Mina Loy’s feminist manifesto was in my eyes brilliant, I love the way she describes how woman are brain washed into having self esteems , the double standard in society. A woman’s sexuality is made to depict her, if a woman sleeps around she is labeled a hore, or considered a bad woman, Woman have the right to look for love in as many places until finding the right one if she chooses. Her approach was definitely very strong and to the point, I agreed with a lot of her statements. One of the statements “leave off looking to men to find out what you are not– seek within yourselves to find out what you are”.. this is something that I can relate to our reading intimate apparel, woman who weight their value by  the men in their lives. like Esther she had so much talent and potential but her lust for love lead her to pain suffering and hurt,

Esther is a woman with big dreams, she only hopes to become  a successful woman in life in general , in her eyes success is measured through class in society and also love. Many woman feel the need of love. Married to a perfect Stanger shows that Esther was desperate for love,  Her husband was a total different person than she imaged him to be. Esther was very naïve and foolish to believe a person can be trusted through letters.

The woman did not realize that love is not what completes them they had a lot more to offer themselves then a man. Love is an emotion which we all must feel but many woman let a man and love destroy their dreams and kill their passion for other things. intimate apparel was a great example of that.

Their new beginning is  a happy ending in my eyes because sometimes you must learn to fail in order to win, and just maybe the woman would never make the same mistakes, being taking advantage of and used in the name of “love” ,
