Men are the head but women are the necks, you cant have a head w/o a neck :)

The first essay we read by Adrienne Rich is an example of feminist literature. I say this because her essay made valid points about how women have been treated differently just because men have to feel as if they are superior. She states how when she was in high school all her teachers were women with Phd's but had no choice but to be a teacher, but when she went to college she had not one female professor. She also talks about how men expect women to just be like a doormat when it comes to jobs, being a wife, or even being a student trying to pursue a career. Many women are afraid to do something greater then what a man can because they feel they have so much power. So many men have so much power to the point where they can make a sexual gesture to a women and will threaten the woman if they say something then he will fire her or fail her from his class. Rich states that scenario in her essay. Rich shows the dark and the bright side of being a women. She wrote this essay so women can see, and realize we can fight back we just have to have the confidence and the faith to do so.
