The New Woman is a term describing the rise of feminist power and status in the Victorian era. The new woman opposes all the acts of the traditional woman and is a woman who fights for equality, status and her own happiness. The traditional woman is someone who is controlled by her husband and children and maintains a well-maintained lifestyle within the home, but has no other powers or responsibilities outside the home. In the novel "Dracula", by Bram Stoker, Stoker's point of view and his support for new women are not clearly presented due to the mix of traits he has in his main female characters. Stoker presented his character Mina with traits that represent the new woman, but on the other hand he also included a character Lucy who is all for and represents the traditional woman. Similar to Stoker, in the poem "The Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti, the support of the new woman seems to be present but seems to be contradicted by the events that follow in the rest of the poem. On the one hand the character Laura seems to represent the new woman where she goes to look for the forbidden fruit, on the other she seems to have been punished. Then again the author introduces the traits of the new woman with her sister Lizzie who defends and fights the goblins to save her sister. Ultimately, in these two texts it is not determined whether the authors are in support of the new women or not due to the mixture of events and traits that occur in this literature.
