Jfk White House Tour Analysis

In the 1960’s, women had been placed in stereotypical roles for years. But women were tired of these roles and were done with being complacent. They felt like something was missing in their lives, and they desired something more. The typical American

The press is definitely not perfect. Who better to let journalists know this than a fellow journalist? Clare Boothe Luce’s introduction of her message to journalists at the Women’s National Press Club utilizes literary devices and techniques such as pronouns, hypophora, anaphora, and antithesis. Luce looks to prepare her audience of female journalists so they respond more positively to her criticism of the American press by giving the reason for her presence and complimenting them. Luce adopts a conversational yet stern tone in order to help incite change in the press.

The office, President of the United States of America, is one, if not, the most powerful position in the modern world that any individual can occupy. However, there is another office in the same building and even the same family that garners much less attention: the office of First Lady. For the lack of attention both in historical records, and in public focus, First Ladies throughout the history of the United States have had much more influence and impact than they have been accredited. One such woman, Lucretia Garfield began, in her short term, to change the office of First Lady. Lucretia Garfield challenged the gender normatives of the Gilded Age, and she opened up her role for future First Ladies to exert their bold presence in the White House.

Throughout history women have been depicted and treated as an inferior to the male all aspects of life. It is without debate, that to this day, like many other countries, the United States of America is a patriarchal society, valuing men over women and using various tactics to oppress women by constructing gender roles. These gender roles are thrust upon people before birth and are reinforced through society within the media. This object here is to provide an overview of the portrayal of women in magazines from the late 1800’s to present day. As the years progress, so do the number of women’s rights. While women are still fighting for equality, the birth of feminism has done much to close the gender gap. Mass media, magazines in particular, facilitated in fostering a stereotype which became the standard, and continues to be, used by society. A society that continues to oppress and suppress its women. However, as the mass media has the capability to demystify, or to bring down and/or destroy a particular group or person, they also have the ability of mystification, or emulating a person or group into society’s graces. I plan to review how women were portrayed since this country’s inception with an analysis of how gender equality might be possible today.

The Civil Rights Act was passed by Congress in the wake of former President John F. Kennedy’s death, an event which softened even the hardest of politicians enough to allow one of Kennedy’s greatest goals to be achieved. Unbeknownst to the general public, First Lady Johnson was discreetly campaigning with key congressmen, letting them know that she and the President supported the addition of the word “sex to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act” (Anderson 78). At the same time, her husband was advising his cabinet to start hiring women, “‘this untapped resource,’for executive positions in the federal

Through the combination of regional traditions, works of previous First Ladies as well as utilizing European templates, “she created a national etiquette and social style suitable for a seat of government, one that could display power, enhance the status of the rulers, and facilitate the process of building a capital, a government structure, and a nation.” This presents a significant example as to how women were capable of shaping the rhetoric and structure of the American political culture as well as governmental

As John was in office, Jackie was so driven to redecorate the White House with its past artifacts. She even asked workers to help her find old stuff that are now in museums or even people's houses. She also looked thru government buildings. After she was finished redecorating the whole White House, she had it televised all around America. The show was named "A tour of the White House with Mrs. John F. Kennedy" (John 2).

Women today can vote, run for office, and have many interactions with politics, but it took a lot to lead up to this point. Dolley Madison, wife of James Madison, played an important role in women’s political life. Known as the “Presidentress”, Dolley hosted many female social political parties called “Mrs. Madison’s Crush” or “squeeze”. At Mrs. Madison’s parties, information was often traded, informal channels were established, and political access was gained. She was a main asset to her husband and understood the function of the White House and what it took to have the power of being in presidency. Dolley was a form of gateway for women in her circle to gain access to political issues and to have their thoughts and

In Miss Representation, Jenifer Newsom exposed bold reality of western culture and our continuous beliefs that a woman’s ability to hold positions of power and influence in today’s society, solely relies

“And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country.” John F. Kennedy said this famous quote in his inauguration speech on January 20, 1961. In his speech and during his campaign, he ensured the country that he would create stellar polices. His youthfulness brought hope to the country for a new age. This created confidence in his leadership and direction for the country. With this support behind him, he came into the presidency ready to influence change, in order for the country to thrive. In fact, the domestic policies he instilled did just this and if he had more time to gain knowledge on the Presidency, he could have made his foreign policies into great ones.

Women were not role players in the national government until 1917, but over nearly the past century, the impact women have had on Washington’s politics has begun to unfold into the current role women play in the US government today. Before 1917, no woman had ever been elected to serve and represent their state in Washington, D.C., although many had tried. In 1917, we saw our first congresswoman on the national stage, and throughout the year’s woman have played many roles in government. These roles include service in the House of Representatives, the Senate, many presidents’ cabinets, and other vital roles in our government. Many women have tried and some have come close, but, no woman has ever been able to grab the most illustrious role, the President of the United States. For that matter, no woman has been elected Vice President of the United States. Women will continue to try until they prevail and are chosen to serve as the President of the United States.

Many argue that a PR system is unjust – that it promotes tokenism over qualification. This is a plausible argument. In the same vein, it is important to never lose sight of the momentous gains women have achieved as a result of systematic diversification in government. President Ronald Reagan appointed Mrs. Sandra Day O’Connor to become the first female Supreme Court Justice. Condoleezza Rice served as the first female and African-American National Security Advisor. Nancy Pelosi led Congressman and Congresswoman alike as the first female speaker / Democratic Majority leader of the House of

First some background information on John F. Kennedy. During the presidential election of 1960 between the democratic nominee John F. Kennedy and the republican nominee Richard M. Nixon, controversy was surrounding Kennedy. Being the only catholic and youngest president many rumors started to circulate stating that forty-three year old, Kennedy, was too young to be president and that he lacked experience to be able to handle the cold war diplomacy. Also in regard to the cold war, three years before the 1960 election, Soviet Russia had launched Sputnik, the first manmade satellite to orbit earth. This was a big sign that america was behind in terms of science and technology, and that Soviet Russia was close to venturing into outer space. With this in mind both presidential nominees had to fight over the public in how they would deal with the embarking cold war. After Kennedy won the election, he delivered his inaugural speech on January 20, 1961 at the nation's capital. His audience

While the public still wants the first lady to be peaceful and diplomatic, they also expect her to take an aggressive stance on certain political issues, particularly issues relating to children and family. Gould writes that “Nancy Reagan’s controversial eight years revealed how much the popular expectation of First Lady activism had become embedded in political culture” (American First Ladies: Their Lives and Their Legacy xii). After an initial two years of political indifference, “[Nancy Reagan] and her advisers turned to a ‘Just Say No’ campaign against illicit drugs to validate her credentials as a First Lady with a real cause” (American First Ladies: Their Lives and Their Legacy xii). The aforementioned situation with Nancy Reagan exemplifies a modern truth: to be a successful first lady, political activism is not a choice, but a necessity.
