The common analytical frame is the metaphor of the doll's house, which seems to provide an apt description (diagnosis) of the condition of each heroine, the space they inhabit, and their attitude to the economy of their everyday lives and their husbands. It also defines the situation in which each of them decides, or is compelled by circumstances, to move out of their sheltered place. In each of the three fictional cases the attention is focused on the growing self‑awareness of women, who would not have gained a mature knowledge of the world and of themselves if they had not been forced to abandon their doll's house existence.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Moving out of the doll's house: Henrik Ibsen, Kate Chopin and Eliza Orzeszkowa}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/118115/PDF/2020-04-RL-04-Sokalska.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rl.2020.135115}, keywords={19th century fiction and drama, women's emancipation, growth of self‑awareness, the doll's house metaphor, Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906), Eliza Orzeszkowa (1841–1910), Kate Chopin (1850-1904)}, }
