Introduction
In April 1917, a lovely girl was born into a high-class English family. Her name was Leonora Carrington, and she became one of the greatest surrealist female artists. She was born in England at a time when it was believed that women’s best role was to stay at home and take care of children while men worked outside and brought a weekly wage. Society made a frame to justify that women were lower-valued than man. Women were expected to marry a man and have children rather than go to school and pursue a career. Unsurprisingly, Carrington also had to go through the same gender struggles.
Part I
At Carrington’s age of ten, she knew what she wanted to become after she first saw a surrealist painting at a gallery. However, her father was conflicted with her decision. She didn’t give up and at 18 years old, she started her first art program at Chelsea School of Art in London. While there, she met Max Ernst. He inspired her in surrealistic paintings and soon they started developing their artist career as a couple. She even created a painting of him as a tribute to their relationship, “Portrait of Max Ernst” (1939). However, the sweet romance didn’t last so long. Because

Likewise, because many female artists only had limited opportunities to succeed in their career, opinions of what women should do reflected in society’s beliefs. First, under man-powered culture, women were usually discriminated by the gender for education. And regardless of the one’s ability, women get more opportunities when they were with men. As an example, Harriet Hosmer was the first woman sculptor to travel to Rome to study. However, even though she was a regular student as others, she was refused access to the anatomy class. Later, she could take anatomy lessons with her friend’s father’s help who became a supporter of her work, but this had to be done privately rather than with a group of male

Unfortunately, in our time of an opioid epidemic, people will do anything to feed their irrepressible drug habit, which is why it isn't surprising, and head-shakingly sad, to hear that a woman faked cancer to feed hers. The really surprising part? She's married to a police officer, and he didn't catch on for almost four years.
For my research paper, I plan to write about the Boleyn/Howard family. I will be focusing mainly on Henry VIII wives Anne Boleyn and her cousin Catherine Howard. The time frame I look to examine is from the rise of Anne Boleyn and her family to the fall of Catherine Howard and the aftermath of their executions and how it affected the family left behind. I think that both the Boleyn's and Howard's were very influential towards the middle and end of Henry’s reign. Most prominent is Anne Boleyn who has been polarized throughout history as either an innocently executed wife or a malicious and ambitious she-wolf who brought down Catholicism in England. Whichever way you look at it Anne is one of his most remembered and influential wives. For whatever

She is an American artist born in Pennsylvania on May 22, 1844, but later relocates to Europe in 1866 to pursue to work in art. This was mainly due to her family’s and society’s objections to women in the field of art. There she met and befriended famous Impressionist Edgar Degas. Because of her close friendship with Degas, she grew courage to continue to do art in her own way. She continued to paint until she slowly began to lose her eyesight and later died in 1926.

Modernity and the Spaces of Femininity was written by Griselda Pollock in 1988, and later published in The Expanding Disclosure in 1992. Griselda Pollock is an art historian, and writes this article for fellow art historians. This is an article written to show the different approaches to femininity in the late 19th century, mainly dealing with the field of art. This article shows how during this time period there were women artists, but due to the gendered ruled ideas attached to art history, these women are largely ignored by art historians. Pollock thought that these women artists are primarily overlooked due to the fact that they are judged by the same standards that are affixed to the work of their male counterparts. But she argues
There is some disparity between the way critics and philosophers like Judith Butler view Cindy Sherman's work and the way that Cindy Sherman speaks of her photographs. It may be the disparity that exists between many modern artists, who often operate on an intuitive level, and the philosopher critics who comment upon them from a theoretical perspective or a pre-established framework. On one level, Cindy Sherman may only be playing "dress-up" (as she herself admits) in her famous History Portraits (1989-90) (Berne, 2003). On another level, however, her "dressing-up" may be indicative of a deeper problem in modern gender identity theory which is the problem of "becoming" woman (Butler, 1994) or, as Judith Butler sees it, the problem of performativity. In the History Portraits, Sherman may certainly be said to be "performing" and perhaps even attempting to "become" the male and female characters she represents in her work. Indeed, it is upon such a premise that philosopher critics and gender theorists find her work so engaging. This paper will examine Cindy Sherman and her History Portraits in relation to Judith Butler's gender theory, the portrayal of the self, and how gender identity has changed throughout the course of modern history. It will examine representations of womanhood from Romantic Idealism to Post-Modernism and will also
In addition, I will examine the differences between male and female sexuality and how each tended to be perceived and treated by society. Then, I will look at prominent female artists and their personal experiences and beliefs on feminism and the female in their art focusing on how it tended to be received along how male artists responded to it. Mainly, I will be analyzing the clash of sexualized images in art, focusing on the differences not only between male made art versus female art, but the differences in the women’s art community, as well. What are the reasons and goals for women to use a “sexualized image” of women in their art versus

Geoffrey Chaucer, in his novel Canterbury Tales, characterizes twenty four pilgrims on their journey to Canterbury. Ranging from knights to aristocrats to the trade class , the descriptive passages depict his opinions on each traveller. These characters in turn reflect Chaucer’s criticism and attitude towards medieval society, an example of social commentary. One character specifically used to reflect Chaucer's views on Scottish culture, the lower class, and corrupt businessmen is the Miler. In the general prologue, Chaucer reveals an overall negative opinion towards the Miller’s appearance and actions, reflecting his disappoint with aspects of the Middle Ages.
