What women had to deal with...


decided to take it back, and look at what women had to deal with and go through during the 19th century, just to be able to get their thought on paper. 
"Women had been made to feel that they were inferior by nature "...
-_-

     There were many great writers which were men that composed some of the world's greatest literature pieces. This article I read showed how women prospered in writing  and it really shows how Austen and Emily Dickinson were looked at with confusion, because critics didn't think that women had it in them to write at such a high literacy level. Many people looked down upon the feminist movement, and thought that women in literature expressed to much awareness. 

      Women began writing, which was always thought to be the "men's job". From the male-oriented society in which they lived, women decided to compose plays, poems, adventure and romance novels. As time progressed, feminists had advanced in confronting male dominance,  which lead to the overthrow of prejudices of men against women.


    I believe women encountered a lot, and if it weren't for those who decided to step up and take action against sexism, we would not be where we are today. Yes, people continue to be biased throughout the world, and I plan to focus from here on out on different countries regarding feminism.
