Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper"
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page essay that discusses the short story classic. The writer argues that Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" can be understood as offering a multifaceted reflection of Victorian patriarchal, imperialist sensibilities as a whole. The narrative deals with the journal entries of an unnamed female protagonist, a wife and mother who descends slowly into seeming insanity. However, the implied characterization of her husband/physician John suggests a poststructuralist interpretation that pictures the narrator in the position of colonial populations who were dominated by Western Victorian men, such as John.

Gloria Anzaldua
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper that discusses the fascinating career of this extraordinary writer. The life of Gloria Evangelina Anzaldua (1942-2004) was remarkable, as she was a "poet, thinker and activist," who death robbed the world far too soon of a vibrant intellect and a compelling writer (Oboler 296). Anzaldua will be remember as a feminist and also as a lesbian who wrote compelling about gay rights and argued persuasively for toleration and love. However, among her many accomplishments, her contribution to the "collective examination of the tenuous location of Latinas and Latinos within the contours" of American culture is perhaps where she will be remembered best.

Group Dynamics Proposal: Gender Tolerance Groups in a Military Environment
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 9 page group proposal discussing the possibility of establishment of gender tolerance sessions within the regular course of military training. An increased population of women in the military should be reflected by gender tolerance activities within a working team environment. By combining group dynamic research in regards to business organizational structures and mentoring aspects which have proven more beneficial in regards to diversified groups, the group leader would hope to establish not only increased gender tolerance and awareness through education and group activities but by forming smaller groups within the sessions comprised of two group faultlines (age/experience and gender), the sessions would provide an opportunity for the members to gain valuable social, professional and working team skills within a mixed gender environment.

Heterosexuality in Male Dominance
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the origin and nature of male dominance as promoted by Nancy Chodorow, Catherine MacKinnon, and Gayle Rubin, and answering the question, “Would ending heterosexuality end gender?” Ending heterosexuality could have the effect of ending gender in the sense that one would not be dominant over another.

Hildegard of Bingen: Attitudes Toward Men And Women
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Hildegard of Bingen was considered a trendsetter of her time; not only did she speak openly of sexual relations between a man and a woman, but she addressed myriad other topics that, up until her literary candor, had only been discussed in private. One area in particular that Hildegard approached with vehemence and resolution is that of the importance of men and women within the context of society. These attitudes are generally equal in respect; however, the one point the can be argued as being more significant than the others relates to her opinion of Adam and Eve. In Causeae et Curae, she argued that if Adam had succumbed to the serpent instead of Eve, the original sin thus created would have been too strong to be overcome at all. Otherwise, she believed that the roles both men and women assume within the social environment are complementary, both required for the proper functioning of society. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

How Are Basic Elements Of The World-View Of A People Or Group Embodied In The Stories They Tell?
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Basic elements of world-view are exhibited in many fashions, however, none are more vivid and palpable than those put forth through stories. That a writer can envelope his or her reading audience by way of the written word speaks to the power of authored communication and the manner by which it can easily portray the struggle of an entire people. Zora Neale Hurston's Mules and Men exposes myriad components of the author's world-view such as racism, poverty and cultural identity -- which is readily interchangeable as a representation of the overall black community -- however, a more subtle but just as important aspect of her perspective is that of being a powerful black woman amidst the oppression of an intolerant society. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

How Women Are Perceived According To The Kaballah And Jewish Mysticism
[ send me this paper ]
30 pages in length. Women and religion have shared a long yet challenging relationship throughout the ages. Not unlike virtually all other global religions, Jewish women have experienced the oppressive nature of a patriarchal society wherein the decidedly male overtones of daily life served to construct her very being. Kaballah and Jewish mysticism, however, afforded women a bit more recognition as far as gender respect and contribution was concerned, focusing upon the value of women within the home atmosphere and the extent to which they were instrumental in nurturing the children within the context of Judaism.

Hunger as a Metaphor /Sexual Desire
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page research paper that examines food and hunger as cultural metaphors. Food is a basic need. It fulfills the biological requirements of hunger, but it fulfills broader cultural goals as signified by the numerous metaphors that surround its use. Susan Bordo, in her essay "Hunger as Ideology," addresses the numerous metaphors that employed for hunger in American society, particularly in regards to advertising. A pivotal point in Bordo's discussion is how hunger and food are frequently featured in advertising and culture as terms that are synonymous with sexual desire, particularly in regards to women. This examination of this metaphorical relationship between sex, desire, food and femininity demonstrates that the extent to which this metaphor describes a cultural perception, but it also demonstrates the limits of this metaphor in regards to the manner in which it overlays the deeper context of society's fears about female sexuality. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Ibsen & Gilman/Women's Place in Society
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page essay that contrasts and compares the narratives of Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll's House and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper." The writer argues that these works portray the subjugated position of women under nineteenth century patriarchy, and that a close reading of these works reveals not only that the female protagonist in each work feels compelled to rebel against the social restrictions that circumscribe their lives, but that the patriarchal framework of society serves, in general, to keep husbands and wives alienated from one another, preventing the true intimacy that is the bedrock of a successful marriage. No additional sources cited.

Ibsen Meets Euripides (Nora and Medea)
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp). Remember some old saying that you heard
as a kid: The more things change, the more they
stay the same. As a kid the phrase did not make a
lot of sense, and by the time you were an adult,
you did not want it to be true, let alone make
sense. There is that same thread of commonality in
both of the female "heroes," in this discussion:
society has determined what their roles are and
how long they are to enact them. Enter Nora and
Medea, who both prove to have minds of their own.
