The article “The Approaching Obsolescence of Housework: A Working-Class Perspective” by Angela Davis addresses on the liberation of women from their socially regarded functions in society. She explores the idea of capitalist critique and feminism, and she argues that housework is annoying as much as it is disempowering women in the society and women need to be released and discharged from these duties (Angela, 2011). Angela's unique perspective on women's roles as housewives and history of house works gives us a clear perspective on the plight of women in society. The article shares a different perspective to the traditional view of women as housewives in the community. Instead of judging women on their femininity and history of their work

For the first time in 130 years, more young adults are living with parents until their mid thirties. Part of this could be an emotional attachment keeping them from leaving home because after they leave, everything will change. However, many are losing their real sense of home and are just using it as a place where they can avoid paying bills and many other responsibilities. Many young adults now do not understand the extensive sacrifice it is to leave their one and only home. In “On Going Home,” Joan Didion expounds on her struggle to connect with her current house, in a nostalgic and resigned tone, and vivid imagery, symbolism, and comparison Didion expresses the regret she feels every time she remembers she left her “home”.

The paper presents the current situation of the people of Kashmir. It is the study ofShahnaz Bashir’s- The Half Mother. The novels satirize the political and bureaucratic system, India’s tyrannical role and the Military oppression in Kashmir. The title of the paper is The Sufferings and Struggle of a Mother (Haleema) for her Disappeared Son (Imran) - In Shahnaz Bashir’s- Half Mother. Kashmir is a very beautiful place and was a princely state up to 1953 with its own prime minister.

She tells of the feeling of shame which emerge from not even having a bed throughout her entire childhood (3). She does reassure that she has the security of her family being the only constant in her life, “Close and sweet and loving. Lucky me on my small pallet on the floor” (4). Travelling every summer “We never knew from one day to the next, from one year to the next, where we would go or live or what we would do” (127), her security of her family seemed always there “Having lived in other people’s houses, barns, and in migrant housing in various stages of decay and repair, it felt as though we could make a home out of anything” (99).

The article “Catharine Beecher and Charlotte Perking Gilman: Architects of female power” attempts to give readers two different perspectives of a woman’s role in her home and how this affects her presence in society. Readers are given a multitude of supporting facts from both women’s interpretations on the topic. This fact, in certain circumstances, proves to be not only a strength of the article but also a weakness. Regardless of how each woman author interpreted these ideals, the simple fact remains clear that each assumed the role and presence of a woman becomes

The poem “The Mother” written by Gwendolyn Brooks in 1945, is a poem that focuses on the immeasurable losses a woman experiences after having an abortion. The poems free verse style has a mournful tone that captures the vast emotions a mother goes through trying to cope with the choices she has made. The author writes each stanza of the poem using a different style, and point of view, with subtle metaphors to express the speaker’s deep struggle as she copes with her abortions. The poem begins with, “Abortions will not let you forget” (Brooks 1), the first line of the poem uses personification to capture your attention. The title of the poem has the reader’s mindset centered around motherhood, but the author’s expertise with the opening line, immediately shifts your view to the actual theme of the poem. In this first line the speaker is telling you directly, you will never forget having an abortion. Brooks utilizes the speaker of the poem, to convey that this mother is pleading for forgiveness from the children she chose not to have.

At the end of the book, as she grows up and leaves to make a better place for herself, she vows to return to this home one day and help the community she was and always will be a part of (Cisneros 110).

Among the wonders of the dazzling world portrayed in The Arabian Nights: Their Best-Known Tales by Kate Douglas Wiggin and Nora A. Smith are genies, spectacular palaces, elephants, a singing tree, valleys of diamonds, and poisonous serpents. While The Red Tent by Anita Diamant has some of its own wonders, such as a reverence for religious tradition, overall it describes a harsh way of life. The constant struggles, dangers and toil of Dinah’s life, and those of her mother and aunts, overshadow the few times of joyfulness and celebration. Women in The Red Tent are expected to marry well and produce children. Their choices and opportunities are limited.

As I read the section of Her Home in A Woman After God’s Own Heart, I could not stop getting excited for my future. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to grow up and have my own house, my own family and my own choices for those things. As I keep growing up in age, but also in maturity I realize that a home is not only a place, but it is also the people. In less than five years I want to be married and build a tiny house. I want to be the architect for my own house, and I have all these great ideas of how I want it. Yet as I read, I realize it is not all about how the house looks. It is about the people, the atmosphere and the way they feel when they walk through those doors. I would like my family to feel calm and at peace there.

This role, however, can have a sexist undertone. These women should be given praise for all their efforts, but not expected to stay in the house and do this as a part of their "natural role"(45). Their expected role is thought of as an effortless activity which, in contrast, is the exact opposite. I appreciate Hooks pointing out these women's efforts because women are often not praised for efforts they make that society expects of them. Black women created this safe house of resistance to help keep their heads and more importantly, their pride. Hooks also describes how much effort her mother put into their household to create a safe environment, while being resistant to the cruelness of society and white culture. It was hard and took a lot of effort, but they had a solid ground to live on. Despite all the work put into the home place, black women’s efforts are diminished. This is partially due to the sexist expectations. Continuing these sexist norms diminishes the home

Cold, air-conditioned air that I once took for granted blows throughout my garnished bedroom as I write this essay. The new Ariana Grande song plays on full blast as the usual scents and aromas of my mom’s Iranian cooking sneaks under the crevice of my tightly shut door to entice and remind me of my childhood memories. This modest, humble house where I have grown accustomed to the bizarre Kurdish culture of my parents is home to the language skills, artistic vision, and most importantly the influence of my Middle Eastern heritage.

Central Idea: A home maker plays a vital role in the family setting and in society.
