Will people want to read a book about woman's modern day life?

Question

i.e. The different way people perseive women today

I was rushing soz

Thanks but will people want to read it?

Im thinking of writing a book reflecting my own experiences. Of course it would have to be written well otherwise readers wont understand what im trying to get across. Humour would definatley be included throughout. It would not include any mundane day to day experiences i.e soap opera's. I was thinking more along the lines of a single mother struggling to meet the expectations of family and friends. By "people" I mean anyone that judges without having experienced. Thank you all for your comments at the moment it is just an idea.

Answer 1

Depends on her life and if it was written well.

If her life was all about stupid drama or watching soap operas and keeping an eye on the latest Brittany stuff, no interest. If her life was about the usual struggles of the everyday women, I might read it. I think a good way to keep up with how things change is by writing about modern life. If you have ever read "Memoirs of a Geisha" and think about how that used to be modern life and compare that to what you or another writer might describe then it would make an interesting history lesson.

A good story can easily go bad if it's not written well.

Answer 2

Surely, whether they will want to read it does tend to depend upon how well it it written and whether there is anything worthy of their time in reading it!

Will it let them see and or understand anything different from what they are likely to read anywhere else!

Are you talking about writing something of Now which would be read in the future ....as your wording > The different way people perceive women today < makes me ask, 'What people? Are you possibly asking about how the elderly possibly perceive the younger woman of today...? Or...?

Sorry, but there are ambiguities that do require clarifification.

Sash.

Answer 3

I'd read it only if there's some humor in it, kind of like the style of David Sedaris.

I'm already a woman, so I know what it's like to be a woman today and I know how women are perceived.

Answer 4

Let's see now...

Most TV channels are directed to women's interests;
Most adverts are directed at women (or, at bashing men to make women giggle);
Many books / magazines already focus entirely on women;
Doctors offices & hospitals are all very female-friendly (while neutral to men, not necessarily anti-male);
Education is 99% female orientated;
Laws benefit women while criminalizing men;
Political groups pander to women's groups (feminism);


So, surrounded by all this femcentricism - would I really want to read a book about a woman's modern day life when it's all around us from Oprah on TV to VAWA (while ignoring violence against men & children)?

Can't say as I would!

Would you like to read a book about a Jewish man's modern day life?

Answer 5

Sure, I'd want to read it.
We still have a long way to go, baby. Witness some of the female bashing that goes on here.

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

I think they will, as long as it isn't a clone of all that chick-lit crap currently on the shelves.
