Bederman explains that the concept of what it means to be a man is ever changing as a result of the ideology of the time as well as the material actions of the men.

Not only does she harbor fatal flaws of loneliness, alcoholism, and pride, the influence of her animalistic brother-in-law, Stanley, perpetuates her demise, eventually leading to what some critics perceive as “insanity.” From the very beginning, Blanche DuBois attempts to conceal her tragic flaws through a facade: of Virgin Mary like innocence and purity, while underneath her

As Stanley goes to work, Stella holds down the fort as the housekeeper. Stanley even lays a hand on Stella with no consequence. Unmaintained sexual desire runs rampant, Stanley rapes the sister of Stella in the play. Both men and women and men are responsible for the decline of morals previously known. Ultimately Tennessee Williams created
He was a key figure in the developing the concept of childhood development during the nineteenth century. Hall was born in western Massachusetts in 1844, and was the most influential figure behind Williams James in the United Stated during this time (Ross 1972, xiii). Hall was particularly interested in the study of child nature and educational reform. He believed that the key to understanding child development lies in understanding the

Stanley Hall, Erik Erikson and David Bakan and many others whom
theorists emphasized different aspects of the physical and cognitive development of adolescents, but each has been equally important in establishing the understanding of human development that we have today. Rice and Dolgin (2007) explain that G. Stanley Hall focused on the biological aspect of an individual’s development, believing that it mirrors the evolutionary history of their predecessors. With this in mind he likened infancy to an animalistic state, childhood to the state of a hunter and the

Because of Ibn-Al Haythem and Rene Descartes, insight into the development of the brain was continued, and the first psychological laboratory was created by Stanley G. Hall at Johns Hopkins University10. Here, experiments were conducted and many observations with the brain were made. Hall also continued with a major contribution into the field of psychology by creating the American Psychological Association11. This allowed professors of psychology to work together, making

In the 1920s, a new woman was born. She smoked, drank, danced, and voted. She cut her hair, wore make-up, and went to petting parties. She was giddy and took risks. She was a flapper. The "Younger Generation" Before the start of World War I, the Gibson Girl was the rage. Inspired by Charles Dana Gibson's drawings, the Gibson Girl wore her long hair loosely on top of her head and wore a long straight skirt and a shirt with a high collar.

Let us discuss these items and, where applicable, the archaeological support for them. Remaining true to the Anglo-Saxon culture’s affinity for mead (ale/beer/wine), the characters of Beowulf partake frequently of the strong beverage. And the mead hall was their home away from home, with more entertainments than just fermented beverages: “gold and
In Gail Bederman’s book, Manliness & Civilization, she dedicates a whole chapter to the ideas and views of Idea B. Wells. She also writes extensively about G. Stanley Hall, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Theodore Roosevelt. Each of these people takes on a different view of manliness in “civilized” societies.
