In the book “Capital Dames: The Civil War and Women of Washington 1848-1868,” by Cookie Roberts. Mrs. Roberts talks about women in political families and how they changed the Capital.

In the article “The Leo Frank Case Reconsidered: Gender and Sexual Politics in the Making of Reactionary Populism”, author Nancy MacLean focused on one of the most famous and controversial court cases in American history. The Leo Frank Case involved a Jewish pencil factory manager named Leo Frank who was charged, convicted, and eventually hanged by anti-Semitics for the crime of killing and raping a 13-year-old employee named Mary Phagan. During the case, despite feelings of resentment of the urban elites by the working class, and the use of anti-Semitism as justification by Frank’s enemies for his guilt, one of the biggest themes MacLean points to was gender. Throughout the article, MacLean showed various ways in which gender played a pivotal role.

. . . Often, awaking suddenly at midnight, he shrank from the bosom of Faith, and at morning or eventide, when the family knelt down at prayer, he scowled, and muttered to himself, and gazed sternly at his wife, and turned away. And when he had lived long, and was borne to his grave, a hoary corpse, followed by Faith, an aged woman, and children and grandchildren, a goodly procession, besides neighbors, not a few, they carved no hopeful verse upon his tombstone; for his dying

One of the most pivotal revolutions that occurred in U.S. history is the acceptance of women’s participation in politics. During the 18th century, women were highly discriminated and often portrayed as unfit for citizenship and politics. However, there were still many people who were determined to fight for women’s equality and education despite the opposition. These people paved the way for future female generations to earn a chance to work with politics: A male political leader, Benjamin Rush, drew attention to the importance of formal education for women. A woman, named Judith Sargent Murray, expressed resistance to the idea that women were solely devoted to stay home and take care of her family. Another insightful woman, named Mercy Otis

In the chapter entitled “The Public Presidency Communications and Media,” Matthew Eshbaugh-soha argues that media coverage is extremely essential for presidential governance. However, it is challenging to control and adjust to serve presidential purposes, for it is driven by different motives. A president’s goal is to increase coverage surrounding him to obtain support for his policies, while the media wants to sell the best headlines to increase their profit. Eshbaugh-soha argues that even though presidents have developed different tactics to maximize their media coverage, they often face failures in doing so. In this chapter, Eshbaugh-soha analyzes the different mythologies, through which presidents attempt to increase their

Josephine Butler was born on the 13th of April in 1828 in Milfield Hill Northumberland, and she was the seventh child of John Grey and his wife, Hannah Annett. Born during the Victorian era, she was a revolutionary activist and a leader of a National Women’s Political campaign. Inspired by her father, who was a leading liberal and agricultural reform in the English border country, Josephine became aware of the terror of slavery and mistreatment of women, which sparked her care for the imprisoned and ill prostitutes. During the time, women were not allowed to vote, but Josephine managed to repeal the Contagious Disease Act, which was an act strongly supported by the public. This act was passed as a rationale to protect military men from getting sexually transmitted diseases from prostitutions, but allowed the latter to be sexually assaulted by police officers as they checked them for venereal disease. By repealing the act, Josephine Butler highlighted the great injustice that prostitutions faced. Moreover, she also campaigned for higher education for women, and sought equal suffrages. Nevertheless, she never became the national heroine of her time as compared to Florence Nightingale, and her accomplishments were much undermined. This essay narrates the exciting and complex journey of Josephine Butler, the influences she received throughout her life, as she struggled through her campaign that made her the historical heroine of today.

At the end of Animal Farm Napoleon officially renames the farm from Animal Farm back to the Manor Farm an action almost guaranteeing failure. Previously, Napoleon and his goons had been becoming more and more human like with the addition on walking on two legs, carrying whips, and living in the farm house. However all of that was very easy to trick the other animals into going along with because of how they slowly changed over time as the animals forgot what they hated about humans and still kept their trust in Napoleon. But changing the name of the farm back into what is directly associated with everything animal farm is against would not be tolerated by the other residents. Even though few of them can remember the days when Jones was around, those few will surely see this as Napoleon crossing the

The year was 1912 in London, England. Women lived at the mercy of their fathers, brothers, husbands and bosses; clearly a patriarchal society. Women’s lives consisted of keeping house and raising children and caring for their families. Those who worked outside of the home were limited to menial labor, earned significantly less than men, and surrendered their earnings to their husbands. Any inheritance of real estate or money a woman may have received was given to her husband and, most often, she had nothing to say about how it was managed or spent. A woman could not vote or run for office, and received little support, should she desire an education other than a ‘finishing school.’ (Clearly,
