Women writer's influence on our society

Women writer's influence on our society Estonian women writer's history doesn't go far back. The reason for that is that people were slaves back then. Even if there were writers, then most weren't famous and they wrote poems and stories more for themselves. Also being a woman and a writer wasn't considered as a decent job for a woman at that time. The stories that we have from that time were given to one another by talking and mostly we don't know who were the authors. Education was also very expensive so only rich people could get it and Estonians, who were just farmers, mostly didn't have money for that. First I am going to talk about Marie Heiberg. She lived 1890-1942. Her first poem collection was ,,Mure-lapse laulud" in translation ,,Problem child's songs". Her talent was noticed, but she didn't have a change to really become famous.

The Origins of American Literature

epistemology, a way of knowing, and the ultimate characteristics which tied together the frequently contradictory beliefs of the loosely formed group called "The Transcendentalists" was the belief that man can intuitively transcend the limits of the senses and of logic and receive directly higher truths and greater knowledge denied to the mundane methods of knowing. Among the most famous of the transcendental leaders, in addition to Emerson, Thoreau and Alcott were Margaret Fuller, George Ripley, F.H. Hedge, James Freeman Clark, Elizabeth Peabody, Theodore Parker, Jones Very, and W.H. Channing. But the arch-advocates in literature of most that the transcendentalists stood for were Emerson and Thoreau; and the two documents which most definitely give literary expression to their views were Emerson's Nature (1836) and Thoreau's Walden (1854). East coast dominance of the Am lit scene was broken by Mark Twain, the pen- name of Samuel Longhorne Clemens (1835-1910)
