Readers Response #20


In the article, Composing as a Woman, Elizabeth Flynn explores the concept of the role gender plays in writing. She argues that most of the writing that is acknowledged and given credit for comes from men. She explains the intellectual difference between men and women.

I can relate this article to Gee’s article with the concept of identity. Also, many other articles we have read about how identity shapes your writing. It’s very relative to the concept that Flynn is trying to explore but also with a different topic.

Before You Read:

1. I have never seen much gender role difference when it comes to the public school I have attended all of my life. I believe that the teachers in my school treated both genders the same.

 QD:

1. I believe that Flynn has acknowledged the fact that most of the time a woman’s input or opinion, even as a scholar is often ignored and not seen as a figure of authority when it comes to writing. This relates to the marginalization of other minorities because the diversity of opinion is what valued in today’s world.

I enjoyed reading the article. It didn’t relate to other articles that we have explored too much, it was nice to cover different topics. I also thought the topic was interesting.
