Martin Luther King Women's Rights
In this essay I will be talking about the theme injustice which shows in three books. The books that I will be writing over are I Have a Dream by Martin Luther King Jr., Shakespeare’s Sister by Woolf, and The Problem That Has No Name by Friedan. I Have a Dream by Martin Luther King Jr. this speech was in Washington D.C on August 28, 1963. This speech had to do with the injustice of the african americans. He had a dream that there would be equality in the USA for african americans. Shakespeare’s Sister by Woolf this essay is in the A Room of One’s Own this essay was in England published in 1929. This essay had to do with women’s injustice in society. How in this time that women were nothing at all. The Problem That Has No Name by Friedan this

was a part of a book called The Feminine Mystique. This book was published in New York in 1963. This talks about how injustice of the common housewife that they had no right to be have a job outside of their household duties. The injustice in our history is shown in these passages that either ethnicity or sexes that there is a common thing that they need to be equal with everyone.
In I Have a Dream the injustice of this is that Martin King was justice and equal rights that the african americans want from the United States because that is unfair to treat them like that.
In this quote he talks about how he has a dream one day that everyone will be the same, “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.”(pg 104) In Shakespeare’s Sister this passages talks about what if Shakespeare had a sister why and how would be different from being a male poet at this time. This quote from Shakespeare’s Sister describes that no matter how good a female writer you are you won’t get the respect as a male “Indeed, if women had no existence save in the fiction written by men, one would imagine her a person of the utmost importance; very various; heroic and mean; splendid and definitely beautiful…”(pg.4). Which is injustice to the women at this time because what if they had poems or books that were twice as good as males. It wouldn’t matter because it is a female’s name on the front cover it is going to be horrible. In justice is a horrible thing special in The Problem That Has No Name in this quote it will show you that women had no role outside of the household and if so other women were supposed to dislike you wanting to take on more “They were taught to pity the neurotic, unfeminine, unhappy women who wanted to be poets or physicists or
president.” (pg. 16).
Injustice will always be a problem because the world isn’t fair. The world will never be equal. Someone will want to take charge and then you have other people that feels like they are can’t be a CEO of a company. Injustice was worst before I was born reading the books that is over a couple of centuries ago is scary. Just think if we were back in the day household wife that wouldn’t leave her home hardly. How would you feel to be a caged bird looking out in the world of hopes and dreams. We should appreciate this world right now because it has came a long way. We still have injustice today with women’s salaries and more not just that. This world is hard to live in but we have came a long way. So we will see what the future has in store for the injustice and hopefully be solved with justice!
