“Women must not depend upon the protection for a man, but must be taught to protect herself” (Susan B. Anthony). All three authors, Naguib Manfonz, Assia Djebar, and Khayriyah Ibrahim as-Saqqaf write how women are not equally equal as men. “The Answer is No”, a male did not really let the girl choose the way she wanted to live her life and he screwed that up for her, “My Father Writes to my Mother,” they could not call each other by their name it was “traditional”, and “The Assassination of Light at the River's Flow,” she was being forced to marry someone. These three authors persuade their audience by using rebel women, the struggle, and the struggle in western civilization.
