Rich's essay on "Taking Women Seriously" was amazing to me. She made a lot of good points that many people run away from. I loved how she talked about how when she was in high school she had women teachers who were independent and had a college degree but they still worked as just teachers because they were told they had to. Then when she went to college she barely ever had a female teacher, they were all male. This just shows how women arent equal to men in the work force. I also like how when she talked about "rape of the mind" this is something many people know but never talked about. I respect her for bringing it up they way she did. She points out how men try to sexual harrass women and women are afraid to deny it because it may effect their grade or their positon at work.This essay was great im glad she wrote it.

I think this essay has impacted all of us in a strong way because at Tepeyac we are all girls that are independent just like Adrienne. I agree with the fact that you respect her for realy getting down to detail with what was going on and what at times continues to go on.
ReplyDeleteThe Rape of mind was interesting in the essay because you're right people do not talk about it. They rather ignore it and keep it in the dark.
ReplyDeleteI really the liked the "rape of mind" concept she wrote about. Its true many women are afraid to speak up because they feel powerless. Women dont want to be looked down upon when most of the co-workers are men.
