Understanding Empowering Books For Women

By Alissa Gilliam


Publishing houses have seen a rise in the sale of empowering books for women. This follows policies laid down to create greater awareness about women rights. This is besides the never-ending debates on fights against gender-based violence. While some of these publications are genuine, unscrupulous writers after easy bucks have taken to such topics to enhance their sales and relevance in the literature world.

Transformation from the olden ways of life has majorly affected man. Long are the days when ladies were solely expected to submit to their husbands. Equality at all levels is the in-thing in offices and families alike. This has confused women spoilt for choices as there are no prior rules detailing the way forward. Writers have thus taken to enlightening and guiding them.

Problems arise when the literature taking care of this is not qualified. Sub-optimal books have hit the shelves in many parts of the world. These not only mislead more but also give literature a bad name. Their work encourages the weaker sex to push for their wants regardless of the cost involved. That is how unions have been broken.

Waging war against men has done more harm than good. Empowering women has created an artificial vacuum in most families. The number of court cases has been on the rise. As a result of women getting empowered, more and more women are seeking divorces. This could be directly attributed to the fact that women are being fed with irrelevant materials from the sub-optimal books in the market.

The masses are continually being fed with wrong information. This could be attributed to disparity in the printing and publishing houses. In some cases, the publishers over price or under price the books being published so as to gain an edge over others. The regulatory bodies have failed in ensuring evenness in the industry. This has led to the crumbling of the main pillars that support the society.

Before buying the books from the retail stores, the readers ought to conduct a background check on the publishers. The background checks should be carried out on various aspects of literature materials being published. Backgrounds checks help establish the quality of publications. As a result of profiling, the rating of print materials tends to increase. This is mainly because the readers are motivated to get the best value of their money.

Promoters must embark on full disclosure of the true nature of products they sell. Ladies are not to be subjected to asymmetrical information only to be disappointed on realising that their desires are not well catered for. As gullible as they are, they are in dire need of encouragement. This means that of importance is their protection and guidance in these murky waters. They are our mothers, lovers, sisters and daughters. Therefore, before setting out to exploit them, one is advised to consider the repercussions on the community at large.

Conversion of the world to a global village has made the internet more powerful than any government. A lot of information and literature is availed there for free or at a cost. We are all encouraged to read through it all to gain an understanding a woman's role in the society. Ladies should specifically befriend the internet if they are to act their role. This is besides motivation to advance in their careers and development of talents. With this, empowering books for women will regain their relevance.
