This separation becomes increasingly clear when the white community shuns Atticus for his support of the black community and their equality‚ “Now far be it from me to say who‚ but some of ‘em in this town thought they were doing the right thing

Gender Inequality In 1960‚ a woman made sixty cents for every man’s dollar. In 2010‚ that woman makes but twenty cents more than she would have fifty years ago for doing the same exact job a man does (“Me Too Movement has Shaken the Workplace to its Core”).

While I understand that this inequality is still a huge problem‚ I can’t help but wonder what Rita Dove was thinking when she was writing “Daystar”. It

Atwood’s speech‚ delivered to a group of well-read women in 1994‚ highlights how gender inequality is prevalent due to certain social delimitations of that time due to the ongoing inaccurate representation of women in literature. Throughout her speech‚ she highlights the polarising dichotomy that the society‚ at that time‚ has placed on women as either being “very very good” or “horrid.” The intertextual reference to a nursery rhyme emphasised through the binary opposites strengthens her argument
