Women Oppression

                Unfortunately, women oppression is still widely present in the world among us. Whether it appears in the physical form, verbal form, or societal form it is present throughout every country.

                Although it is not as pertinent in the United States as other countries, middle eastern countries per say, Americans also deal with women oppression. Specifically in the area of society, where women are still struggling for equality. This struggle is seen in literature through The Awakening, where Edna is stuck in an average American family and discovers that she has her own wishes and desires other than what has been implicated on her.

                Women in the Middle East experience women oppression through all three variables physically, verbally, and through their society. The society in the Middle East set women lower than men, where women are given much less rights than men. Rights such as education, where education is less available for women than it is for men. In the book A Thousand Splendid Suns, women oppression is shown through two amazing stories, Laila’s and Marian’s. The book not only unveils women oppression in the Middle East but also the strength these women have to persevere and remain strong for their children and the people they love. I truly admire the ability these women have to experience such oppression and continue to move on.

                It is important for us to not ignore women oppression, women are just as human as men there is no reason for any higher acclamation of either. Men are not greater than women, and women are not greater than men. This needs to be recognized entirely throughout the world, because where this mentality is not present, others are provoked.
