Final Blog

Women's literature as a whole was not what i expected. I didn't expect to read a book called Vagina Monologues let alone to read about single mom experiences. I didn't expect to expect to read read about a mom and her children in a concentration camp ,  a overweight girl catching H.I.V from her father, or a single mom been a prostitute in her own house. I didn't expect to read about the fathers , either been dead or non existent either. But i did, and Eve Ensler uses her talent and writes novels about everyday woman problems for women to read and even men. Women are always celebrated for being a sex symbol or being a first lady. Today we are seeing more and more women being successful writers, talk show host, and even successful politicians like Hilary Clinton. What is hidden is the nasty and horrible experiences have to go through to get there or experiences that ruin their chances to be successful. In the vagina monologues Eve Ensler personified a women private part numerous times. She wants women to become more comfortable with talking about it. she also wants them to become more comfortable with themselves. Honestly i don't read aloft of books but most of the books i read gave me a huge understand and makes me appreciate women a lot more. I would watch movies like these bit reading makes you sick and think about all of the experiences. I am emotional creature is message for women and men that women are indeed emotional. In fact it is one of the two or three things i know for sure. These books serves an inspiration so that no women should have to go through the experiences that in the book. It brings real life experiences right there to your lap. These books make me sit here and think and wonder are getting stronger and more successful. Is it because they are sick and tired of being the less dominant sex? Watching the movie about the women in jail makes me wonder if they wasn't treated so bad in life and by men would they be there. Well at the end of the day women are on the rise and Eve Ensler are one of the inspirational women behind it. Professor Gaurino is a prime example of someone that women would want to be. She knows she can be the difference between women waiters and women professors. She knows she can be the difference between men thinking they are dominant and men thinking women are equal. That's why she choose the use Eve Enslers books. That's why she choose to show that movie at the end of the semester.  Everyone in class has to leave with a better understanding of  why women literature exist because i sure do. I will save all the books so when my sister gets older she can read them.
