精品文档Women in the Cage-Reading inspiration from The House on Mango StreetGood evening everyone, today I will share will you my inspiration from the six stories we have read this week. The title of my speech is women in the cage. My speech is mainly composed by four parts. Firstly, Im gonna explain the title of my speech. After that, I will compare womens status in modern day china with that in the old days. In the next part, Im gonna tap into the root course of gender problem and finally, I will say a few words about what should women do in order to improve their status in the modern society. Mango Street is full of women who are trapped either physically or mentally, for example our protagonist and the four women in her neighborhood. Esperanza herself is a tiny thing against many bricks, and sometimes she is too sad and too skinny to keep keeping. Mamacita knows only eight English words. Rafaela gets locked and drinks juice. Beautiful Sally is short of love and respect. Minerva can do nothing but write poem to vent her discontent. These womens experiences give us an insight into how low womens social statuses were at that time. They were helpless, insecure, depressed and caged either mentally or physically.Their fortune reminds me of the miserable lives of women in China in the old society. Previously, most family would feel unlucky if they got girls. There was endless housework, unfair competition and gender discrimination awaiting for them.Nowadays, things have improved a lot in our country. Most girls have the opportunities to share education resources, to compete fairly with male in working field. Females are playing a more and more important role in todays society, and some of them even occupy a leading position in their fields. Although gender discrimination is not that severe in todays society, it still exists.So, what is the root cause of womens misfortune? Have you ever thought about that problem? We owe it to the male dominated world and put the male on the opposite side. I believe thats too superficial and radical. In the speech made by Emma Watson named He for She, she points out that both men and women are being imprisoned by gender stereotype in which men should be strong and aggressive, while women should be fragile and submissive. The essential reason of this problem is that our society is not advanced and civilized enough to let both men and women to set their minds and bodies free. Therefore, I believe men and women should joint their hands to solve this problem.Finally, Id like to say a few words about what should women do in order to improve their status in the modern society. As Olivia says, we should possess the female power. It does not mean that women must be strong, nor they overpower men. Its the power that has been covered by social evolution in women. We facilitate ourselves with knowledge, strive for independent personality, fight against gender prejudices, realize our values and unlash our potentials. We are brave, confident, intelligent and rational. We dare to make breakthroughs and express ourselves. We dare to say no. No matter where we are in the world, we are a force that cant be ignored.In the end, my special thanks go t
