Wonder Women Wonder Woman

In the early 1900 club women, who mainly affiliated with Republicans, focused on developing skills to be a good mother, run a home and take care of the children. Deborah White Grey explains, Mary Hill Terrell is one example of a club women in the early 1900, who “writes regularly about characteristics, virtues, and perils of womanhood.” (154). The idea of uplifting women to better the race was the fundamental principle may club women agreed upon. In the 1930, the women’s clubs supported an increase for racial solidarity, promoted by the New Negro Movement. Club women during this time focused on political and economic awareness and demanded an increase in citizenship rights on a national level. Bethune, a club women in the 1930’s, was an example of the change that had taken place. She and the Council, focused on “the entry of black women into the practical work of broker politics” (155) During this time there was a focus on professional upliftment and getting women into national and international citizenship roles.

“All of us were working for so many movements at that time. Everyone was involved with the women's movement, the peace movement, the civil-rights movement. We were all radicals. I believe that's what brought it around,” she later told Workers World Service. “You get tired of being just pushed around.”

Although this change occurred, women still had three more issues to address and wanted movement for : The right for a change against gender discrimination. A case study in 1971 against a woman called Irene Murdoch, who was fighting for gender discrimination to be changed for women. Irene went to the supreme court to fight a case about how she was slaved and underpaid….. While working beside her husband to build a ranch. She built a case for justice for women to be paid for their work, and equal pay.

Woman activists emphasized the contribution that other women could make in tackling issues such as public health and safety, schools, women’s rights, child labor, and dangerous work conditions. Focusing on issues that appealed to women as wives and mothers, and promoting the notion that women were particularly good at addressing such concerns, the female activists practiced what women’s historians call maternalist politics. Female social reformers between 1890 and World War I created new spaces for themselves in local and then national government even before they had the right to vote. They carved out new opportunities for paid labor in professions such as social work and public health. Maternalists also stressed the special needs of poor women and children in order to build support for America’s early welfare state. Women working in national organizations such as the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union and the Young Women’s Christian Association helped single women in American cities. A moral-reform motivated many women and organizations in their involvement of a national ban of alcohol and against prostitution. However, social welfare took on the greatest urgency. Networks of middle-class and wealthy women addressed how these social programs affected women and children. Local women’s clubs turned to addressing the crises of the urbanized society. African American women’s clubs affiliated with the National

Challenging both the control of the rich and indifference to the needs of poor in state legislature, she supported much legislation for social justice, such as eliminating child labor, making school attendance mandatory, limiting the working hours of women, recognizing labor unions, and securing safe working conditions. As an avid feminist, she also encouraged women's suffrage, believing that women should not only have the right to vote but also harbor and follow their own ambitions. She represented this belief in her passionate and lifelong work towards solving the social issues in

Beginning in 1900, Alice Paul focused all of her time and energy into fighting for women’s suffrage. In 1926, she created her own party, called the National Woman’s Party. Members of the NWA were thrown in jail, beaten, and forcibly fed all in the name of suffrage. When news of their condition reached the public’s ears, their release was demanded and “sympathy for the [women] brought many to support

Concerns about social and economical problems were not surprising for women. Since the Antebellum era, middle class black and white women engaged themselves in various organizations that provoked civic activities. These were all related to the social and moral welfare of those less fortunate. Temperance, abrogation, and noble amend activities were under the control of women politics before the Civil War. By the 1870s, females were enlarging their prestige organizations such as the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA), which assisted females that were on their own in America’s cities. During the Progressive time, a incorruptible-reclaimed agenda motivated many females; such organizations

Athena was fierce and brave in battle. She was Zeus’ favorite child. She was not born of a mother rather sprang full grown and clad in armour from Zeus’ forehead. She was the goddess of reason, arts, literature, and intelligent activity.

The origin of women’s liberation began in the 18th century with the World‘s Anti-Slavery Convention of 1840 where delegates Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott were attending with ones husbands in London (McMillen, 2008). The credential committee ruled that women were unfit for public and business meetings (McMillen, 2008). The ladies were moved to a segregated area which

The 2nd comic that I want to analyze is titled, “Drawing Bodies" by Liza Donnelly. Unlike the first comic, this comic is not divided into three panels. Instead, the comic is centered in the middle. The comic illustrates two girls playing dress up with their Barbie/American girl dolls. At the bottom of the comic, the caption states, "When are you thinking of losing your self-esteem?".

The speaker of the the comic is Bethany Martin/Purple Freedom and, first person point of view as bethany tells her story and why see became Purple Freedom. The Occasion is modern day American , and flipping back and forth to from Bethany's story of fighting for veterans rights and an impending battle with Alignment core. The audience of the comic is geared to people who like Anti Hero and me vs the world comics, because while Bethany fights for good cause she not afraid to cross the line for the right reason. The comic is also center around her taking on the VA and letter Alignment Core by herself to start. The purpose of the comic is to inform people that there are problems in the VA with wait lists that need to be addressed. The subject is the issue of VA wait list , but you can also see a theme that one person can make a change, because if it wasn't for Bethany's father their would be know bill H014 and Bethany wouldn't even be in the fight to help the bill.

In this paper I will analyze two characters in two separate works, one from a literary text and one from a film. The focus of this paper will be on heroes that have a relationship to an element of mythology. I will use the character Odysseus from Homer’s epic poem, “The Odyssey” and the character Wonder Woman from the American superhero film “Wonder Woman”. In this essay I will analyze the gender, appearance, actions, and roles that these heroes have. Throughout this essay, I will also discuss the negative characteristics that both these heroes have, such as their violent actions towards others. Heroes possess numerous qualities that make them great, however, there are certain qualities of a hero that are consistent throughout Greek mythology; bravery, intelligence, and strength. These qualities are significant to these two Greek Mythologies because these heroes are known to bravely risk their lives for others, using their wisdom to guide them, all while fighting strongly for what they believe in. This paper will serve to prove that regardless of the gender of each of these personas, the characteristics that define a hero remain consistent.

Children always looking for a positive role model to have, and many end up choosing superheroes they see in their favorite comic books or ones they have seen in the media. Since children are so easily affected by things they see in their childhood, having discriminatory elements in these influential characters may be problematic. “The Wonder Woman Precedent: Female (Super) Heroism on Trial” written by Julie D. O’Reilly, was published in the Journal of American Culture in 2005. O’Reilly is a professor of communication and women and gender at Heidelberg University. In “The Wonder Woman Precedent”, she writes about the hardships that female superheroes in the media must face that male superheroes do not go

Starting in the 1980s, the character of Lois Lane changed drastically, she becomes more career driven and independent. During this time, there was an emphasis on feminism moreover, women were pushing for individual independence. Authors were aware that women were becoming more independent, thus they illustrated Lois Lane in a similar light. Stories during this time had an “…overwhelming stress on fashion and romance traditionally feminine concerns”, therefore the authors were aware they had a promising female audience(Williams). Male authors wanted to capitalize on “the fact that young girls read Lois Lane gives added meaning to the nature of its representation of femininity and female friendship”(Williams). They saw female viewership increase,

Women have not always been as respected in society as they are now. In early America, women were banned from participating in most parts of society and their lives were mainly controlled by their fathers and husbands. While the women’s rights movement can be tracked as far back as 1850 is wasn’t until the early 1960s that
