Assertion: i want a wife

This feminist literary selection is famous for its humorous language and effective style. The irony comes from the everyday truths that a wife undergoes, and Judy Brady has a wit and sense of humor that lists the life of a wife, and persuades any reader why a wife would be beneficial to anyone. I agree with her. After reading this, I questioned my potential mother-hood, and whether or not, I will get married and enter a form of dare I say, slavery. The duties and disgusting tasks are endless and almost allow the woman for no life outside of working and cleaning and cooking for a table-full. In this mock-sarcastic light, a wife’s role seems to have no admiralty in it at all. But, I do want to point out another part of a mother’s role. The part where she raises her children and they grow up well, and successive, and come back to visit and talk. Hearing the stories of life, and knowing internally, you were the very person equipping your kid with the “stuff” to make it out there, is all worth it. Knowing you gave them power and stability; the instinct to accomplish things and to work hard honestly. That is a different sense of value that being a wife and mother brings. It brings self-fulfillment and the slight smile that shows on her face when she knows she finally did something in her slaving away and raising her kid, that it wasn’t for nothing.
