Gender Inequality

When I think of gender inequality, the first thing that comes to mind is the book we read during the semester. The idea that women are to act a certain way and dress a certain way is obsurd. Yet, the men holding the power it is/was a power struggle. I felt such empathy for the ladies in the story, but it made me realize how lucky we have it in America. Yes, we may live in a patricarchal society, but we are not yet told to cover our faces and entire body. However, I do commend Azari for her strong sense of self that moved a group of women. She gives me the hope that women are still needed and we are strong, no matter what others may tell us. Not only as a female, but learning to take a stand for self worth and not taking any nonsense from others.
