Analysis Of Qiu Jin's Injustices To Chinese Women

As a woman, the odds were automatically against you in their society. The authority of tradition in the society Kingston lived in is very oppressive. Living in a male-dominated society forces Kingston to live in curiosity and fear due to her aunt 's act of adultery. Brave Orchid, Kingston 's mother, draws on Chinese myths and experiences to teach Chinese traditions and customs to her daughter.

It had long been known in China, that boys were more valuable than girls, and this practice further goes to show the chasm, between boys and girls in Chinese society. One final example from Fitzpatrick’s article, that shows the unequal treatment of women was that when “ultrasound tests (which allowed parents to see their child in the womb) and abortions,” became more and more common and easier to find, many parents resorted to these methods to kill their child. In essence, women were being killed because they were not as good as men and had to pay a price. In general, the one-child policy marginalized women throughout

Wollstonecraft believes that if women have the same opportunities as men and proper training in math, philosophy, and science, then they could become productive and influential members of society. Additionally, Wollstonecraft argues that marriage is no better than prostitution. In fact, women should not just marry and be slaves to their husbands, whether it is mentally, emotionally, or sexually. Wollstonecraft’s insightful diction signifies that sex meant physical attraction, and she argues that physical attraction could never sustain a marriage. In her mind, a thriving marriage is one where a man admires a woman’s mind and supports her individualistic morals.

She supports--or claims to support--women acting with utmost modesty, fulfilling their assigned roles and doing so with obedient deference to the men in their lives. She takes women with humility and piety, caring and support. On top of it all, she advocates for women

Growing up in America she took on American customs that her very Chinese mother disapproved of. Waverly lives a very Americanized lifestyle. “When you go to China, I told her, you don’t even need to open your mouth. They already know you are an outsider.”(Tan288) Waverly lives with her white fiancé Rich, gets her hair done at a salon frequently, and spoke very little Chinese.

Most women are concubines and courtesans, are prostitutes, and are slaves to their husbands and sons. In the Qing dynasty, there were laws about women’s rights but these laws were practicaly useless.

The Rebellious Daughter: Analyzing the Theme of Amy Tan’s “Two Kinds” The story “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan explores the deep familial emotions between a mother and her daughter. Jing-Mei’s mother had left China to come to America after losing her family, and had been raising Jing-Mei in America with her second husband. Despite her mother’s grand hopes for Jing-Mei to become successful in America by becoming a child prodigy, Jing-Mei did not share the same opinions. This disagreement quickly became a source of resentment and anger for both of them, but Jing-Mei and her mother were unable to resolve this conflict because of their different backgrounds and experiences. The story showcases how relationships between mothers and daughters can be strained because of differences in culture and a lack of communication.

That is why I think that Chinese Cinderella is a depressing story. My whole essay shows that how Adeline is mentally and physically abused by most of her family. The reason that I chose this is because that during her lifetime she never got any love from her parents especially Naing when she married father so then she got even less respect. Chinese Cinderella was a depressing story because she got through hard times from when her mother died and then when father had remarried she then had such little respect from anyone that she became as if she was meant to be

The role of women comes into play when Van Helsing complimented Mina saying that “She has a man’s brain--a brain that a man should have were he much gifted--and woman’s heart” (Stoker 251). Although the men knew what she can do, Mina was still sidelined all because she is a woman. Women’s rights is another issue that was mentioned in the novel.
