Waking up Women (complete Collection)
About This Novel
Let's meet Mira. She is a small-town girl who loves reading. She has been an independent and smart child since she was a child. When she was fourteen, she read Nietzsche and Paine. She finished all the textbooks on the first day of school, and the school had to let her skip a grade. But this was the United States in the 1930s. The most common occupation for women was "typist" and the theme of life was "family." Her mother's greatest expectation for her is to "marry into a good family." In a small, closed place, her intelligence and independence make her an outlier. Over time, she succumbed. She got married hastily like other girls, wore a corset, learned to cook, kept the house in order, gave birth to two children, and tried hard to be a "good wife and mother". Her husband has a decent job and she lives in a big house that many people dream of. She has a graceful manner and is always smiling. And only she knew that beneath the calm surface of life, she was silently collapsing...

Recently I was watching Marilyn's Waking Up Women and had a new sense of female self-understanding. The process of a woman being shaped into a woman is a process of losing herself and being willing to be lost in the male-dominated world and become a foil. Women's lack of awakening or awakening is just like thousands of women from generation to generation, and most of us as women remain the same. This is actually the tragedy of women. This is especially true for women, especially Eastern women. What they are taught the most when growing up is that women cannot become real women without getting married and having children. If they do not have children, their life is incomplete, let alone if you do not get married. In Europe and the British continent, women have been unmarried for a long time. There are many reasons. Therefore, we still have more roads and understandings ahead of us to awaken, grow and repair ourselves.
women's awakening
Touched by the author, I have more thoughts about my life and state of mind as a "female".
There is a vast sea of books, and it is inevitable that you will be exhausted after reading them.
Um
I feel that life today is still the same as what the author described. It's just a matter of degree. The fundamental nature has not changed.
Already finished, now reading the essays of E. B. White
