  • Essay / Glory of women and analysis of the feminist manifesto

    The similarity in the two poems that I am going to describe concerns femininity, morality and characters. In the poem “Glory of Women” and “Feminist Manifesto” are poems that readers know are about women fighting for their rights. But the poems are really about what they had to do as women. The femininity in “Glory of Women” is “You love us when we are heroes, on leave or injured in a place worthy of mention” (Sassoon p. 2025). And the femininity of the “Feminist Manifesto” was “Courageous and denies from the start that pathetic battle cry of the applause trap: woman is the equal of man” (Loy p. 2078). I chose these quotes because they show the similarities between women and how if men did not have women on this earth, how could they survive and make their way without women in the world. The authors established that women have the right to do what men can do. As they read the poems, it was as if they were choosing who could do it best. Writers have called it us as women and men as men that we can't do it.
