Can Women Have It All Can women have it all? Throughout history women have shown remarkable strength and resilience when faced with some of the most difficult times. In the biblical days there was Ruth who overcame adversity. During the Victorian era, there was Eleanor Roosevelt who overcame the death of her parents.

The question is not a simple yes or no, as the idea of “having it all” is different for each woman. People have a perception that working mothers should be superwomen all of the time, but that is not realistic--sacrifices have to be made.

In her article “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All,” Anne-Marie Slaughter comes to the conclusion that women can have it all, but the present structure of today’s society has made it unfeasible.

discoveries and exciting breakthroughs are all made at the expense of contradicting old rules and ideas. In order for Earth to be round, it could no longer be flat. Revolutions in literature, science, and countries are always filled with conflicts and contradictions to traditional conventions. In this sense, Virgina Woolf's essay A Room of One's Own can be called a revolution. Woolf breaks nearly all the rules of essay writing in her argumentative essay. She addresses the reader in the first person

When reading Lynn Japinga’s Essential Guide to Christianity and Feminism, there are many different lessons that you can take from it, ranging from lessons on what it means to be a feminist, what it takes to be considered a practicing Christian, and the many critics that both Christians and feminists face. Much like The Bible, the lessons you take depends on how you read it and what of your own knowledge and experiences you bring into the analysis. As someone who is on the forth year of sociology
Have you as a woman ever noticed that it is almost realistically impossible for us to get along with men? It seems like no matter how hard we try or how hard we try to pretend we understand them, we always seem to come off as stupid and sometimes crazy to them.
