Women’s Studies Issue Analysis School number: 919 SACE Number: 878562L “A girls gotta do what a girl’s gotta do” – Kris Jenner, mother of the Kardashian Family How do the Kardashian’s reinforce traditional female gender roles and what are the consequences.   The Kardashian’s reinforce traditional gender expectations with their influence on contemporary society and its portrayal of appropriate behaviours through the voyeuristic notions of reality television. The members of the family appear on the front covers of magazines, gossip columns, television cameos and countless spinoffs of ‘Keeping up with the Kardashian’s’. Academic Amanda Scheiner McClain believes that “media shapes our understanding of gender” with models for each gender.

“She proposed that the Declaration of Sentiments demand suffrage for women. All other resolutions passed unanimously. But only a bare majority voted for suffrage.” (Banner 42) However, there were some negative points.

Women are an essential part of many British works. Although women are typically given the role of minor and less significant characters in British literature, they serve a greater purpose than that of which is initially perceived by the reader. Grendel’s mother in Burton Raffel’s, Beowulf, and the female creature in Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s, Frankenstein, are two noteworthy characters that are overlooked, but the roles they play and their influence are important to the storyline. Although she is monstrous and is described as having masculine features and actions, Grendel’s mother is a peaceful and loving being at the core.

The Evolution of Wonder Woman throughout the Book The creation of Wonder Woman was inspired by the women around William Marston. Olive and Sadie were the main inspirations to the story. From Wonder Woman 's look, to her feminist orientation, the character shows how Marston 's love and personal life was interwoven. The idea of the series was born out of Marston 's feminist belief in women having equal rights and ruling the world someday.

Realizing Your Full Potential     The Feminine Mystique, written by Betty Friedan, ignited a wave of feminism over the United States.   The non-fiction novel opened the eyes of many women to continue their dreams instead of settling down to become a housewife.  I would recommend The Feminine Mystique to people who struggle with trying to accomplish their dreams.  

In “O Pioneers!” by Willa Cather it is easy to see how similar Cather is to her own character Alexandra Bergson, who many of Cather’s own views can be learned through. Throughout the story there are many examples of realistic, romantic, and naturalistic thinking. Realistic thinking may not be represented the most by in “O Pioneers!”, but I believe Cather leaned toward it a little more than the other types of thinking. She had a realistic view of a woman’s place in society and refused to just be a housewife.

What does a feminist reading reveal about Dahl’s intentions in “The Three Little Pigs”? Although feminist theory has been in existence for many years, its exact definition is still debated. However, it is generally agreed that it attempts to discourage existing stereotypes concerning women and deconstructs ideas that they are inferior to men, as well as disproving outdated assumptions to do with gender roles. When this theory is applied to Roald Dahl’s ‘The Three Little Pigs’, the reader can see a different type of woman, who is strong, heroic and independent, in the character or Little Red Riding Hood.

She was a political organizer and took part in a lot of different issues, feminism being one of them. In her free time Piercy wrote, through the poem Barbie Doll you can see how real life issues seeped into writing. The social issues really came through in this poem because this little girl was morphing to be this image that society told her to be. Around that time a woman’s voice was belittled and she was expected to change to be this person that everyone told her to be. People then didn't clearly see the consequence that young girls especially were going through just to try an attain this unattainable

Alison serves as an archetype of the gold digger, since she withholds sex until she is paid. This action also fulfills the misogynist’s notion that women act for selfish reasons. Throughout the novel, the women are depicted primarily as semi-feminists. They are neither fully feminist or fully anti-feminist because they all uphold as well as destroy typical misogynistic beliefs.

Through the situations that both Eugenia and Mae Mobley have endured it can be foreshadowed that Mae Mobley will grow up to carry on and expand Eugenia’s legacy. The experiences that Eugenia had are exemplified by Mae Mobley. Eugenia accredits Constantine to raising her and Mae Mobley considers Aibileen to be her real mother (Stockett 336). Mae Mobley is also considered to be lacking in physical beauty, but similarly to Eugenia is made up for in their inner beauty. Constantine’s disappearance was a mystery to Eugenia as Aibileen’s is to Mae Mobley.

This short story is an embellishment to illustrate the impact of the Rest Cure. “The story is not intended to drive people crazy, but to save people from being driven crazy, and it worked,” Charlotte Perkins Gilman declared (Siegel, 2008). Similar to Lauren Hale, countless women are able to resonate with Gilman and “The Yellow Wallpaper” (2008). Lauren Hale explains being able to identify with the main character due to her own journey of motherhood and insanity thereafter. Charlotte Perkins Gilman successfully incorporated a realistic insanity into the main character of the short story as well as exposing the mental health diagnoses and cures for the 19th century.

In "Little Girls or Little Women? The Disney Princess Effect", Stephanie Hanes makes the argument that Disney princesses and modern day media influence young girls in negative ways. Hanes suggests that sexualization is everywhere including cartoons. She points out that any detail such as Ms. Piggy showing cleavage, leads girls to assume that doing so is okay and natural. Furthermore, Hanes asserts that allowing girls to see themselves as sex objects is a contributor to depression, eating disorders, and many other health problems for young girls.

Rhetorical Analysis Essay “Feminism isn’t about making women stronger. Women are already strong. It’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength” (G.D. Anderson). Emily Shire attempts to convince the audience that feminism is a misunderstood topic by using a concerned and determined tone, by appealing to the reader’s sense of logos, and by using rhetorical explanation.

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” As shown in today’s society racism is a belief of certain genetic traits that are determined by human’s abilities and capacities. Quantity differences lead them to the belief that certain races has few inherited traits of superiority, most importantly is the skin color. Racism creates the racial discrimination which affects the life of many people in the society.

Feminism can be defined as a thought in socio-political movements primarily based on and motivated by the engagement of women. While providing a general assessment of gender based relations, many components of feminism also focus on analyzing general inequality and the promotion of women's rights and interests. Kelly DeConnick and Valentine De Landro’s Bitch Planet perfectly choose to emanate from this movement as it establishes a well-thought and meaningful deposition to opposes of feminism. The narrative is set within a dystopian world in which “non-compliant” women who do not conform to society’s sexualized facsimile of femininity are transported to an off-planet all female prison known as “Bitch Planet” in which they are reprimanded. Non-compliant
