The Story of my Paper

At the beginning, when I was wondering what to write about, I looked at the many posts I made pertaining to family. I wrote about my feelings on the lack of discussion on those who choose motherhood, parental relationships and many other things that talked about my love and emotions for my own family (like the poem my grandpa read me or poetry my grandma wrote). As I looked more into, I realized that what literature has done is making me look deeper into my emotions of a woman's position and responsibilities. Certain texts were able to reach to me more than others, and I began to think about the influence literature had in the feminist movement, and how it influences me as a girl in the 21st century.
I started by asking some friends on Facebook about how the Feminist movement has changed our society within the past 50 years. I got very conservative answers, considering many of my friends are conservative. I also got responses from those who are in their 50's and 60's and saw their perspectives on how the world changed. I feel like literature had to be a prominent influence in this change.
Doctor Burton asked us to rephrase our thesis five times in hopes that we would create the best thesis. I was frustrated with the assignment because my computer had died that weekend, but I was amazed at how it began to make me think of the differences between feminist literature in the Victorian age compared to our modern world.
After all of this, I went back to Facebook, where I had a conversation with my sister-in-law. This was able to help me get a stronger perspective on my topic. I began to create a better idea with Victorian and modern literature and looked deeper into the subgenres that feminism goes into. I knew that to be able to understand this set of literature, I would have to understand the authors, which is what my literary reference did for me. I was able to study more about the authors.
I wrote my Preliminary Draft which got me on the right track to write My Final Paper! Now, I am left with a better understanding of a subgenre of feminism and how it affects me now.
