  • Princess Sparkle Heart Makeover

    1102 Words  | 5 Pages

    Princess Sparkle Heart gets a Makeover by Josh Schneider, is a book that reflects both traditional and nontraditional norms because it’s about a girl, Amelia, and her doll that becomes damaged and then replaced with different body parts that don’t fit cultural expectations that normally portray a girl doll and Amelia still views her as beautiful. From looking at the book cover, you would expect this book to only reflect traditional norms. The title is pink, sparkly, and the font is flowy but at the same time it’s bold. Half of the words in the title are sparkly and the other half is made up of different patterns, and has screws and buttons sticking through them.

    Both women pretend, for some time, to be male pirates. The reading does not mention the women having many difficulties living as men. This makes me wonder how the social norms of women and men became so different. If women could do the same tasks as men then why were they treated differently? I also wonder how many other women pretended to be men and for what reasons.

  • Women In Yvain And The Magic Ring

    1456 Words  | 6 Pages

    Chivalric romances are often centered upon the efforts of gallant knights seeking to achieve a concept known as “true knighthood” which involves embarking on quests or adventures to obtain honor, love, and Christian virtue. The brave knights of these stories are met with many obstacles to overcome, commonly in regards to rescuing or protecting a lady. In other words, the typical role of women in this period is that of the damsel in distress or a helpless, dependent lady in need of a hero. However, the stories of Chrétien de Troyes’ Yvain, the Knight of the Lion and Friedrich Heinrich Karl La Motte-Fouqué’s The Magic Ring strays from the typical role of women as the damsel in distress.

They are consciously taught ideas in school and participate in subconscious learning of moral behaviors and attitudes outside of the classroom. Disney is undeniably a large part of most children’s subconscious learning. Regardless of the movie, children are internalizing stereotypes of what princesses and princes do and what they look like. Before 2009, the stereotypical princess was a character being of lighter skin, dependent on men, and being of privileged descent.

  • Analysis Of Amal El-Mohtar's Seasons Of Glass And Iron

    1891 Words  | 8 Pages

    In Amal El-Mohtar’s “Seasons of Glass and Iron,” two women are trapped in magical situations: Tabitha is forced to wear down seven pairs of iron shoes by her abusive bear husband as punishment for trying to prevent his violence, while Amira is placed on a glass hill by her father to prevent the advances of suitors and keep her father’s kingdom united under his control. Magic here acts a metaphor for patriarchal power, and is used to impose restrictions upon women, just as the patriarchal system does. Through this metaphor, El-Mohtar asserts that the socially constructed patriarchal system is not intrinsic to society but, like magic, is an unnatural force, and advocates for a return to the natural base in order to reconstruct society. Throughout the story, magic works in the same way that power dynamics in a patriarchal society work, in that it works against the female characters, imposing restrictions on them, while it works in favour of men.
