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.

If you read our history books, inequality is implicitly implied since the exploits of men are most often depicted while women are being sidelined or less mentioned. The latter have proven many times that they can be catalysts in the reformation of the society. From the start of agriculture to influencing the political affairs of the world, they have vast contributions which are sadly left below the footnotes of our textbooks.

In the field of science, they were proven to be the precursors of modern to advance way of thinking. We owe radioactivity by Marie Curie, Ada Lovelace for the birth of computer programming, Rosalind Franklin for discovering the shape of our DNA, Florence Nightingale for her nursing skills and Boudicca for leading the British forces against Roman invasion. These achievements are not miniscule to think about, and there are still many to mention here.

Another joke circulating in small places is the idea that women can do everything that men can do, while the latter cannot do most of what the latter can. However, when asked if twenty of them can urinate in a urinal at the same time, the former are left dumb founded. Yet there is a meaning to this story that shows both should complement with each other.

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.

Give what is due to them so as to start having an altruistic kind of relationship towards them. Let us try to forgo the traditional way of looking at them, but rather be enlightened that they can contribute to our society as well. They are just as frail but firm as we are, so we are not so different from each other then.
