Abstract: This paper aims to deal with Hawthorne’s feminist ideology by analyzing Hester Prynne’s mental activity of rebellious tendencies and her feminist struggles from a perspective of feminism. The paper finally arrives at the conclusion that women should have an independent mind and struggle for the equality between man and woman; women should be regarded as a social subject who should fight for a respectable social role. Woman should have all rights including the right of pursuing love and happiness to protect their interests without engagement from harsh moral standards and religious percepts.
