Women in literature

The area of women’s writing as a distinct section of literature is based on the conception,

that throughout history, women’s experiences have been molded by their gender. This makes

women’s literature a sector worthy of study.

Many extremely influential authors and writers are among women. A great writer, as the

wife of U.S. president John Adams, Abigail Adams was an outspoken and modern thinking

person. Her letters to her husband sheds a whole light on their beloved relationship. Her phrase,

“remember the ladies”, show her strong style and firm grip on the principles of good governance.

While compassion and love, are the hallmarks of the writings of Julian of Norwich. As a

mystic, she urges faith and devotion, not justification, ( Appleford, 190-214). Her work,

“Revelations of Divine Love” is one of the most marvelous writings of religious escapade.

It is important for women to write, to express themselves, their ideas and their

experiences, as a gender. Writing has, no doubt, great power, to show a vivid image of the

society, to inspire positive change, and to condemn negativity.

Women writers have left their mark on history. In every subject of literature women have

held an important place. From religion to fantasy, from social to political, they have held their

own discrete place.

The dynamics of gender have always been pivotal role in the world of literature. There is

no absolute gender division, rather tendencies. Males tend to be harsh and frank in their writings.

While the book, “Tales from the Sister grimmer” uses violet and graphical parables to capture

the harshness of the life of a woman. Both genders write on all subjects. As one of the oldest

advices to writers, to write what they know, most writers have written from their own gender

perspective, (Eagly, Alice and Crowley, 283).
