Sister Soulsby was supposed to come to the church and help Brother Ware raise the debt. Instead, she broke the rules of what was supposed to be a religious woman, who is pure and godly. Sister Soulsby was supposed to be a lady of God and of the church, yet she found ways of getting her point across through manipulation. This was something the public looked down upon. We believe Frederic did this to make his case point of the differences in women and how they could change the beliefs of society.

Up to this time, Theron understood that women were supposed to act a certain way and Celia defied all of these expectations. Overall, Celia representes represents a turning point in the liberation of women. Women like Celia no longer had to be afraid of being considered an "old maid" if they were not married by a certain time. Instead, women like Celia could now be admired for the independence. The only struggle left, it seems, is for men to understand what this kind of woman is actually all about. Image from www.bookrags.com
