"Sometimes your Worst Enemy is yourself"

Throughout the women in literature unit, there was a re-occurring theme of knowing oneself. All of the women in this literature unit had to make choices and decisions that required a lot of contemplating and thinking. All of these characters, such as Edna and Nora had to make decisions that effect the rest of their lives. Often, they hesitated because they thought too much about it. They let their inner thoughts and fears get to the best of them. However, in the end the women chose to do what they thought would be the best for them, regardless of what society believes is right. We all go through this day by day and we fight the power of society and we fight the demons that lie within us. Often, we can give advice to others, but when the same situation occurs to us, we have a hard time taking our own advice. I think that we all need to find a little bit of Nora and Edna within ourselves and stand up to what society is trying to get unto conform to. Seeing girls like Jennifer Aniston and Demi Lavato fight back to society on what women/girls should look, compared to what "society" thinks they should look like. I think more women need topay attention to what is going on in society and teach the hong girls that they are good enough.
