Literature

I really enjoyed this article. I am completely agree that most literature discriminates against women and African Americans. I remember being in middle school and finding out that some poets and writers that were female had to go under fake men names because women couldn't write books. I never understood that. Why does society want people to be someone they aren't? Aren't we supposed to accept everyone as they are? Something else that makes me iffy about is if you really want to know about a past time you read about it. But if you are reading about the civil rights movement that was written by at white person it doesn't make sense. Someone that was there and was really having it happen to them should know more about the topic and have a clearer understanding of what was going on. So when someone cannot write about a past time that happened to them then you are losing a valuable piece of history.

Men didn't want women and African Americans to learn how to read and write or publish anything because they didn't want them to be smarter than they are. So the whole this is sexist, racist and just plan stupid.
