Explanation:

Charlotte Doyle is a girl who dresses as a boy. From this we can assume that this novel wants us to think about gender and what it means to bend it, shape it, any way you want it. For example, Charlotte wears a dress around her family and becomes quite feminine, but on the boat, she puts on canvas trousers and becomes masculine. (They even start calling her "Mister," right?) Charlotte's gender can vary depending on the situation. It's malleable, like Silly Putty. If we were feeling particularly academic, we might even say that Charlotte's gender is socially constructed. (Yes, we're pushing our glasses up our nose right now.) Also note that Charlotte's ever-shifting gender is often contrasted with something that does not change: her biological sex. Though she wears boy's clothing, she always keeps her girl's body.

"The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" was published in 1990 and features a girl from the high who rebels and participates in a very dangerous adventure in a ship.

Charlotte represents the social role that was expected of women of the time, she was repressed to be fragile, naïve, well behaved and modest, however, she finds herself in the midst of dangerous plots involving episodes of violence, death and fights. Charlotte, then, represents a release from the social oppression that women were subjected to, when she participates in all these moments, being an essential character for the resolution of these conflicts. In other words, we can show that Charlotte was only able to show herself and be comfortable with her own existence when she broke the social standard expected for her. This reveals that women would only discover their true potentials once they rebelled against the repression they suffered.
