Can you name a female author who is like Goethe, but in reverse, educating women on the topic of men?

Question

...in matters of love and life.

Goethe: male author who educates men about women : : female author who educates women about men: [?]

I'm aware that some who answer may want to dispute my premise that Goethe is such. Before doing so, though, I would hope these answerers have had the sense to have read at least a few of the poems he wrote while in Strasburg.

* Hax A, I think it best you stay away from books. You might hurt yourself.

*On second thought, after reading some of your answers, HAX, I would throw a few Harry Potter books to you from outside that vacuum in which you have chosen to dwell.

Answer 1

Hi Vonhiggins,
These"poems", also express Goethe's,deeply felt convictions, about the relationship of the female ideal.. to art and science....
>>>>
Well, .. My favorite is : ~ Shaunti Feldhahn ~ : "For Women Only" ....
>>>>
~Margaret Fuller~
>>>>>
But what I think personally is .. You learn more about both genders... with "communication", people do that not often enough, these days!! .. rather a pity, isn't?!
>>>>>

Thanks, for the question! :)

My regards!

Answer 2

I think that married couples will do what is necessary to ensure they have the happiest lives. My wife works and I do not. I am better educated than her, but it doesn't really matter. Our oldest daughter is mentally handicapped to the point where she is immobile. My wife is a petite woman and does not have the physical strength to care for her any more. I however, can, so I stay home and care for our daughter. Other than placing our daughter in a home for the handicapped we don't have any other options. We want to keep our family whole, so I do what I have to do. I made more money than she does prior to us trading places. I don't think that roles are reversing, I just think that the standard roles are changing to suit a modern world. 60 years ago when much fewer wives were working the health-care advances to keep my daughter alive did not exist. My daughter would not be alive. I think we live in a time where versatility in all aspects of life are necessary for happiness. I would rather be out making the money, not going to lie, but I have a duty to my family.

Answer 3

Hello vonhiggins...just me again. Thought poor Hax may need a little strafing fire as a distraction...

At first blush I'd say Ayn Rand. Or perhaps Elizabeth Barrett Browning?

Or, my personal favorite...Camille Paglia.

PS: The answer better not be Dr. Ruth!

Answer 4

To be honest, I've never seen anyone wishing they knew more about men. Don't know why. Guess men are supposedly easy to understand.

But I've never heard of Goethe, either.
