After reading “Whatever Happened To _____?” By Anonymous I got the sense of how it’s like to be a Woman in the world of writing. The author took on challenges but didn’t let that get in her way. She is a Mother,Professor and a Writer in a world where woman don’t get enough credit which they deserve. The author states “being a mother, a woman, wife, and a writer is different from being a writer-writer”. This quote means that taking on difficulties and being successful while doing so is so much different from just being a writer because being a woman in this era can mean less people care about what you write or just treat you less than anyone else because of your gender. I enjoy the authors perspective and the tone she uses to express her feelings to empower other woman just like her and motivate writers to continue to work hard s as he not let anything get to them in the Era we live in today.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
I agree with what you said about getting a sense of what it is like to be a female writer. I also enjoyed the authors perspective and the choice of words she uses to express herself in her work to motivate and empowers just like you stated.
I agree with what you said about where sometimes woman don’t seem to get as much credit as men do. I don’t see any reason not to.
I agree that female and male writers don’t receive the same credit, when they should.
