final

Women literature is defined in many ways . It explores the reaches of women’s lives. They focus on the dynamics of relationships with family, friends, and lovers. They may end happily, though not always, that examine issues which confront many women, at work or at home. Women literature tries to reach out to all women. A lot of women have been through things that have damaged them physically and mentally. They write to show how women got through their problems, how they stood tall and held their head high. They right to guide fellow women who go through similar things so it won’t lead them it to depression or anything worse. In a lot of the books they talk about women looking for their identity finding themselves after their hardship. It goes through the history of women describing how they got to the place they are now there life. It strives for women to take a stand know their inner beauty. Women have always made a big difference in the world but never been acknowledged for it.
In Enslers book she describes the different emotions from women growing up and I have never read nothing like that .To Ensler language is what is important. Language defined is a body of words and the system for their use, most common to people as a way of defining who they are, from the same community, nation, geographical area or their cultural and tradition. In the authors eyes what you call your body parts is a big deal. Your description of you shows the level of respect you have for yourself, in this case your body. When defining your sexuality, body, e.t.c your choice of words and the way you say things also gives off emotions and inner feelings of one’s self. A point the author is trying to make is that women are self- conscious and don’t give themselves enough credit. Women are looked down on and certain acts like talking about their vaginas is something they would find shameful because of society
It isn’t what we are taught in high school. And then there is the women who really went through hardship in camps loosing their homes have to be the head of the house, why can’t we learn about that. So many women have been raped and abused and people have seen or known and kept quite, why is that? When will women’s lives be cherished . In women literature that’s what it’s about understanding what it means to be a women, taking control. In the book two or three things I know for sure I like how the family was basically a females. The cycle of women in a lot of families are the same or have similar outcomes. Very few women have the strength to change. I believe it has to do more with them seeing the life and turning the look on it negative so it would be something they hate and want to change, It's like a family curse. You can't stop all habits you will eventually pick up some but it's the ones you choose to keep that make you stand out from all the rest.
I learned about a lot of different women and the different struggles. I learned a lot about being a women and how u really physically have to love yourself unconditionally. I recognized why I go through some of the things I do based of other women’s stories. I want to continue reading books about women and learning about their obstacles . I found that you can learn a lot about your life and things that go on from it and it helps when trying to make goals for yourself. I want to know more about the work Ensler it is similar to the things I want to do. I enjoyed the movie on the female inmates a lot it made me want to cry. Women literature is one of the best things out for women because only previous women can guide and encourage women.
