Norman Mailer's View of Women Writers

Look up the words you don't know. What is his view? What are his prejudices and stereotypes? Do you agree with any of his ideas? What ideas do you disagree with?

-His view is hatred toward women writers. Says that a good women writer will be one who tells the tale of a call girl. He believes a women is a whore and is nothing but a supplement to a "man's needs" I don't agree with his ideas, but he does make a statement. All girls aren't whores, but some are and he focuses mainly on them. I disagree with the fact he can't finish a women's writing, he just has hatred.

2. Compare/Contrast these female characters with the female characters from the

literature weʼve read.

Comparism:

Most women are seen as emotionally weak, and some of them live life as if they made a crappy decision. None of the women die, for they press on and live with depression.

Contrast:

Not all women contemplate suicide
