In Chapter IV, the Bennets are talking again about Mr. Bingley. Mr. Bennet, who at first was not so excited about the idea of one of his daughters marrying a man he didn't know, came out and told his family that he had actually met Mr. Bingley and they had now become friends. This news excites the girls and they talk more about what they think of Mr. Bingley and how they all hoped of marrying him.
After reading this chapter, I am under the impression that most of the Bennet girls are sort of feminist themselves. They all seem to agree with their mother's words "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." They all act like they have to do the same thing with their lives: marry a rich man, have children, and stay at home and raise them while their husband works. They all want this type of a life, and Mr. Bingley fits the role of rich man well.
