Feminist Reflection

The most prevalent and popular stereotype of the post World war II era in America is one filled with women abandoning their wartimes jobs and retreating into the home to fulfill their womanly duties. In Joanne Meyerowitz’s Beyond the Feminine Mystique: A reassessment of Postwar Mass Culture, she shows how far women departed from this one dimensional image. While Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique is reflexive and focused on the mainstream, Meyerowitz’s analysis is a broader and more inclusive exploration of media, as she draws upon multiple sources. Although Friedan effectively unveiled the thought process and reasoning behind society's belief that the message of media was to make women think that their place was to be the happy housewife, Meyerowitz expanded her media archives and found a differing message in analyzing both female responses to media and exploring their stories.

Daddy’s princess. Big brother’s responsibility. Daddy’s little girl. Some people view these as a sweet pet names for young ladies, but these verbal cues inexplicitly condition women to view themselves as the property of men starting at a young age. These learned notions may take hold as women begin to develop. As young girls mature, they find themselves striving to please their fathers and other male figures as one of their main aspirations in life due to this conditioning from society. (Rholetter p. 1) The submissive nature of young girls is a common theme in literature, but looking through the Feminist Lens offers readers a better understanding of the struggle surrounding remaining submissive or demanding power occurs.

In the past and present women have had to endure sexism as a part of everyday life. This is unfair and unjust to the female species. In this paper I am going to be talking about some of the issues of sexism and how they affect women. Some of the issues I will be talking about are the white males club and how non-membership effects women. What are the benefits of having a membership to it. How women are kept in their place by society and by themselves. How has this unequal affected women through their lives and the business world. If women are being liberated or not. What types of problems women are experiencing. These are the issues we will be discussing in this paper. The first issue we will be discussing in this paper is the

There are ideas in the world that could be evolutionary but when put into action, it may lead to complete and utter chaos. As human beings, we possess the ability to feel greed, envy, rage and arrogance that causes us to make inhumane decisions. It blinds us to sympathize those suffering. Throughout the 20th century, Capitalists envisioned a better place for society however; it was only a mere idyllic thought. The political system forced inequality among the people by separating the higher class from the lower class and created a battle of the sexes. This produced various flaws and problems within the Capitalist’s progress. Despite helping society improve to a certain extent, Capitalism created several conflicts regarding issues such as working

In The Awakening, Chopin describes how the perfect man or woman should look according to society. The Awakening was published in 1899 which “aroused a storm of controversy for its then unprecedented treatment of female independence and sexuality, and for its unromantic portrayal of marriage.” (Chopin, 1899, Note) Women were expected to be obedient housewives and a doting mother to their children. The statement; “If it was not a women’s place to look after children, who’s on earth was it?” (Chopin, 1899, chap 3) denotes what the woman’s responsibilities are in a marriage. Chopin uses the characters: Edna, Leonce, Madame Ratignolle and Robert Lebrun to show how marriage, independence, equal rights and

The basis that the feminist movement lies on is the fact that culture in the western hemisphere has traditionally patriarchal which means it has been “created by men, ruled by men, viewed from the eyes of men, and judged by men” (Smith 31). Women have been active in publishing their works for a very long period of time. However, it wasn’t until the 1960’s that writing composed by women were viewed by critics at the same level any other writing would be considered (Smith 31). In the past, women usually centered their lives around their families, which meant there was no room for an extensive education to pursue. This, in turn, made society view women as unintelligent even though there was many women who had clearly surpassed the knowledge many men had. The feminist movement in literature has the main purpose of finding parts

The museum in modern society is no longer a place for an unchallenged authority to civilize the barbaric masses, but instead a place fraught with conflicting views. Numerous artists and activists’ groups are performing critiques on museums for the ways they are still upholding anachronistic ideals and remain hegemonic, privileged, and patriarchal intuitions in society. This paper will be looking at these issues through the lens of Feminist critique and Institutional critique. This paper will analyse how Feminist art is de-contextualized and commercialized for use in museum spaces eliminating much of its radical meaning, and the limited successes and the failures of Instructional critique. This paper argues that while both Feminist and Institutional critiques are de-radicalized by being held within institutions, the critically specific and activist nature of feminist critique allows it to retain more power than Institutional critique. Feminist and Institutional critique will be contextualized by a case study in The Tate Modern museum, specifically the “Media Networks” gallery.

Feminism: the advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of equality of the sexes. The laws claims to neutrality and objectivity have been challenged by the Feminist Judgements Project using immanent critique to expose gender bias, reflecting the widely held belief that society will remain underrepresented whilst the legal system is male dominated. The ‘dynamic and innovative’ project involves the creation of alternative feminist judgements to significant English cases. Within this essay I will use the “landmark judgement” of R v A (No 2) to consider how a court without female voices “unconsciously favours male defendants” before defending the feminist judgement.

In her essay, “We Should All Be Feminists” Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie declares the necessity to reevaluate our current Global ideas about gender equality and calls attention to the weighty impact feminism has on both sexes:

I decided to write my paper on Lorraine Code’s article about feminist epistemology. Code talks about how in philosophy there are many different ideas that exist relating to knowledge. Code talks about how in the world of philosophy there are many different “knowers” or people who have obtained knowledge and given out their ideas to be followed by society. The problem was that during the time period when western philosophy was so prominent, men were looked at as being above females and that the knowledge of a man was more accurate than the knowledge of a woman. Code talks about how it is important to look at the character of the person and their interest in the issue they gave knowledge on. She believes that the sex of the knower is significant
