Unknown Truth About Black Women Self Improvement

By Cynthia Cook


Women empowerment is often described as the capacity to assert their rights in a daily basis to accomplish tasks where were denied access before. Nowadays, we can surmise that not all of them have enjoyed it as there are still places today that some are still marginalized in their society. It is crucial therefore that these persons have access to media, especially on black women self improvement literatures because they are often seen as bearing the brunt of inequality, violence and depreciation.

If having knowledge gains you the power to control and reach your destiny, the same can be said to women who still suffer at the hands of a male dominated society. Most of us still perceive them to be second class citizens, who should only stay home and when married must take care of the children and their husbands. In this kind of mindset, they often experienced getting less respect, inability to make their own decisions and have a fatalistic view on their own lives.

Our world would never be the same without leading women figures in our rich history. While men hunted for food during the new stone age, a Mesopotamian woman cast the first wheat grains into the wet soil which will later catapult them to the age of agriculture. Strong known figures, such as Joan of Arc, Elizabeth I, Margaret Thatcher and Elizabeth II have helped shaped the destiny of their own countries.

To think that women are stronger than men could be an overstatement of some sort. A kind of joke says that if you asked men to carry a new born child, he would likely last for just a few minutes. This task could be done by a woman for a couple of hours.

That women cannot do as much as men can is a topic of a story that made rounds in beer taverns. It goes that they cannot urinate on the same receptacle at the same time, of which men can easily do. However, this story should be taken as a joke and not as derogatory as it may seem, since it just reflects that both sides should understand each other anyway.

We will never achieve a peaceful place is we fail to realize that we need each other to exist in this present world. It is true that we have limited resources, but we can survive if we share what our planet has offered us. Surely, a maternal care would be much needed so that everybody can had access to them.

Of course, these books are not meant to belittle the opposite sex, but rather to make us realize that the medieval thinking about women is a thing of the past. As they say, we cannot move forward towards change if we always place one foot backwards. In fact, we can do more when they work together as a team to make the world a better place for all people.

More than anything else, these pieces of literature will help us realize that it takes two sides to work together. Yet it is an observable reality that inequality still exists, especially in rural areas where traditional values and norms still prevail. Most likely factor also is that such places have limited access to media which could have educated a lot of people.

Let us start to respect our women by giving what is due to them. Let us be educated enough to realize that we are not in the old times when they are relegated to house work. They have the potential to change the world, in as much as men do.
