I faced a real problem in writing this article about the influence of Victorian literature in the doctrines of Fascinating Womanhood:
http://lizzieandrewborden.com/HatchetOn ... nhood.html
When the 2nd wave of the women's movement broke in the early 1970s, I was immediately sympathetic to it. I am not attracted to domesticity and thought women needed to have their possible roles expanded. Fascinating Womanhood is a movement dedicated to promoting traditional gender roles and male dominance-female submission. When I set out to write about the influence of Victorian literature in FW, my own views were not really relevant. But how do I keep my own biases out of this piece in which they were irrelevant? How do I write about a movement I always opposed without seeming to sneer at it?
I would appreciate feedback on how well I did on this -- and how I could have done better.
