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. For example, in Cady Stanton’s childhood, gender expectations were very flagrant.” Margaret Livingston Cady carefully trained her daughters in the genteel domestic arts appropriate to future wives of the gentry.” (Banner

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. In Beowulf’s original battle with Grendel, he insisted that he use no weapons or armor to defeat the enemy.

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. The evolution of Wonder Woman started from her creation as a strong, gifted, wise, courageous, and beautiful woman.

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. The novel impacts an individual to realize what they are capable of becoming.

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. By doing so she lead the way for many female writers and encouraged them to write and make a name for themselves.

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. Dahl has deliberately merged both of these classic fairy tales together to make a new, modern version, which does not contain stereotypes and outdated views.

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

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. However, given that any form of feminine power was unaccepted at this time, the women of these tales display an unprecedented level of self-pride. Though the feminist waves had a more resounding impact on women’s roles, Chaucer's characters can be seen as foundational. In addition, the archetypes associated with these women continue to exist even

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.
