The great gatsby

Question

Tyson’s critical perspective argues that Fitzgerald’s text maintains a “patriarchal ideology in terms of the the changing role of American women during the 1920s” and that “the moral structure of society rests on the stability of the patriarchal family and that the stability of the patriarchal family rests on the conformity of women to patriarchal gender roles.”  Apply the Feminist theory lens to determine if Fitzgerald celebrates or condemns the changing roles of women in his text.
