So the picture to my right is just a cool picture for the whole feminist idea, including other rights and social issues. This is obviously an old looking add that is cool because during the time of either WWII (or after that) feminists were teaching their daughters they they deserved to be treated equally as well. Along with other ideas such as racism and homophobic people that people started to notice were not equal rights. Anyway, back to focusing on the Feminist, Adrienne Rich's essay was definitely the most feminist piece of literature that we have read so far. She was all for the equal education and respect for women because of the personal first hand experiences she had with males throughout her studies and in the professional world. Rich saw and heard horrible stories on innocent women being abused both physically and mentally, but not once did she hear the same types of situations for innocent men. At the time, she was taking a stand for women and stating what was going on with them as well as the fact that women deserve to be equal to men. She states that women are more than capable to obtain knowledge, independence, freedom, and a professional life.
i love the picture! I also agree with how you said she was taking a stand for women because most women till this day and probably back then when she wrote this essay were probably scared to discuss situations like this let alone write about it.
