Women have strongly felt afflicted by men who have undermined their ability to be independent. This issue is thoroughly asserted in the Feminist Analysis Key Concepts, which says, “Among those women who lived by the rules, so to speak, how did some find fulfillment in what may seem today to be very narrow exercise?” (203).
