Those amazing women writers
I decided to do this topic because so much information I found online connecting to it surprised me so much. I have seen that much of the research papers common opinion was ”Women writers can never write as excellent as men.” Is that true? In my opinion, these thoughts are too narrow and bigoted. The people who have this opinion probably already have their own preconceived notions before they’ve made their judgment. I know there are more men writers than female writers, but you can’t deny that there are a lot of excellent female writers in this world too. Some of them are very famous and the fictions they created are so popular nowadays. They affect countless reader’s minds and how they chosed their next books. For example, Agatha Christie’s << Murder on the Orient Express>> and Charlotte Brontë’s << Jane Eyre>>, are better than most books which are in the same genre. We can never ignore what women writers did to help build the history of world literature and their amazing fictions. They have their own advantages and disadvantages.
One big positive quality that female writers have is that they can describe their character’s feelings and minds very well. Most of the time they can express feelings with their pens far better than men. Kegan Gardines believes that these differences in experience will be apparent in the writing. She gives examples of the characteristics of women’s writing that differ from men’s writing: “recurrent imagery and distinctive concept … for example, imagery of confinement and unsentimental descriptions of child care” (178). As for men’s writing, “male fiction often splits characters into disjunct fragments, while female characters in novels by women tend to dissolve and merge into each other (185). Finally, she states, “female identity is a process” (179). Gender influences development of the personality, which in turn, influences writing. Maybe men don't have special feelings about that ability, but most women do. For most of my female friends who like romantic books, their favorite writers must be women because they really did a great job on writing romantic stories. They can design the story really complexly and the details are always intricate. This might make their books mores appealing to reader’s attraction very well
I think most female writers really do a great job on passing the feeling to their audience and controlling their emotions through the books. This point has been proved by many language linguists. “Lange, Cheryl found in her research that male authors have not written many novels exclusively from a woman’s viewpoint. Some reasons may be that men are really incapable of writing from the female perspective or that they fear that they will be met with too much skepticism. Also, Argamon, Shlomo believes that some phenomena might be generalized to a number of "universals" including that females are more attentive to the affective function of conversation and more prone to use linguisticdevices that solidify relationships.(2) For a lot of readers when they read the story they can feel that they really connect with the characters. The writer’s excellent ability brings the readers into their story 100%. Also, more and more female written novels have been adapted to TV shows and movies since they can connect with audience’s feeling and control their emotional very well based on their excellent story. Most of these movies and TV shows are very popular. The main reason that most TV shows based on female’s story are so popular is the intricate relationship between the characters and the mystery of some main characters life. Such as Stephanie Meyer <<Twilight>>, J. K. Rowling’s <<Harry Potter’>> Charlaine Harris’s ‘<<The Southern Vampire Mysteries>> and L.J Smith’s <<The Vampire Daries>> are very popular and highly praised all over the world! A new study for the British Film Festival finds that “UK independent films were more likely to be profitable if they had women in key backstage roles, yet the gender is still under-represented. Employing women in writing and directing roles makes business sense, yet is still relatively rare, suggests a new study by the BFI. The report, Succes de plume? Female Screenwriters and Directors of UK Films 2010-2012, indicates 30% of the most successful and profitable independent British films of the period had a female screenwriter and/or director.”

“The disproportion comes from a comparison of the percentage of female directors (11%) and writers (16%) of all UK indies in that period with the equivalent stats for the top 20 films at the box office. Of these, 18% had a female director and 37% a female writer. The research found that women who had made inroads in the field were more likely to have credits on platforms other than just cinema, and also highlighted the crucial role of key commissioners such as Christine Langan at BBC Films, and Tessa Ross and Katherine Butler at Film4. Said Maria Miller, culture minister and minister for women and equalities: “We can look forward to a future for film where the talent of women can shine.” As I said, a good story must be based on two main factors, one is a lot of attractive details, another is good characters that the audience can relate with. But why are so many voice saying male writers are better than female’s writers? If we take a look at All Nobel Prizes in Literature, according to nobelprize.org there are only 13 women winners but 99 men winners in the literature category. But if you pay attention to these numbers, you could figure out there have been 8 female winners in the past 25 years. This means females are doing better and better now days. It also means female writers’ hard work in the development of literature has been admitted by the public and Professionals.
One main reason why women authors couldn’t do so excellent in writing in the past is because of history. Women had been treated unfair all over the world in the past. They always have much lower social level. Another reason that female writers are not as recognized as male writers is because women were not allowed to get good education in the past several centuries. That’s against Social mainstream values. It was not allowed by the society in most countries back in that time. Charlotte Brontë, the author of ‘Jane Eyre’ has two sisters, Anne Brontë and Emily Jane Bronte. They are all very famous excellent authors. Emily Jane Bronte is the writer of <<Wuthering Heights.>> Today, we think that's such a great thing to be proud of, but back in that time even though England was the strongest developed country in the world, women still had a very low society position, it was not allowed for women to be an author. So Charlotte Bronte had to use a pseudonym to publish her book <<Jane Eyre>> to protect herself and avoid troubles from the society. Women are still in the subordinate and dependent status. Women's main goal in life was to marry into a wealthy family, professional women's only option is being a good wife and mother. Men thought women having a job was a masculine trait and shouldn’t be perused by women. The works of Charlotte Bronte and her sisters showed just how difficult it was to be a female writer then.. In Jenifer Madigan’s ne research about this situation, she figured out that “at the close of the 18th century, most boys in colonial America attended “dame schools,” defined as a school influenced by the English model of home instruction for small groups of children usually led by a woman in her home (Madigan, 2009). These schools in New England prepared boys for town schools (Madigan, 2009). Girls also attended dame schools, but only a small percentage attended town schools or academies. Madigan cites Riordan by suggesting that Educational institutions beyond the dame schools and single gender town schools were private, segregated by sex, and exclusive to wealthy families.”(1) And << Jane Eyre>>, is written in this context. So, it’s easy to think that how hard it was for a female to be a writer in past several centuries, not to mention famous excellent writers. That’s much harder than males. I believe if women were treated as fair as males, they would have done much better. In Chu-yao, Chiu’s one research, she discovered that in her teaching experiences, “it is interesting to find that female students write better than male students in English writing. Chiu also references Lee who supports the fact that boys and girls perform differently in class. He found that while boys talk, girls write. Each of the girls in his study wrote more and wrote better than any of the boys. Besides, the literature dealing with language function and brain also arouses my interests in conducting this study. Chiu references Dingwall who suggested hat men and women tend to function differently in their brain. He concluded that language function may be more organized in women. Based on these if women got treated fair as guys and get better education they could do much better.
I still believe that women can do as good as men do when it comes to writing, maybe even better. There are more and more women writers who are becoming famous and providing this world with their amazing stories. I think this means it is becoming fairer for women and they can have a chance to be more successful. Women have many advantages that men simply don’t have, for example women’s innate ability to make characters connectable on a more intense emotional level. In conclusion due to the many benefactors that make women’s writing style so unique and captivating, I feel there is a bright future ahead for women and the creative industry in general.
