Adrienne Rich's "When We Dead Awaken: Writing As Re-Vision"
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Carrying forth the burden that has plagued women for centuries, Adrienne Rich's When We Dead Awaken: Writing As Re-Vision attempts to alter the historical concept of patriarchy within the boundaries of contemporary society. In the author's opinion, the age-old gender molds are ripe for revamping and bringing into the present frame of consciousness. No longer are women to be made to suffer through an oppressive existence simply because it is the right thing to do; rather, Rich paints a new picture of a strong, intelligent woman who will not be coerced by the irrational expectations of an oppressive, patriarchal society.

Adrienne Rich: How the Male Influences in Her Life Affected Her Writing
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the male influences in the life of Adrienne Rich affected her writing. The work of Adrienne Rich is considered some of the most meaningful in feminist literature as it relates to her own intimate struggles for freedom from the male oppression within her life. Born into a household where her father was the dominant figure and her mother gave up her own career for her family, Rich recounts the cultural and oppressive issues she felt while living under her parent’s roof. Later in her own marriage which was a convention expected of women in the 1950s, and in which she had three sons in the first five years, Rich writes of the dissatisfaction of marriage and her need to change her situation. Luckily, Rich and her husband became involved in the civil and women’s rights movements in the 1960s which gave Rich the confidence to begin the liberation of herself and the liberation of her poetry. Her original works which promoted women to become “disloyal” to that which was expected of them were heavily criticized which led to Rich’s further writings of the empowerment of women. Rich’s works reflect heavily the oppression she felt in her own life from men but also deal with the oppression she has seen on a global basis and her works are not only considered important in regards to women’s issues but in relation to cultural and social issues as well. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
