The Predicaments of Pacific Women: A Review on their Writings
Abstract
EVERY single woman dreams of having a luxurious life. Women wish to acquire the best education for them, prominent jobs and live as they wish.
There are many women who are not destined to be a part of these dreams and desires. A very serious and sensitive issue often ignored by all. For many centuries people have been expressing their views and opinions on certain issues with the help of literature. Literature acted as a medium of expression of thoughts and ideas which writers wanted others to gain insight of. The literary world was there to stay but there were many stereotyped ideas which the males had about the females. Women writers had been excluded from the literary canon and have been misinterpreted in the works of male writers.
