feminine Voices

• Why do we talk about feminine voices?

This is a question that you could ask to yourself when you are reading that blog! So I’m going to give you a global explanation about it!

It really begins during the 19^th century with writers as Jane Austen or Charlotte Brontë, they decide to give women a chance to express their feelings about everything, like their statues in the society or just their emotions. They were giving a simple evaluation of their society sometimes using irony but also using tragic history like the one of Kate Chopin The Story of an Hour. They were expressing the difference and inequality between the women and the men in their century, that was a hard time for them. Most of the time they were not accepted by the society because when they were writing they couldn’t do things to “accomplish” theirs selves, like painting, or learn how to play piano like good women or more specifically, good wives.

Another really important point about feminine voices is that the women could easily understand what the writer is trying to tell, because the can identified themselves to one of the characters or even to the author.
