In the course of his prolific literary career, lasting from the 1890s to the 1930s (Hunter 21), Kipling wrote several novels, numerous poems and more than 250 short stories (Malcolm 114).

Male Nurses A Study of Discrimination and Gender Stereotyping For many years, both men and women have tried to overcome gender roles in the workplace. Female nurses have traditionally been the majority and because of this, many of the expectations of the nursing profession seem to favor the feminine roles.

Mina barely lives a life of her own, constantly relying on men to make decisions for her.

However, while it is a female’s physical desire and willingness to trade part of herself to fulfil that desire which causes Laura’s downfall—her own—it is another female’s loyalty and physical sacrifice that saves her—Lizzie’s (Hill 2005, p. 466). In an attempt to buy more of the goblins’ produce to satiate her sister’s magnified hunger, Laura is assaulted by the vile vendors: ‘They trod and hustled her, / Elbowed and jostled her, / Clawed with their nails, / Barking, mewing, hissing, mocking, /

Sand with her piece, “To George Sand: A Recognition.” A poem written during the Victorian era in which she gives a voice to women who were enslaved by society and thanks George Sand for using her platform to defend and inspire women to stand up.

The Victorian Era is a time in history in which societal expectations of men and women were formidably difficult to meet. Societal expectations made it harder for one to succeed in a relationship, causing many people of the time to criticize the societal norm.
