BEHIND EVERY GOOD MAN IS A GREAT WOMAN

Most ancient texts were written by men. It is important to remember this.

The writers made sure that men were always the heroes, the powerful ones-- the

equals. One cannot help but observe that in the specific area of family life a

widespread social and cultural tradition has considered women's role to be

exclusively that of wife and mother. As a wife, a woman was expected to obey

and serve her husband. Men saw women as, what they believed to be, the fulfillment

of God's intention: "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a

historical texts. Even if the men are always the heroes, behind every good man

important role in a story. Women are seldom depicted as the heroines. Their

a suitor, Penelope is preventing her husband's throne from being taken away. She

this far ahead? It is hard to say if these are really Penelope's intentions. However, we

millions of nations would not exist. Sarah seems pretty important now, doesn't

not pleased with her decision. She performed this sacrifice for her husband-- again.
