Since most men have mothers to cater to their every need up until the time they move out, they have outrageous expectations of how a wife should act and what duties she should perform. Judy Brady, who is a wife and mother, wrote the essay "I Want a Wife" to explain what men want in a wife. She discusses the different skills a wife needs to possess for a man to consider her a good wife. Brady’s use of repetition, constant sarcasm, and defensive word choice throughout her essay makes it successful by relating to women’s frustrations of being a wife.
This is sickening because females are humans just like men. This part of her essay begins to weaken because Brady diminishes the pride from the “wife” and treats it in an inhuman matter. To replace a human such as having a divorce requires paperwork and the partner doesn 't deserve a kick to the curb because they have imperfections or seem to not have all the qualities a wife should have. It 's the imperfection in our personalities that makes the human population unique and to treat it as something to be taken for granted is not right. It 's the norms of society that grows us up to think this narrow minded way in believing that women particularly wives are mandated to always cook, clean and go to work, it 's everyone 's responsibility to keep a home clean, men and women. To be pressure to grow up and follow the rules society has been brought up retrains the freedom of individuals to be
As a woman she wants to be able to support herself and not depend on others, but she cannot because she has to do all the duties that are required as a wife and does not have time: “I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically independent, support myself, and if need be, support those dependent upon me” (229). Women were discriminated against, and their needs were not thought to be as critical as men’s and children’s. The wife is expected to take care of everyone else's needs before her own. Wives were supposed to get groceries, make meals, arrange schedules, do the shopping, and clean. Wives do not have time to do what they want and take care of their own needs because of those duties. Eventually, these duties turn into burdens to wives. Not only were wives expected to fulfill all those duties, but some were expected to have and keep another job outside the house to help provide for their families. As a man, they expected the wife to plan and arrange every fraction of the men's life: "I want a wife who will take care of the details of my social life. When I meet people at school that I like and want to entertain, I want a wife who will have
In the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries, the idea of patriarchy ruled the many societies all over the world. Particularly in Britain, its “overarching patriarchal model” (Marsh) had “reserved power and privilege for men” (Marsh). Also during this time period feminist literature began to arise and was invaded by, “the complex social, ethical, and economic roots of sexual politics… as testimony to gender bias and the double standard” (“Sexual Politics and Feminist Literature”). In Jane Austen’s writing, readers have been aware of her constant themes of female independence and gender equality. However, many have criticized the author for the fact that many of her “individualistic” female characters have ended up

...zation leads to Gogol’s discovery of his true identity. Although he has always felt that he had to find a new, more American and ordinary identity, he has come to terms that he will always be the Gogol that is close to his family. While Gogol is coming to this understanding, Ashima has finally broken free from relying on her family, and has become “without borders” (176). No longer the isolated, unsure Bengali she was when arriving in Cambridge, Ashima has been liberated from dependent and powerless to self empowering. The passing of her husband has forced her to go through her life as a more self-reliant person, while at the same time she is able to maintain her daily Indian customs. This break-through is the final point of Ashima’s evolution into personal freedom and independency.
