I thoroughly enjoyed reading the essay “I Want a Wife” by Judy Brady. I thought it was so interesting how she shared her feelings on a woman’s role in society by writing her thoughts in the form of a sarcastic and yet compelling essay. She was able to make her feelings very clear without writing in a format similar to a research paper‚ listing off the unfairnesses of the lives of housewives. Also‚ I felt that the style in which she wrote this essay was especially good because she was able to list

Wife of Bath – Analytical Essay In the Medieval times‚ women were subjected to men in every aspect of life and would have much difficulty striving to advance to a higher status a male could reach.

Brady skillfully uses clear arguments‚ repetition of key words‚ stylish
