What I gathered from pat Mainardi a Liberated woman is a woman who doesn’t live by societal restraints, a woman who is open with her sexuality, one who isn’t the typical all-American housewife. They do as they please. Regardless of the male opinion. They’ll work male-dominated jobs. Liberated women are important for women’s liberation because they are showing other women who may not have the confidence in themselves to live that way, that it’s okay. They change what’s expected of women, they allow men to see us as more than what we are perceived stereotypically. Although i saw both political takes in both readings, I personally found more in The Myth of Vaginal orgasm, Anne explains how many men don’t know how to please a woman, which goes into women-only really being there for a man’s pleasure, as they aren’t given much thought to. The political view in Mainardis is how the woman’s place is seen to be in the house, doing chores, the woman being lowered to just a maid.

Hi Rachel ,
I agree with your perspective that you wrote. I also believe a liberated woman is one who goes against all social norms. A liberated woman would go against a man’s opinion as well even the one of her husband. Being open about your sexual life in general and taking control of it as well is also being liberated.
Hey Rachel, liberated women are the opposite of what America has painted women to be for years. Im glad that generation z women are making it a priority to become liberated and not abide by a mans perception of us. “The myth of vaginal orgasm” was interesting because it speaks on how women don’t know how to be open in their sex life in fear of judgement by their partner. Many lie about their orgasms because they don’t want to be seen as not good enough by a man.
Yes I also believe a liberated woman goes against the norms society has and also, doesn’t care for male opinion
Hi Rachel,
A liberated woman is a feminist who advocates for greater gender equality. A wave of liberated women challenged sexism in culture and politics in the 1960s, attempting to alter expectations of what women should be inside and outside the house.
Hi Rachel,
“The myth of vaginal orgasm” was very interesting because a lot of women experienced unsatisfaction but leave a man feeling he did a great job.
