The Works of Elise de Wolfe,Eleanor Brown, and Dorothy Draper

Dorothy Parker became popular shortly after the first world war with her light verse and short stories. Although her works may not seem harsh and unwomanly today, they were labeled in this manner at the height of her popularity. Her cynical verses developed into something of a national frenzy, while giving the reader the impression that she recklessly stretched a

Courage is a cardinal virtue every human being needs. Courage is doing something frightening you are for the right being even if you are alone in your belief. Many regular humans have used courage also. For example Dr. Martin Luther King jr. stood up for all African Americans, even though almost everyone did not agree with him. He eventually helped end segregation by raising awareness. Sadly, Dr. Martin Luther King jr. was killed just for his beliefs. Today we celebrate a holiday for his great bravery. Bravery is a synonym of courage.

All of these women had an enormous impact on various areas of fashion during the 1920s. Whether in a couture fashion house or on a Hollywood movie screen, they were all able to create or universalize styles that would remain in the fashion industry for many years. In a decade of great change for women, these are a few of the many who spearheaded change through their use of fashion and accessories. They became icons for the many flappers and other women living at this time. Many of them are still remembered and referenced in today's media and

The theorist that I chose is Dorothy Smith. She is a well-known Marxist feminist scholar and activist (Carroll, 2010, p. 1). The reason I chose to write about Dorothy Smith is because her unique approach to feminism and women’s movements interested me, making me want to learn more about her.

The atrocities that the Jews were subjected to during the World War ll are by far the most unjust and unjustifiable crimes in human history. Ellie Wiesel’s testimony is heartbreaking. Seeing Auschwitz’s camp through Elie's eyes is very different from seeing it in any other way. It still seems unbelievable that an entire nation was sentenced to death just because they did not have blue eyes and blond hair. The cruelty that was used to remove the jews from their homes is terrifying. Additionally, removing their identities and dehumanizing them were steps in confining the Jews to a faith that resembles animals waiting to be slaughtered. Finally, the killing that is happening day and night in the gas chambers is beyond the most disturbing and scary

Dorothy Day was born in Brooklyn in November 8th, 1897. Her entire family all took the writing field besides one of her three children. Day describes her young childhood at home as not very loving, especially coming from her father. Anytime she was standing in the presence of her father while she was at home, she remarks, “There was never a close embrace.” (Forest 4). However, it seemed that Day’s mother shared great affection and love for her children unlike her husband. Forest explains, “John, referring to Day’s father, seems to have found it easier to be with horses than with children.” In many books that discuss the life of Dorthy Day, Day’s father seemed to quote at times sayings from the Bible because he seemed to carry the book around

My composer's name is Elisabeth de la Guerra. Elisabeth was born in Paris, on March 17 1665 AD. She was educated at the school French court where her education was supervised by the king’s mistress. Some of the instruments that she played were the recorder, small viols, and the harpsichord. Elisabeth got married to Marin de la Guerra, they moved to Paris after marriage and Elisabeth Jacquet took up a new name Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre. After marriage, she started giving concert classes at home and all through Paris, which made her popular. Though Elisabeth was seriously into composing since 1680, most of her works have been lost.

The Hollywood and La Brea Gateway gazebo was made in the art deco style with materials such as glass, steel, and neon. Hardwicke intended for the piece to acknowledge the different cultural backgrounds of people who helped create the Hollywood we know, while also encouraging an examination of the place. Said Hardwicke:

In 1943, in the midst of World War II, the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory in Hampton, VA seeks to hire hundreds of junior physicists and mathematicians to help in the war effort by supporting engineers in performing aeronautical research as part of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (the NACA). At the time, mathematicians, who are commonly called “computers,” are almost all women. Further, Jim Crow laws are still in place in the South, which means that Hampton is a segregated place. Langley hires some black female computers, but places them in a segregated office called West Area.

Elizabeth Bay house that was built between 1835 and 1839 as the home of Alexander Macleay became one of the Australian historic houses and opened as a museum in 1977. This is a critical analysis of comparing and contrasting between the historic and contemporary design. The first object that has been chosen from Elizabeth Bay house was the ‘cabinet’ (picture 1) that was made for Alexander Macleay in the late 18th century and the second object is contemporary cabinet which is called “Delphine Cabinet” (picture 2) made by the company named Coco Republic design. In this critical analysis, firstly it will demonstrate the detail information of each item. Secondly, it will explain the significance between the two objects that related to the international design movement during their time.

Dorothy Parker was a civil rights activist, journalist and poet of the 20th century. She unfortunately had an unhappy childhood and lost her parents at a young age. Dorothy Parker attended a Catholic grammar school, but at the age of 14 her education came to an end (Academy of American Poets, para. 1). Parker became to be known for her legendary literary figure. In fact Parker worked for several magazines and worked as a book reviewer for The New Yorker.

The Women Trends of this time was Joan Crawford, Louise Brooks and Gloria Swanson who inspired millions of women to copy their clothes, hair and cosmetics, and

Coco Chanel, born on August 19, 1883 in Saumur, France, influenced 1920s fashion greatly through her trademark pieces such as “little black dress” and jersey suits and many more. These key fashion pieces are still very popular in our current day time in women’s fashion. Before Chanel became well known, most women would wear corsets that would leave them feeling stiff to give them more of a hour glass look as well as skirts with long hems that would reach the floor. Chanel went past the social boundaries of most women, and created different and diverse pieces. She disregarded societies idea of

“Design is for living”. The adage fashioned a widespread shift in design during the 1940s and 1950s. It revolutionized the form by creating an electrifying visual language that signaled a new age and a fresh start- two of the powerhouses were Charles and Ray Eames. The Eameses were a husband and wife team whose unique synergy led to a whole new expression in furniture and architecture. The couple advocated the principles of Modernism through the adaptation of innova¬tion from wartime technology .Their design style can be branded as “California Modernism,” a term that is often used interchangeably with “Mid-Century Modernism.” This distinct style embodied an approach to design that opposed the “social conscience” of the Bauhaus in order to embrace looser, warmer design which was both more expressive of local character and in touch with the realities of commerce and salesmanship. With the west-coast coming-of-age, economy shift from making goods to producing information and the global expansion of American culture; their lives and work embodied some of America’s defining movements. They contributed to architecture, film, industrial and graphic design. They were known as pioneers of affordable mass production and residential constructions. The evolution from furniture designers to cultural ambassadors validated their bents and overlaps with country’s interest and projected how design can enhance the lives and practical needs of ordinary people and not just the elite.
