My Yayia Research Paper

The role of American women has changed significantly from the time the nation was born, to the modern era of the 1950s and 1960s. Many people, "... believed that women's talent and energies ... would be put to the better [use] in the new republic." (Clinton 3) Clearly showing that society has seen the importance of the women's talents and that their skills can be very useful, exploited this and thus, the change of the women's role was inevitable. Society has understood that the roles of women played an important role on all parts of life.

It brings up the question: what would a woman that only has a future to be a housewife or housekeeper do with an education? By not taking a woman seriously when she wants to attend school shows that it will be highly likely that an education would be of irrelevant use.

Furthermore, She provides a strong tone that evaluates the potential of a woman. She presents her speech with facts and with confidence and passion. Her tone is trying to motivate young women to act up and take action. Along the way in her speech she makes up a sarcastic tone by claiming that “[women]do not have executive ability, orderly minds, stability, leadership skills, and they are too emotional”(Chisholm, 149). The use of this tone provides affirmation that conveys young women to feel capable of doing anything that men can do. These words don’t define the potential of women nor their abilities. Women are strong, women can take anything, women are smart, women have leadership. Just like Chisholm, women have a voice to speak up and advocate for a change. Throughout her positives tones, she also presents an emotional appeal to the youth who are going to college and are struggling. In reality, some women don’t get the same opportunity as others.“...when a young woman graduates from college…she is likely to have a frustrating and demanding experience ahead of her”(Chisholm, 149). Women face challenges with their eligibility when applying to jobs. Looking for a job is not as easy for women, it takes time and persistence. Unlike men, who are seen as

Then, she wrote the essay “The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House” in order to talk about women and those elements that were ignored: race, sexuality, class, and age. By a patriarchal world, women need a freedom, which allows them to be by active, not in order to be used by passive. White feminists have educated themselves in the past many years, and then how about women of color? As women, there are no differences, so those who are differences need to learn how to stand alone in order to seek a world in which we can all flourish. “It is learning how to take our differences and make them strength(112).” However, is the feminist education only by women could change the situation of the patriarchal

Yakima, Washington is located in the southern part of the state, 142 miles southeast of Seattle and 202 Miles southwest of Spokane, and produces 75% of all the hops grown in the United States. Agriculture plays an important role in both the city's and the state's economy. Some examples of the crops grown here are the following: peppers, corn, beans, apples, peaches, pears, cherries and melons. The surrounding area is a semi-arid desert with four distinct seasons, it rains very little and boasts about its 300 days of sunshine per year. Yakima is the 11th largest city in Washington state, with 93,986 people and it was supposedly named after an Indian chief’s daughter whom built her home on the side of the river Yakama (known now as the Yakima

As a woman myself, it is hard to imagine a time when I would not have been allowed to attend college, let alone be writing this paper. As children most of us heard stories from our grandparent’s about what life was like they were young. I can remember laughing at the thought of “walking up hill both ways” to get to school. With the liberties American Women have today, it is easy to take for granted everything the women before us fought so hard for. It is easy to forget the treatment they suffered in their struggle to bring us to today. In this paper we will examine the lives, struggles, and small victories of women that have led us to

Thomas, and Mrs. Berlinsky each seemed to have a connection when it came to how the education system for women has improved throughout the generations. All three of these women talked about how women in school get unfair treatment when going to school and wearing something different or looking different, and they agreed that it is crucial for women to receive a higher education inorder to be independently stable. Females in todays generation have a lot more access to education then women ever had in the early 1900’s. Females are often times told what to wear or how to look in school, but men are never told how to treat women regardless of what she wears or how her physical appearance is. It is important for females in todays generation to get a good education so that they don’ t have to rely on other people, and so that they can be able to stand up by

“Gender matters everywhere in the world. And I would like today to ask that we should begin to dream about and plan for a different world. A fairer world. A world of happier men and happier women who are truer to themselves,” she writes. “And this is how to start: we must raise our daughters differently. We must also raise our sons differently.”

I understand that my undergrad GPA is less than ideal. Growing up as the only child, I was spoiled and consequently took advantage of the situation becoming a careless and lazy individual, neglecting the needs of others, preferring an easy life, and not seeing the value of having an education. As I grew older, I realized that there was no substance in continuing to live this way. As a member of society, I felt the need to be a contributing member and to do something valuable so that life will start to have a purpose and meaning. Dentistry allows me to achieve this goal. I think every student who applies to a health related profession is doing so because their goal, ultimately, is to help others. I desire most to be a dentist because of the

By trying to attend this prestigious school ,she was challenging the stereotypes of what a woman should be within a society. Initially her parents were unsupportive of her decision, but they came to be conducive and allowed her to attend Oxford. Growing up in a patriarchal environment where women had to act subservient to men, motivated Vera to develop a feminist mindset. Vera Brittain wrote in Testament of Youth, “...which women would no longer be the second-rate, unimportant creatures that they were now considered, but the equal and respected companions of men.” This statement was Vera’s yearning for herself and all women to be recognized as equally capable as men are. Brittain believed that women shouldn't have to live in the shadows of men, especially after the war. During the war, women at home did the jobs men were accustomed to doing and many times performed an exemplary job at it. This in turn proved that women should be considered equally competent as men because they were able to complete many male dominated tasks with efficiency and skill. Despite this past realization, even today, women still deal with the injustices of inequality in comparison to men. An example of this plight would be the gender wage gap in today’s workplace, in which men are still payed higher than women, for the simple reason that they are men. This chauvinist dilemma only validates the

On the afternoon of Timqat, (the Ethiopian orthodox celebration of Epiphany) Ethiopian men wearing headdresses made from the lion’s mane and a cape, play the sport called Yeferas Guks. The men organize themselves in two opposing teams. Then, both the teams throw wooden or bamboo spears at each other, which while riding on the horsebacks. Nowadays, the men protect themselves from the spears with a shield or just glancing back and dodging the lance altogether, however centuries ago they had to rely solely on their skills to escape as there was no armor of protection and the spears were lethal.

Personally, being a feminist, I have always held a notion of the importance of women’s studies in regards to understand the oppression, still existing today, and steps that could be taken to change the inequalities. It has always made me happy knowing that women’s and gender studies has existed, because it means that people are still striving to ask questions and unite with others to find answers and solutions to our oppression. The ethical treatment of women, particularly women of color, needs to be emphasized more in the media. I often believe that American society causes girls and young women to believe they cannot amount to

Yow Wah gwaan- “Out of many, one people”! The country of Jamaica has very a diverse culture that is unlike the United States. Surrounded by clear water with beautiful coastlines on each side, Jamaica is a tourist attraction. Due to my mother being born in Kingston, Jamaica, I have always wanted to study its culture. Located in the Caribbean Sea, Jamaica’s cultural practices are similar and different from my families. This history-filled island country has an exceptional culture and heritage.
