Reading your delightful poem, reminds me of my cousin Lisa and how she overcame many obstacles. She disabled the typical stereotypes of how woman are portrayed, overcomes poverty and proves that women are capable of pursuing their goals. In the poem “It’s a Woman’s World” the speaker discusses how women evaluate their failures by milestones. I would argue that women today such as Lisa calculate their success by milestones.
Back then, women were considered only being useful for housework such as laundry, cleaning, cooking and babysitting. Although I highly appreciate that sort of work, I would prefer a wife that is active and has a solid career like my cousin Lisa. She graduated from UCLA and has a profession as a pediatrician. Ironically speaking, some men do not believe women are capable of handling that type of responsibility. That’s why I feel this poem is a wakeup call for women to prove some men wrong.
In my neighborhood, African Americans and Latino boys have a rough time graduating. It’s usually the women who make it to the Universities. This fact alone tells me that women have a better chance of overcoming hardship. I was astonished off the fact that Lisa grew up in a household where it’s easy to get access drugs and things of that manner. Dodging all that negativity in her neighborhood proves that women can do something if they just attempt it.
Finally I would like to address that women today still do not get credited the way they should. Women have the most unique aspect a human being can do, which is birthing a child. So when it comes to women never on the scene of the crime, I would argue that the speaker is exaggerating. She indeed knows that if it weren’t for women, all these important advocates and philosophers would not exist.
