for Kindle: women's oppression

In response to the SOS looking for women's oppression pieces, I thought of something. I'm not sure exactly how it will fit into your argument, Kindle, but I think you could be able to use Emilia Lanyer's poem, "Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum." You'll have to work to get it in, but I think you could use it as an example of how some women were vocal about the oppression. You could provide a feminist viewpoint of the Fall through this piece as Lanyer does, as an objection to the way the Church had portrayed women as the downfall of man. Just a thought. Hope this helps!
