Antigone

…

…demonstrates feminism in several ways. She initially challenges a powerful male establishment by directly disobeying King Creon, the head of a strict patriarchy. She demonstrates a strong will and defiance for the laws of man. Her search for popularity also shows her feminist mentality. All of these characteristics combine to make Antigone appear to be a feminist by modern standards, even in a time much older than the feminist movement of the past two centuries.
