User:AnakngAraw/Women in Philippine literature

Women in Philippine literature are the fictional Filipino women characters that have been created by the writer to assume a protagonist's role in the narrative, regardless of whether the author or authors were a male or a female. These main characteristics and their character could be representative of how the male authors perceived women in their society, and as to how the female authors regard themselves in such a society in the Philippines, and as to what the ideal Filipino woman of the past could have been, to what the ideal Filipino woman should be today and what they could become in the future.
