Today is a big day! Why? Because the whole earth is celebrating for half of the earth. Yes, that's true. Half of the earth, The half part of God's best creation- Women. A man plays many roles through his life but every time he plays a role, the support he needed is a woman. That's why a woman not only supports but also plays her own role simultaneously, not mention about greater responsibility that women bear.

It is not the whole truth, some women have been proving that they don't need anyone's attention and They can earn the respect and recognition from their own, they have been leading the world. It is time to celebrate the female achievement across the globe and to express our gratitude to Women.

Women's Writing and Legendary writers-

A brief explanation- 

Academic discipline of Women's writing is the based on the notion that the experience of women, historically, has been shaped by their gender, and so women writers by definition are a group worthy of separate study,Their texts emerge from and intervene in conditions usually very different from those which produced most writing by men ( Blain, Virginia, Isobel Grundy, and Patricia Clements, eds. The Feminist Companion to Literature in English. New Haven and London: Yale UP, 1990.)

In simple words, women's brain works differently and also as their e.q. (emotional quotient) is higher which makes them more creative and imaginative according to a study. But don't be confused that this concept is only limited to writers & writing. In fact, it is also emphasizes on the woman cast as in lead role in a novel or book because, then, a writer has to study, think and write exactly as women think.
