Oh, absolutely!

Anne spent most of her youth trying to figure out why she wasn't allowed to do the things that the boys were.

And getting a job was HUGE! Some might say that it was sexist that she was stuck in the teacher role, but (a) it's what she wanted to do, and (b) a job of any type in that day & age was a big thing!

You know I read these books growing up, so bear with me because it's been awhile since I have read them. From what I gathered, she certainly had a great deal of integrity and wanting to be her own person. She ended up getting married, so she couldn't have been too much of a feminist. Perhaps the author put just enough of a touch in there so that we as the reader would pick up on it. =)

In the sense that Anne had the gumption to go against the social norms of the time and assert her own power, yes!

Sure she was, and getting married doesn't make her less so. Feminism had nothing to do with disliking men, it had to do with getting the same social and economical advantages that men had.

I don't think so,but she was a daring character for the time period.
