Girl Power! \m/(^-^)
The story I am choosing to write about is Adriane Rich's essay "Taking Women Students Seriously". The essay is an example of feminist literature. In her essay she describes how women should not fall under the command of men command to suppress her but instead to fight back. It is an example of feminist literature because it encourages women to fight back and it does not depict women as house wives that measure their merits by how good a wife she is. The essay shows women as a strong, confident people that do not have to sit around and wait for a men to come save them. Women are depicted as people who have gone against society and yet manage to succeed in it not by mimicking men but by being women in a world that is run by men.
This topic also drives me crazy and I enjoy reading stories that deal with women sticking up for themselves. That is why I agree with you that Adrinne Rich's essay was one of the best essays that show feminist literature.
ReplyDeleteI as well love this topic because Rich's message is really out there trying to get women to realize all the things they can accomplish.
ReplyDeleteI didn't blog about this one only because I had a feeling that yougirls were going to. But I do agree with all you because she did stand up for herself. As other women should do and not be afraid to do so. But yea they need to do something in order to accomplish their goals.
