Unknown Truth About Black Women Self Improvement

By Cynthia Cook


Women empowerment is often described as the capacity to assert their rights in a daily basis to accomplish tasks where were denied access before. Nowadays, we can surmise that not all of them have enjoyed it as there are still places today that some are still marginalized in their society. It is crucial therefore that these persons have access to media, especially on black women self improvement literatures because they are often seen as bearing the brunt of inequality, violence and depreciation.

Most countries still have problems to gender inequality and it might have helped if media would be accessible to these people. In fact, some of them have never have heard about asserting their own rights since nobody in a macho society would ever inform them about it. That is why these women are exploited, harassed or not even respected because they are ignorant of the basic rights.

Our world would never be the same without leading women figures in our rich history. While men hunted for food during the new stone age, a Mesopotamian woman cast the first wheat grains into the wet soil which will later catapult them to the age of agriculture. Strong known figures, such as Joan of Arc, Elizabeth I, Margaret Thatcher and Elizabeth II have helped shaped the destiny of their own countries.

We could not simply forget the exploits of Joan of Arc who led the French army against the British forces in her beloved France. If not for Florence Nightingale, our wounded soldiers would never have survived from the wounds obtained in combat. For being different in perception and understanding, Jane Austen wrote several novels which continued to be read in the many countries in different languages.

Another joke circulating in small places is the idea that women can do everything that men can do, while the latter cannot do most of what the latter can. However, when asked if twenty of them can urinate in a urinal at the same time, the former are left dumb founded. Yet there is a meaning to this story that shows both should complement with each other.

We need to realize that without the other, we could never achieve a place where everyone has access to the richness of the earth and the rights to be exercised. We lived in a world where they may be limited resources, but never lacking when shared which we should have done ages ago. The key is to complement each other in this otherwise paradoxical world by learning to accept our differences.

Of course, these books are not meant to belittle the opposite sex, but rather to make us realize that the medieval thinking about women is a thing of the past. As they say, we cannot move forward towards change if we always place one foot backwards. In fact, we can do more when they work together as a team to make the world a better place for all people.

These may be difficult to achieve, especially in some societies where men are predominantly in control of most affairs. Yet if constant dripping of a water would crack a rock, the same could be compared to these societies by educating them on their rights. Mass media could help in this endeavor by exposing the truth behind empowering women.

Let us start to respect our women by giving what is due to them. Let us be educated enough to realize that we are not in the old times when they are relegated to house work. They have the potential to change the world, in as much as men do.
