Many readers may note that this writer has used a page from the book Modern Woman and How to Manage Her by Walter Gallichan, 1910.
Notice how the writer has allowed the reader to see the derogatory comments about women: St. Augustine asking why women were born at all, Luther advocating withholding culture from women, and women having the fierceness of dragons and the snake’s cunning, among many other negative comments.
The writer subverts all of these comments by locating and emphasizing her own descriptions of women on the path.
The writer uses her own words and claims her own identity and her own place in history and culture.
