Anonymous’ work was really great. It made me feel fear for the women out there who have gone through similar experiences as her. I’d never questioned that women had to go through much more to achieve the same goals as men in their fields, but never really thought about writing as well. I love how well she explains what it means to be a writer for her. The long list of things she had to do for her children, just to be a mother, while also working a regular job to be the primary money maker in the family while also trying to work on her writing sounds insane. I couldn’t even imagine balancing all of this. Then on top of that she had to deal with her abusive husband. It’s made me appreciate woman writers a lot more than I did. I’d ask what she did to help her daughter recover from having those regulations that her father put in her head.

Hi Dylan, I agree I thought the author did a good job giving us many details about the struggles she had to go through just to be a writer in her household. I also wouldn’t have thought that many women writers go through the oppression of men especially not in their own houses.
Hey Dylan, I like how after reading her story, it enlightened your perspective of women writers who may threaten the success of their spouse. Unfortunately, it is seen throughout our history, women needed to work many time more in order to even come close to the success that men had. I agree with you how juggling her lifestyle as a wife, mother, teacher and publisher is unreal and I applaud her.
Hey Dylan, I really enjoyed your straightforward response for the anonymous writing . The detail you have added about her life situations and how they impacted your way of thinking about females and their responsibilities made me believe that the author did a good job of explaining her self in very good detail so that anyone could feel for what she has been through.
I disagree about fearing the women out there who have gone through similar experiences as her, but i do give them the respect of what they accomplished. It definitely makes women stronger and lot more independent of a man. Anonymous’ writing definitely did get me upset to see the way her husband treats her after all the hard work she have done for the family.
