Workshop: Man and Woman
in Literature and Poetry According to research of
the Australian Family Association “Men + Women Apart, Partnering in
Australia”, the lack of partnering in the 30 year old age group has brought
us to the conclusion that the knowledge of peace and its growth have to be
applied to the man and the woman, no matter which country they live in. To understand what is dragging men and woman apart – we will look at
the relationship of the man and woman as depicted in narratives by D. H.
Lawrence Women in Love, Patrick White Voss and Ray Lawler Summer
of the Seventeenth Doll. “ The creativity of men and women together will recreate
the world.” __________________________________________________ IFLAC America Panel: Chair
