Women


Women in Literature are presented in various ways , a woman appears as : a wife , mistress , nice girl , widow etc…… in other way she is presented as a queen , strong working woman , independent and a wife with pride , during my study at collage , I explored different types of art that related to women issues , I got attached to specific novels and poems which I felt that they really touched my soul and let me sank into deep thinking , and gave me a new vision to the world around me . My study shaped my personality and gave me a clear start point to begin my real life after graduation , feminist is what I am after Graduation , I can have discussions with other people and prove my point of view with some evidence and quotation from different literary works , I know that literature is not real it is imagination , parody ,irony and more , but with literature u can change someone’s life .

Feminism is the thing that changed my life , made me thinking of everything happened to me , and to think 10 times before I take any decision in my life , to know if my choice is going to obliterate me or it is going to add something to me as a woman , at the beginning of my relationship with my husband now , he faced lots of difficulties dealing with me , I explained to him that being a feminist does not mean that I am anti- masculine but is to be me , and to have my own life , character opinion and self respect . Thanks God he understands what I am. And he started to encourage me although in some situations we still argue about.

I feel bad if I heard stories about women weakness, how naive they r that they think that being a well-mannered woman is to get married to the first man proposed to them, not continuing their studies, not to work, and to be a slave –sorry but I couldn’t found other word to describe her - I am not encouraging them to rebel against their families , but to have a role to have a choice . To build a family is not to destroy your life , I am not critical of women staying at home but I am against them if it is not their choice , I am against women who do not want to improve themselves , get a degree , study , you r not sure that your man is going to be with you all your life , so get a back up plans , and if your man noticed that , he will Respect you , and this what women needs from men Respect before any other emotions .

Women you have the right

Read and think about the meaning between the lines :
