N2  - Résumé

This work investigates in Charles Dickens'Hard Times the impact of a male domination on women. It tackles gender issues that occurred on various social layers due to the industrial Revolution. It attempts to analyze patriarchy and capitalism as sources of women's subordination.

The work makes clear that  patriarchy gives men a particular supremacy both on public and domestic platforms and their rights warranted. It proves that capitalism makes men boastful in a way that they are the only decision-makers in all.

Written against the backdrop of the feminist approach, this work concludes that patriarchy and capitalism are two hegemonic systems that reinforce one another to hold tight women's subordination and that patriarchy is the worst form of that subordination
