Comparing Valentin's 'Sex And The City Voters'

I liked how you highlighted the two important ideas in Valentin’s work “Sex and the City Voters, My Ass.” As what she discussed, even though women’s opinion and feelings about politics are being dismissed, it should not be a reason for them to just ignored and not engaged in politics. Valentin also reviewed the large number of women who did not participate in the elections. They can really make a big difference if they voted and were engaged in politics. Women can possess power, but they have to exercise them according to Michel Foucault’s definition of power. Women can definitely have power, but it is not easy to achieve if they are not taking any actions about it. Women such as Victoria Woodhull, Hillary Clinton, and Shirley
Chisholm achieved their accomplishments and power by exercising them. They worked hard and took initiative in order to make a difference on how people perceived women.
