Abstract
During the 19th century, Woman was interested by feminist movements to maintain her female identity in her society; this makes her face a lot of troubles at the political, economic and the social level. This was widely explored by Henry James in which he titled it by "innocence", means that woman confronted with new societies, with no previous background about it. Particularly, he reflected this concept in his famous novella Daisy Miller in 1878.
This study is based on the feminist interpretations of Henry James, and the way he depicted his American protagonist Daisy within European society; precisely, the freedom and innocence of Daisy, that leads her to fall in troubles of the European prejudices. Because of Daisy's ignorance with the European traditions.
