 WOMEN'S AND GENDER ISSUES Rated:
13+
 Poems regarding women and women’s issues, often with cross-cultural perspective.
by: Khalish View mcgupta44's Portfolio.  [Offline / Private]Email User: mcgupta44 [Offline / Private] Avg Rating: (28)  
This is a collection of poems about women and women’s issues—how they suffer and are misunderstood in a men’s world. Women’s oppression is sustained through their disempowerment—illiteracy, physical injury [battery; repeated pregnancies and high maternal mortality; clitoral mutilation], cultural conditioning [veil; bride burning; sex-selective conception; female foeticide and infanticide] and legal inequality [in Islamic societies--triple talaq or triple verbal divorce; four mail witnesses to the act of rape needed to legally prove the charge against the accused; two female witnesses weighted as one against a male witness; denial of voting rights to women].

It is a pity that even in the supposedly emancipated West, women have been reduced to sex symbols and even culturally brainwashed to view such symbolism as the ultimate aim of their lives!

My other poems on women's issues are in the folder " WOMEN'S ISSUES IN GENERAL--poems.

REQUEST--When you review a poem from this book, kindly name the poem in your review. Otherwise, I would not be able to know which poem is being reviewed because the review will be shown as being for the whole book as such.
