Post 5 How the author's life in my Doc 1 affect the story?

Gail Godwin's author affects my story because it is based on her life in the past situations. In my story which is about a woman who is a housewife. The author who is now a full time writer, writes her story based on her mother and grandmother. Her grandmother was a housewife who cooked and cleaned similar to the woman in "A Sorrowful Woman". The story represents hardships of woman in her time dealing with different roles trying to figure out what roles is best fit for them. Just like in the story when the woman is trying variety of roles she is trying to fit in. The woman does things like hiring someone to do her work, dressing up in different costumes, and personalities."She is a full writer who has won grants, ( Godwin 39)". This is totally opposite than the character in the story which makes me believe that she is not representing this character based on people she knew or how society viewed women based on her time.
