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.

There are still nations around the world that have no or less idea about empowering their women. In fact, this inequality is often the reason why they are often the most exploited and maltreated by others. Mass media could have helped spread a change of perception, but sadly some nations used it to advance their own interest rather on their own people.

Yet if we view history in its full perspective, we will discover that they played a crucial role on how the affairs and state of the world is shaped. If not for a woman from ancient Mesopotamia, we might not be able to discover agriculture which is a primary economic tool for self sustenance in every nation. They are proven to be warriors, literally and figuratively, in their own turfs, not to mention that they also are behind in the success of every man.

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.

That women cannot do as much as men can is a topic of a story that made rounds in beer taverns. It goes that they cannot urinate on the same receptacle at the same time, of which men can easily do. However, this story should be taken as a joke and not as derogatory as it may seem, since it just reflects that both sides should understand each other anyway.

These books will help us understand their impact today and how they could also be a pivotal catalyst on the economic, social, political, cultural, moral and spiritual dimension of all people. These will enlighten us that they also have the same rights on men, like having access to participate in religious, social, public activities, education and suffrage. In short, they are just as human as we are who share the same air that we breathe.

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.

It is also true that such true might be close to impossible as some societies still hold on to a male dominated state of affairs. We need to respect their opinions, yet we also need to educate them that times are changing and women are just as human as usual. They deserved to be respected, treated equally and educated properly.

To be rightly informed is the best thing to start a new world where all can live peacefully and equally. We only have one world to live at the present moment, so let us cherish each day by accepting and respecting each other. If we need to educate the future generation, we should start by doing so with our belittled women.
