There are many ways which one could interpret the topic of finer womanhood, and indeed the call of womanhood is deep. As females we symbolize suffrage and bravery acknowledging our potentials. All women have a role to fill which varies through the years as culture evolved. Today women are treated and seen with respect and equality. It hasn't always been this way, however, during our nation's early years, a small number of hard working women have competed to obtain women's rights. Because of this cause, every women, regardless of its race, can vote, speak publicly, make self decisions, hold government office, and work outside home. Women utilize these rights as a demonstration of power. As a young lady I have decided to become an early childhood education teacher.

    Women were only second-class citizens. They were supposed to stay home cook, clean, achieve motherhood and please their husbands. The constitution did not allow women to vote until the 19th amendment in 1971 due to gender discrimination. Deeper in the chapter it discusses the glass ceiling. Women by law have equal opportunities, but most business owners, which are men, will not even take them serious. Women also encounter sexual harassment and some men expect them to do certain things in order for them to succeed in that particular workplace. The society did not allow women to pursue a real education or get a real job. Women have always been the submissive person by default, and men have always been the stronger one, and the protector. Since the dawn of time, the world has seen a woman as a trophy for a man’s arm and a sexual desire for a man’s

It is a chance to make an impact and be a hero.

  • Analysis Of This Woman By Joy Davidman

    1645 Words  | 4 Pages

    Although the suffrage movement in 1920 gave women more legal power poet Joy Davidman’s poem, This Woman, highlights the idea that women were still held to certain constraints that she hoped more women would reject in efforts to attain an equal standing within society. With the date of the poem marked as 1938 many facts about an average woman’s life and role in society can be suggested. The country had recently come out of the Great Depression when this poem was written. During this time women proved that they were just as resilient, if not more, than their male counterparts. Yet, women had a clear defined role, given by society, on how they should be even through a depression. So, despite the country having experienced the roaring 20’s which was a time of luxury, easy living, and women having autonomy over their sexuality there were still many restrictive beliefs of how women should look and conduct themselves. Davidman expresses her full awareness of

    Throughout history, women have remained subordinate to men. Subjected to the patriarchal system that favored male perspectives, women struggled against having considerably less freedom, rights, and having the burdens society placed on them that had been so ingrained the culture. This is the standpoint the feminists took, and for almost 160 years they have been challenging the “unjust distribution of power in all human relations” starting with the struggle for equality between men and women, and linking that to “struggles for social, racial, political, environmental, and economic justice”(Besel 530 and 531). Feminism, as a complex movement with many different branches, has and will continue to be incredibly influential in changing lives.

  • Elementary Education Career

    I interviewed my Aunt Karen Hines. I asked her five questions that would give me an idea what it is like to be a teacher. The questions were, “What are the best parts of your job?”, “What are the hardest parts of your job?”, “Was it hard to find a job as a teacher at first?”, “What type/how many years of education did you go through to become a teacher?”, and finally, “Why did you become a teacher?”. Mrs. Hines thinks that the best parts of her job are when the students are successful, understanding, sociable, and excited about learning. She also said, “...for me personally, I enjoy the calendar year of my job…”. Her answer to the second question, about the hardest parts of her job, was motivating students, keeping up with the technology and education method changes, and finding a balance between school and family time. The third question I asked was, “Was it hard to find a job at first?”. Mrs. Hines said, “When I started looking for a job I was in my 40s and I felt that younger people were more desired.” So, she thought that since she was older, it would be harder to find a job, but luckily she found one quickly after she applied. When I asked what type of education, she went through, my aunt replied with, four years of college for education in Elementary Education K-9 and an “endorsement in Language Arts and another in Middle School education.” The final question was why she wanted to become a teacher. The fact that she played school while she was little and how much she loved teaching kids when she was in high school, was a main cause of her becoming a

  • The Role of Women in Society

    Women have always been essential to society. Fifty to seventy years ago, a woman was no more than a house wife, caregiver, and at their husbands beck and call. Women had no personal opinion, no voice, and no freedom. They were suppressed by the sociable beliefs of man. A woman’s respectable place was always behind the masculine frame of a man. In the past a woman’s inferiority was not voluntary but instilled by elder women, and/or force. Many, would like to know why? Why was a woman such a threat to a man?

I was well on my way in my junior year of college working toward a biology degree so that I could become a pediatric physician’s assistant. I still cannot explain what happened, but one week I was a biology major, and the next I knew that I have always been meant to teach children. I suppose I just took the longer route to get there than most people do. The two main reasons that I have chosen to become a teacher is that I believe that teaching is extremely personally rewarding in many ways and the fact that I can actively make a difference in someone’s life.
