    Cross-Dressing in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and As You Like It In Shakespeare's plays Twelfth Night and As You Like It both of the lead female characters dress as men.

In Robert Frost’s poem, the theme is to keep working even though obstacles may get in your way.

They are said with demeaning intentions to make you feel lesser for the gender you are. But I say, what’s wrong with being female? Doesn’t that make you stronger? It was fifth grade when, at lunch one day, a couple of my softball teammates and friends walked onto the grass field at our elementary school to a group of boys
