The research literature has been somewhat inconsistent regarding PMS. The prevalence of PMS fluctuates dramatically depending on the report methods. Retrospective studies have found rates as high as 97%, while prospective studies have found rates as low as 3% (Sveinsdottir, Lundman, & Norberg, 2002). However, different methodologies and different populations could account for a large amount of this variation thus suggesting that PMS is not a purely biological phenomenon. Over the last decade, there has continued to be a large emphasis on PMS within the western culture. It has been theorized that PMS is a cultural-bound syndrome, in which women of western societies label any changes that occur during the late luteal phase as abnormal (...
From 1960 to 1990 the women’s movement in Canada played a significant role in history concerning the revolution of women’s rights. Although it was a long road coming for them, they were able to achieve the rights they deserved. Women struggled for equality rights to men but primarily their rights as a person. Since the 1960s women’s rights had significantly changed, they had to work hard for the rights that they have in the present day. Females across the nation started speaking out against gender inequality, divorce, and abortion. This uprising coincided with the Women’s Movement. Through the Royal Commission on the status of women they were able to gain equality rights and they were able to have access to legal abortions through the Charter Rights of Freedom and obtain no-fault divorce through the Divorce Act of 1986.
The first primary source I chose was written by Margaret Sanger. Margaret was a white woman that came from a working class family. She also had a very strong background in being an advocate for women's rights to birth control. Sanger even lander herself in jail for giving contraceptives to women. Margaret’s background with birth control might have influenced her writings because she had a first hand experience with the subject. This source is informative and the intended audience is for all women. Knowing that the audience is directed toward woman helps me know what perspective to look at her writing. The document is about woman’s freedom over her body. The document talks about how women
Just a few lines to tell you that this article is all about myself - for no other purpose do I write. I make no apologies for being egotistical. This article is for the ladies, not to preach or to persuade but just a good old fashioned yarn.
It makes one wonder how society came to these ridiculous standards of beauty and the taboo of talking about women's bodies that still resonate today. I can personally attest to the uncomfortableness of the conversation of menstruation and developing bodies. My mother was taught, as her mother before and so on, that these conversations are to be kept in private and talked about quietly. In response to this, the power of men have an increasingly strong hold on the ideal physical beauty and how the changes of the body, such as menstruation, be in private and never spoke of. The Body Project gives a disturbing look at how women in the past few centuries and the present should act, look like, and keep hidden in response to what men think is most desirable. No matter how free women think they are, we are still under the control of men even if it is not directly. This book opens the conversation on the problems that are still plaguing women and how society needs to change to have a healthier environment for women to be comfortable in their
The first wave of feminism gained women the right to vote which led to fight for equality with men. Emmeline Pankhurst is considered by many to be the most influential leader involved in the Women’s Movement in the early 20th century, due to of her role in the formation of the WSPU and their active protest for women’s rights. Her militant tactics have been perceived as being central to the first wave of feminism, which began an international movement that still resonates around the modern Western world. This movement has changed the lives of women and accelerated the fight for equality. However women will still continue to fight for financial equality in the workforce.

Menstruation; that regular 4-7 days occurrence in every woman’s life that makes her a woman, from a girl; is often accompanied by a peculiar disgrace associated with it. Even the people with so claimed modern and developed mindsets refuse to talk about it, or embrace it openly. A mark of womanhood, a stepping stone in the life of every woman and a common phenomenon in a woman’s being; menstruation often brings questions with it, that are way too discomforting to be answered or talked about or discussed in public or with friends.
It is "International Women's Day". Lots of buzz around and about it. The protagonist have their ideas to proclaim and the antagonist have their intentions to play. With all this around I simply think to myself, Why a Women's day? Why do we need to celebrate a day for Women ?
Menstruation occurs when spasms in the uterus cause the lining to begin shedding. Having sex, or more accurately, orgasms, creates more muscle spasms in the uterus that push the blood out faster. Want your period to be over sooner? Orgasms! Orgasms!
Women have been considered to be the symbol of strength for many centuries. Women have often been forced to be in charge of the family when the male in the family couldn’t. There are many times during wars that the men have to go off and fight, they leave their women behind. Then these women have to not only continue their responsibilities and take care of their families, they also have to take over the men’s responsibilities. Women also have to leave the people and the places that they love so that they can be with their husband. Many women had to give up a lot so that they could get married and live with those people. A Wagner Matinée, by Willa Cather, shows strength and endurance because the aunt left what she loved, she stayed with her husband, and she went home after the city.
Feminism & women empowerment are issues of table talk these days. Women are being made aware of their rights, their strengths & their equality with men on all the fronts. It is harder for a woman to survive in this big bad world dominated by men. It is even harder for an Indian woman to struggle for her identity in the Patriarchal society. Still , a woman, held in reverence as Goddess Shakti & Saraswati, has the potential to break open all the chains which are drawing her back, to realise her own true self.
