Womanhood is the disposition, character, or qualities traditionally attributed to women; womanliness.
Womanhood is:
1) achieving personal goals while fulfilling society's expectations of motherhood
2) a realization that certain physical manipulations are expected and almost required of yourself
3) responsibility over the vulnerability of your sex and its underlying double standards
Ok, I see how this can work but you're getting into some serious feminist territory. Of course, I think that's great but it means you might need to be familiar with some of the recent feminist arguments. Have you ever read any feminism? Of course, it will always be a good exercise for you to develop your own arguments so this is ok.
ReplyDeleteWhat you do need to do, however, is place this in a context (why now? why are you concerned?) and use that to ground the paper so it is not excessively abstract. We'll work on this in class today.
