The Power of Letters

With all the technology we have now days, are we really hurting ourselves more than helping? Maybe that statements taking it too far because technology has done so much in so many people's lives but it really is sad that we have lost the idea of writing a letter. Some of the first literature written by women came in the form of letters. Hand written letters provide a sense of intimacy that is just not available in emails. Maybe this is why letter writing allowed woman an outlet to write in. It was a private way of finally writing their thoughts down on paper. Emily Dickinson was a famous writer who wrote several letters. Although, writing from one person to another is a huge difference between writing for a public and being published it was definitely a start.
