Specifically for two certain books, this question applies. Writers often attempt to confer power on a marginalized group of people in their works of fiction in an effort to addrss the group's lack of power in the mainstream society or to make a push for full and equal rights in society for this group. Women have been disempowered, marginalized members of American society for centuries. Describe how the women in the Bluest Eye and in Their Eyes Were Watching God were raised as powerful, self determined individuals who control their own destinies(or struggle to do so). Your response would be mucho appreciated.
