Hw Stick it to the Man!

A online dictionary would define patriarchy as the structure of society on the basis of family units, in which fathers have primary responsibilty for the welfare of these units, such as family. Unfortunately, for Virginia Woolf she is apsolutley correct in her assumption that England is a patriarchal society. Til this day nothing has changed, although the king no longer has power, the parliament does and it consists of for the most part men. America is no different, as Brenden said in his blog Hilary Clinton is a woman and running for president, but she hardly gets the media attention of say New yorks golden boy guiliani. Woolf mentions the fact that women are the most documented animal in the world, and contributes the fact that men are not documented to the fact that women are not interested. This in a simple way of thinking is merely just a delusion. She believes that women can't get published simply for the fact that they are women. Although, there is truth in this it seems to be more of a defeatist atitude. She imagines these authors to be ugly and lonely, but since she is famous author why not write her own book about women? Take the power into her own hands? Make a spot for women in a world of women repression! Fight the man! Stick it to the power! Survival of the fittest! Viva revultion! Now, this book you could say is all those things; making people think for themselves, but people can't thing for themselves just ask Al Gore.
