The Stoic Antithesis - Mrs Bennet

Philosophy and Literature - Female Empowerment - Bluestocking Society - Women's intellectual history

In this episode of The Female Stoic Podcast, we are looking at Pride and Prejudice's Mrs. Bennet - a character who embodies an overtly emotional approach to life. She is driven by the social and economic pressures of the Georgian era and a genuine desire to secure her daughters' futures through advantageous marriages. This larger than life character contrasts sharply with stoic principles, as she is known for her outspoken anxiety, hyperbolic expressions of emotion, and relentless pursuit of husbands for her daughters, rather than maintaining emotional equanimity or withdrawing from external affairs.
