I strongly agree with one of the states Opera stated. She stated that a girl born in the United States is the luckiest.

Gender discrimination is prevalent in many aspects throughout the world. It is commonly identified in the workforce‚ education‚ sports‚ religions‚ and even in other cultures.

“Daystar” in a collection of poems in 1985. It was the year that caught my attention.

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
