Lawrence often compares the mechanistic world of industrialize Britain with the world of nature, and the fecundity and sexuality of the natural world is seen as distorted by the mechanistic world that has developed in this century. In such a comparison, Clifford is on the side of the industrial world, while Connie comes out on the side of the natural world. Yet, this is not what society wants women to be, and yet it is also the reason women were so restricted by society, because they were viewed as dangerous threats to the natural order because of their inherent sexuality.
In Lawrence's conception, living according to nature precludes the possibility of sin, though society may see the issue in a different light. While one could apply this idea to Hester and Tess as well, their authors clearly do not view the issue in that way, though they do find their women more sinned against than sinning.
More ancient writers tended to see sin as inevitable, and much of the behavior of their characters was ordained by the gods.

Here as well there is a conflict between the laws of man and the laws of the gods, with Artemis exacting he revenge because she has been slighted by Hippolytus.
In Hippolytus by Euripides, guilt is assigned because of conduct and action with no regard for intent. This is so in spite of the fact that, as with Oedipus, these characters are following preordained paths. It is clear that there is no choice for the characters in Hippolytus...
While this paper may be just a scratch on the surface of what can prove to be a rich and engaging area of new research on women in leadership, it reveals that either way women still has the choice on which path to take. Neither path is easy though the struggle may be in different arenas. And while advocates for the further progress of women to reach top leadership positions
Yet women with similar or comparable education and experience or achievement still earn less than men in work organizations. A missing link or the absent ingredient, between performance and a just payoff, was identified as women's own ability to comfortably and consistently draw the attention they deserve to the contributions they made or gave.
