Answer: I do not think American women today are still expected to obey the wishes and desires of men, in other countries however, this is the case. In some middle eastern countries, for example, women in some Islamic states are put into a hierarchal relationship with their husbands. This relates to the text: 'The tyrant husband next appears with awful and contracted brow'. This verse shows the author's feelings of subjugation to her husband, which may be felt by any woman in a mentally abusive or hierarchal relationship. In today's American society, women are often given more advantages than men are. According to Linked In, women are 20% less likely to apply for jobs than men, but are 18% more likely to be hired. This is in opposition to the text where it is stated, 'Subject to man in every state, how can then she be free from woes?' The author of the poem obviously feels that females are subject to males in everything, but evidence shows that if you are a women, you will be more likely to be offered a scholarship, a job opportunity, and other positions.
