    Since 2009, the organization VIDA : Women in Literary Arts has Sought to bring balance to the representation of female authors in the literary world . As revealed by the 2010 controversy begun by author Jodi Picoult gushing over the treatment of Jonathan Franzen 's Freedom received in the New York Times , the disparity , and the bias , are real . 

    Author Jennifer Weiner chimed in as well , writing : " when a man writes about family and feelings , it's literature with a capital L , but when a woman considers the same topics , it's romance , or a beach book . " This fracas - involving a number of mostly New York literati and the death of the term " chick lit " - did not split evenly down gender lines . Both male and female writers lined up to defend Franzen and Picoult , but it did open up legitimate questions about the old ( mostly white ) boys club claims that the upper echelons of literary fiction and the brass ring that is the New York Times book review .

    Sci Fi Woman

    Perhaps many men who consider women as weak, helpless, and whiny. Perception as it used to be really, women now have to brave a strong woman, strong and independent, without having to leave their duties and obligations as a mother, a wife for her husband and children.
     

    Many of us look strong and brave woman,
    who is always faithful to accompany, accepting whatever situation despite her hurt husband. So is the women who are separated (divorce) from her husband. They are able to live independently to feed their children. Woman is a person who always steadfast, patient and able to forgive any mistakes that have been done for him.


    Perhaps there are many strong women, strong and other independent media that is not exposed because they are not public figures. I have great respect and applaud them. Hopefully you or your wife are able to be a woman who has sincerity, strong, tough and independent.
