American author and critic Elizabeth Janeway discusses the position of women in literature and society. This lecture is part of a series discussing the intersections of politics and art. Janeway argues that the world is not as segmented as society makes it out to be and that men and women are socialized to see each other as significantly different than they fundamentally are. She observes the socially constructed positions of women and men in the literature as written by each gender: Men are socially forbidden from expressing emotion while women feel a social responsibility for managing everyone's emotions. Janeway connects these observations to the political world, concluding that “what is needed in politics and literature is that men and women take each other seriously.”
