Bodies Quotation

The quote that caught my eye the most was at the very beginning when it stated, "Many women feel ambivalent about their bodies. In significant ways women's bodies are a source of empowerment: They create life, give birth, work out, express sensuality and sexuality. On the other hand, women may perceive their bodies as too fat, too thin, painful during menstruation, or vulnerable to sexual abuse". This quote is so powerful in many different ways. It states the characteristics that a women's body entails while also incorporating the relevance as well. It shows the positive and some may consider other as negative effects of a women's body. All in all when it comes together I can personally on some level relate to this poem. On a daily bases I feel like I am in some way putting my body in a negative perspective. I am never satisfied with how I look, and I feel like many women out there feel the same way. I liked this quote the most and it includes a great deal of what this class women's writers embodies.
