To my understanding, a liberated woman is a woman who pushes for equality not just for the group, but for the individual at home. I think that the liberated women would be important for women’s liberation as it expresses how a lot of the politics behind these things are not just present on a group scale, but affects the individual and their life at home. It pushes forward a lot of the values even further so that a lot of the problems that are fought for in the first place don’t continue to bleed into the household.

I believe that these two pieces show that the “personal is political” by representing issues that affect women as individuals rather than as a group, and explaining how they are tied to society and patriarchy. The articles do a great job of breaking this down and showing us exactly where these things come from, and how it is not just things that have to do with women or are women’s problems alone. Bringing this issues to light helps us show people that politics end up affecting women in even the most personal ways.
