Women are mostly considered as weak and dependent on others by the society. This statement is irrelevant and cannot be agreed upon completely. In human social behavior, discrimination is treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction towards, a person based on the group, class, or category to which the person is perceived to belong. There are women who fight through their lives all alone, who have to face the obstacles that life has to offer them without anyone by their side, by raising their heads in front of the society unwilling to bow down before them. The character Hagar, created by Margaret Laurence in her work The Stone Angel is such a person who does not wish to bow down before the male dominated society. Set in a fictitious town, Manawaka, The Stone Angel is a journey through the life and the mind of Hagar. The Stone Angel reflects the aspects of the title character.
