Also known as a "real lady", a "true lady", simply a "lady", or an "angel in the house" in Victorian-era works, she's the perfect lady in the Western (and especially Victorian British) mindset, and in that related to Yamato Nadeshiko, who is the perfect lady in the Japanese mindset. The two ideals share many, many qualities. A Proper Lady is like a mythical creature or an unattainable ideal, often referred to, but rarely seen. Actual Proper Lady characters are largely a Forgotten Trope by now, and modern ones are likely to be accused of being Purity Sues. However, Proper Ladies were widely used in Victorian and earlier literature. Jane Austen was one of the first authors that introduced such qualities to heroines that did not fit into the strictest view of what is acceptable of a Proper Lady, beginning the slow death of this trope. The last time it was seen alive was around the 1950's. |
