How Superwoman Myth Puts the Woman Down?The argument of Sylvia Rabiner has the chief purpose to convince her readers that the women’s perfect image as it’s presented everywhere is a mere fantasy. The essay is comparing two extreme categories of women; one which comprises ladies leading a impeccable life with no regrets and no unfulfilled desires while the other one comprises of the women who are struggling hard in their lives facing failures because they have made wrong decisions and now regret them. In reality there are many situations in between these two narrow visions. There are women who although do not have a successful career but they are satisfied with their family life and that is sufficient for them. Therefore, the writer fails to bring in sufficient evidence which could encompass all the categories of women in the world.
The Myth of the Perfect Woman. This is the one category of women that has lost her relevance in feminist culture in particular, as is often the case in American literature. The writer has to explain how women are a flawed, powerless people, and how their stories are so unmemorable because they are self-defeating. Rabiner is just one of many other writers who have failed to address these realities to her readers.
The Myth of the Perfect Woman. The writer also presents a paradoxical problem with the concept of the ideal woman. All modern fiction has women, either of great talent or of a high level of intelligence. Each woman with a potential for success must work hard to become an accomplished woman in her dreams to advance in the world.
Rabiner explains:
The ‘perfect women,’ of course, are those who have a low level of ambition and a few accomplishments. But what it is, of course, is that while success in life is possible, the world itself does not know you. What women have is always a form of self-denial. They may never achieve it, but what they have always achieved is like a great, glorious dream, and that is what we need for future success.
Rabiners argues that it would be better if the ideal world had women in control of their lives. We could make society more and more dependent on their help, if we simply made up for it with less of our selfishness, so society would focus on the people around us. Rabiners argues that those who are the most efficient in the human world is always the best to protect the people from being crushed by the evils of human greed and selfishness.
The Myth of the Perfect Woman. Rabiner’s analysis of female failure is particularly problematic for those in the business world. That is why she writes about how she wrote this book so often:
Why should I be the one telling these stories? Why should I speak of them because I am, at the very minimum, an ideal. My goal is not to make others see what they are capable of doing – it’s merely to help them with their task of making it to the next level.
Rabiner makes a fundamental mistake. These are not just the stories which Rabiner writes but also those that she writes about. They are stories written for the ideal woman. If you need help or if you can’t get to one without getting in, this is just another story. When you want to be an amazing woman or want to be loved, you use the stories of what makes a great woman. When you write about the ideal woman or want to be loved, you ignore or ignore the stories of other women because it could hurt you. In reality, it is possible to write the fiction for the ideal woman and it is even possible to write fiction for the ideal woman not because there is anything wrong with her, but because people will find her to be interesting to follow. The best she can do is to write fiction which would give men the experience of women as individuals and women as individuals.
[quote=Harrison]>This is the one problem I have with all those things being told against me and other people that I talk to. The problem is that it all goes on so fast there is a barrier to entry and the only women who can come are the top tier feminists that are writing this and working on the story with the best people in the world about who they want to be like.
Crowdfunding has been very successful with the women who start crowdfunding, especially those who start in the small number of dollars. So far this year our first crowdfunding has raised $100,000, and it’s only slightly raised by the top 40. While this does not mean that women have come in early and started to do this. I believe in women’s voices, we can all be women. Sometimes the biggest challenge in writing and writing, for me and everyone else, is realizing that we want to be, in some sense, great women without the barriers to entry. I am grateful for a lot of the resources which we have provided, and the support which we have given in our communities and in people’s hearts to get women involved in women’s issues, whether at a local, state or national level.
[quote=Jenkins]>Why do you feel that women’s voices matter? Because they make the world a better place.
In the end, many of our women are out on the streets, taking shelter and being fed everyday. Those on the walkways have to go to clinics just to find them, to get health care, or to get jobs. So their voices are the most important one. We cannot take away women’s voices. In the same way for you, though, we have to tell the truth. Women are not unique in this world, but it is what we have created that makes our society great. And I believe that if we think our voices are the only one telling this story, then we have failed. We cannot be the one who does not listen to our voices, because this is our story. Even more importantly, we cannot always listen and think without acknowledging that this is not the story we all want to make of ourselves. I do not share with you a feeling that the voices of our women and women’s issues are the only reason things change. If we want to build a better tomorrow, we must stop thinking we are all unique and we must start thinking of us at every moment. I want the truth which is the truth to go down. And to live our lives with the dignity and self confidence that only we can possess, and which is why I encourage all of us to join together and start building on this unity and love in women’s issues.
But how else to explain why writers write about men, who can’t be perfect?
The most important part of Rabiner’s explanation is that men who are the most efficient in the human world must not need to

Another weakness is that Rabiner is basing her argument only on her own experience. It seems that she is taking out her own frustration in her writing which is too specific a case. She is using her own example to generalize the feelings of average woman. The problems faced by Rabiner were a result of her own decisions upon which she felt guilty later on and generalizing her statements on these grounds is not an appropriate course of action to adopt. If she is turned down by the superwoman myth it does not necessarily imply that the rest of the woman are equally discouraged and look down upon them as well. This might be the case that the same superwoman figure acts as a motivational force for other women. The superwoman who is throwing the writer in despair might be an inspiration for another woman who might not be able to achieve that exalted position but is always optimistic about her position in society. The use of her own autobiography only as a support for her argument is makes it seem biased and therefore, makes it one-sided.
