes back in history and discusses some examples of English literature dealing with ‘womanly woman’, criticizing them, followed by analysisof contemporaneous authors bringing new insight to the concept. The purpose of the present article is to show that, as the perception of ‘womanlywoman’ evolves into more reasonable understanding of natural woman, it is the emerging movement of feminism, which, according to Glasgow, canrestore balance in disturbed woman—man relationship.Keywords: Equality, feminism, ‘womanly woman’
