![]() ![]() ![]() Her story is unfortunate, but her happy ending only comes because of John. Had it not been for Walker, I do not think Ruth would have ever been able to earn the salary she did towards the end of the novel, and I think she would still be feeding Nettie milk and bread. Feminist heroine's are suppossed to be independent however Ruth is not. To me, that is not the definition of a feminist heroine. ![]() He helps her achieve financially independence, and he is right beside her during the difficult times in her life. That being said, she still doesn't become successful on her own. If her husband didn't die, she never would have gone in search of a job, and she never would have been in the predicament she was. Ruth becomes determined and strong because of the situations she is put into. Going off of our class discussion, I think that Ruth has some characteristics of a feminist heroine, but I don't think she is one. ![]()
