What I consider a liberated woman to be, is a woman who breaks away from the stereotypical boundaries placed by society and fights against society. A liberated woman fights for women’s equality and breaks the repetitive cycle placed on us throughout history. This term is important because in the past, if women even dared to stand up to their husband or any man, they were crazy and could be killed. This is important in Freud’s analysis on what makes a woman “frigid”, which is any time a woman reacted in a way men didn’t like (Koedt). “It was Freud’s feelings about women’s secondary and inferior relationship to men that formed the basis for his theories on female sexuality” (Koedt). In all honesty, how would a man come up with conclusions about a woman. No one knows better about themselves than themselves. This is why liberated women are important. A liberated woman is important in the women’s liberation movement, because that movement is completely made up of liberated women. These women are the ones who are fighting against their stereotypes and the misogyny placed on us by men. They fight for those women who aren’t capable of fighting themselves. They take the backlash from society as soon as they step a foot out the door in contrast to what society expects of them. These pieces show “the personal is political” because most times the Women’s Liberation Movement isn’t seen as political. In Pat Mainardi’s “The Politics of Housework”, they wrote, “I am only interested in how I am oppressed, not how I oppress others.” This quote was merely focusing on why most men and people don’t see women’s liberation as a political movement. They don’t want situations in which they are seen as the bad guy, they only want to blame others as being the bad guy and therefore, this movement doesn’t count towards it. Every day is a battle, whether you are a woman, a person of color, and in the LGBT community. Throughout the years, women had to hide away in order to respect a man’s ego, not all men, but the majority. I think it’s important for everyone to be educated on what’s happening in the system, that way we can learn how to at least improve it even though certain changes aren’t expected. I learned a lot while reading these texts and I hope to learn more, they were very interesting.
