168 Words1 Page

The story of Ellingson, therefore, acts as a motivating factor to the feminists in the current society. By her ambition and strong stand, she supervised her career and could manage more than sixty men in the archaeological sites by 1939 (Kaiser, 2014).

These words are extracted from an essay that can be found in the journal article written by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich titled, Vertuous Women Found: New England Ministerial Literature, 1668-1735.

A quick web search for the slogan, “well behaved women seldom (or rarely) make history” resulted in hundreds of pictures and links to online stores where individuals can purchase articles of clothing, such as t-shirts and sweatshirts, bumper stickers, and posters containing the slogan.

    750 Words  | 3 Pages

    Mary Wollstonecraft’s A vindication of the rights of women written in 1792 can be considered one of the first feminist documents, although the term appeared much later in history. In this essay, Wollstonecraft debates the role of women and their education. Having read different thinkers of the Enlightenment, as Milton, Lord Bacon, Rousseau, John Gregory and others, she finds their points of view interesting and at the same time contrary to values of the Enlightenment when they deal with women’s place. Mary Wollstonecraft uses the ideas of the Enlightenment to demand equal education for men and women. I will mention how ideals of the Enlightenment are used in favor of men but not of women and explain how Wollstonecraft support her “vindication” of the rights of women using those contradictions.

    854 Words  | 4 Pages

    Margret Atwood’s short story “Lusus Naturae” is known as a work of fiction in which a monster uncommonly plays the role of the protagonist. Discussing character dynamics, it is interesting to examine the symbolic meaning behind the girl as a monster in this story. Is this text simply a fantasy created with the goal to serve solely as a horror story with a typical ending, or does this tale have a deeper meaning encompassing the treatment of women and their sexuality throughout history. Through close reading of “Lusus Naturae,” I plan to use evidence from the text to illustrate symbolic parallels between the unusual protagonist and the known historical role women held in society. To begin Atwood grabs attention by opening her story asking the

It is women who tasked with raising the next generation. By looking at women of the past, people of the future can learn and evolve to fight oppression and gain their own power.
