Madonna´s speech


Madonna
 Madonna´s speech is one of the most important speeches delivered in the field of music because it is related to feminists ideals, which generated great repercussions around the world. In her speech, Madonna declares, that she feels vulnerable as many women do. The main reason is gender inequality. In the field of music, as in many other contexts, there are differences between women and men. For girls, there are rules, but for men not. Madonna supports this idea by telling the audience about her own experience during their first years of her career. As a result of being inferior to men, Madonna has to face off many challenges such as; try not to be out of the market, in spite of her marital status. Through her experiences, she confirms that women do not have the same freedom as men. Finally, Madonna gives a clear message: “To seek out strong women from, to collaborate with, to be inspired by, to support and enlightened by.”

Doris Lessing - A Woman on a Roof

Doris Lessing  A woman on a roof The story is about a woman sunbathing on the roof of a building that is being refurbished by three construction workers. When the men notice the nude woman, whistling and hollering to draw her attention, she resists their advances, silently ignoring them. When the youngest of the men approaches to make the woman’s acquaintance, his advances are abruptly dismissed as the weather turns. Thematically, the story explores feminism, the male gaze, romantic fantasy, sexual desire, and resisting intimidation.  Narrated from the omniscient third-person perspective, the story begins in London during a June heatwave. Three men are repairing the roof of an apartment building: Harry, a forty-five-year-old man; Stanley, a good-looking man of about thirty; and Tom, a seventeen-year-old newbie. As the sun bakes down, the men notice an unnamed woman sunning herself in the nude on the adjacent roof about 50 yards away. The woman has black hair and fair skin.
