Abstract
In the early and middle Victorian age, the gender roles of male and female were explicitly divided according to sexism, which was improved in the late Victorian period. Most of Wilde’s comedies of manners were written at that time, in which the female characters had excellent abilities and advanced thought, which reflected the changes of social concept. This paper will analyze the female figures in Wilde’s comedies who dare to transcend the gender roles assigned by society.
