Identify the thesis and central claims in the article/chapter.
1. Their thesis is about why it's hard for women writers to change and break away from the categories of "women" that this patriarchal society has brought up.

Give an example of the way the author supports these claims.
2. An author who wrote about the split between a modestly compliant femininity and the energies of a rebellious, wild imagination ended up denying that her work did not mean that which tells us that there was pressure at that time not to express those ideas.

She also notes that as they were writing the book it began to appear to her that motherhood and maternity was the center of their project and that it was hard to resist the patriarchal society and find other ways to be creative. She also voices that their hopes were that feminist critic would be seen as more than "talking heads" but rather public intellectuals and that their work in the area would transform and encourage others to step forward and do the same.

Evaluate the argument. Is it strong? Does it use strong evidence? How does it relate with other scholarship we have read in this class?
3. Although it did mention some primary sources and their interpretations of it to back up their argument, their way of writing just made it hard to understand. One would actually have to use a dictionary or look up what they were metaphorically speaking about.
