Thank you We sneak Symbols the human body i'll ashman

00:10

think women's writing is deeply concerned with the body maybe

00:15

one central way that that comes across is people talking

00:17

about the stomach So we've got queen elizabeth saying that

00:21

she has both the heart and stomach of a man

00:24

that idea that she can take in anything that comes

00:28

her way but also that she hasn't a appetite for

00:31

power and christine hippies on brings it up in a

00:33

different way Justin that she's concerned with food and how

00:36

men often don't appreciate the fact that women are the

00:39

ones putting food on their table Yeah so one of

00:41

the things she's so bring in women isn't just their

00:43

intellectual capability which is under represented but also pointing out

00:46

what they already do that we should just pay more

00:48

attention to write like men To the extent that you

00:51

have a stomach you should be valuing the women in

00:54

your life and then have mary rawlinson who is making

00:57

a conscious effort to feed her children while they're hungry

01:01

walking one hundred fifty miles so over and over again

01:05

you have women who realize how material leads are affecting

01:10

how material needs air Incredibly important And they're very aware

01:13

of their own connection to just physical existence just to

01:17

life itself And they're always aware that it could go

01:20

away at any moment Yeah How do elizabeth the first

01:25

christine to present and mary roland's and view the human

01:28

body What statements do they make through food Mary don't 00:01:36.71 --> [endTime] forget us We want corn too
