Elaine Showalter says in her essay ' Towards The Feminist' that the man depicted women the way they see them in the literature. It is too ridiculous to hear such statements from a writer, which shows she is not a writer in a true sense or she has seen only one aspect of writing. Writing has various aspects. So is true with the writer.
The writer is not an ordinary man. As TS Eliot says in one of his essays- "writer is a person who feels more than an ordinary man, he lives life more intensely than any other being on the planet. He can feel what a woman can feel or he can understand better than herself." How a male writer is unable to depict women in true sense. If a man cannot portray woman's character, then women are also unfit or unable to write on man If it is so, then it should be vice versa. Not one way. If it is so, then Women writers also depicted the men the way they see them instead of the true image of the men.
