In Chapter 3, Humphries discusses how transport in The Rainbow enframes journeys of female liberation and empowerment across three generations of Brangwen women—and Ursula in particular—as they negotiate female travel as a form of dissent against male structures. He argues, however, that transport as the expression of travel and vital flow is problematic. Modern transport increasingly establishes and fulfils female travel independence but threatens alternately to co-opt woman as the mechanical passenger of new dominant male technological structures and agendas. By exposing, in Anton, the futility and self-destructiveness of such agendas, however, Lawrence liberates transport for Ursula to consider it as a progressive force for cultural renewal, placing twentieth-century woman at the heart of mobility and change. |
