Mr. Mailer
Dear Mr. Mailer,
Do you realize the utmost importance of the role of the female within today’s society and household? It’s because of our gender that we are a degraded populous within our communities. It is because of men like you, with the constant and numerous prejudices against women like us, that we continue to be witnessed as a lower source. We have much more than brains and character, and we are more than just creatures with models of mind that turn this way and that in response to the orders of male men of our nation and world. When you discuss how a woman’s novel would not captivate your interest unless it be of some sort of whore’s account of her life, you do not realize the strenous efforts we must go through to push forth our “intellectual freedom” by producing material things. Only through the means of producing books, to discuss our importance and our educational abilities, and other goods such as clothing and our capability of doing as much as men could in the workforce, could we ever dream of our society’s upbringing and eventual acceptance. You claim that we are always fated to die as a population and or community, and that from the start that we are negatively perceived by the male populous. But indeed, you are falsely acuted, for women, being inventors and creators of poetry, we always and continuously will live. Great poets do not die.”They are continuing presences; they need only the opportunity to walk among us in the flesh. This opportunity, as I think, it is now coming within your power to give her.”
She is a writer ?

The Hours
1. Describe the three female characters in great detail? What do they have in common?
How do they differ? How does their era influence who they are?
Virginia Woolf
The author of the book who was jealous of her sister because she has the children. Her family members didn’t realize what she really need according to Virgina. To her , death is the way to escape the miserable live, so it assists people in creating a new fresh one as living in heaven.
Lora:
She is depressed and find a way to end it by killing themselves but later she determine to kill someone else. She decided to live because of her son ‘s love. In brief she has to hide her true feeling and desperately to let it out. In addition to that, she abandoned her family to find her true happiness. When a person “has no choice”, she nor he should regret.
Miss Delaware:
She was enduring to see her beloved Richard suffering AIDS. Her relationship with Richard was somehow mysterious on the account that they didn’t live together.Just like Woolf and Lora, Delaware too tends to bear the miserable life and not regret it
They are interested in literature as the “devise” to avoid reality. Duel to the fact that men tend to control their life, they start to love each other ,not it the sexual way. Thus they are all controlled like a puppet in their life.
2.Compare/Contrast these female characters with the female characters from the
literature weʼve read.
First of all, the women intend to have a happy life through many method because the society is dominated by men; hence, the women are controlled like a toy. The three women in The hour choose their unhappy lives by escape the reality through literature or sometime attempt to end their lives. In the other word , they are independent from their husband. As opposed to this, the female characters from the literature we’ve read mostly depend on the men . For instance, Abigael in the Crucible and Mattie in Ethan Frome need the men to benefit their lives.
