    Amy Cunningham, an editor and author from New York, wrote an article “Why Women Smile” to emphasize on how women are no longer smiling because it is a natural thing, but rather an everyday habit.

    Another issue that the writer seemed to have swept below the carpet is the morality of women. First, women seemed to have been despised until they started excelling in mass advertising. Also, the author seems to peg the success of the modern woman to clothing and design. This means that women and cloths are but the same thing. In fact, it seems that a woman’s sex appeal determine her future endeavours, according to the author. It is through this that I believe that the author would have used other good virtues of women to explain

  • Women In The Weimar Republic

    319 Words  | 1 Pages

    During the time period in which the Weimar Republic controlled Germany from 1919 to 1933 there is a fundamental change in how women participated in their community in both political and in private matters. This fundamental shift in the behavior of women garnered individuals who lived during this era the title of the “New Woman” of the Weimar Republic. In order for women to earn a title like this that defined a specific generation would imply that there was an emphasis on women who implemented drastic changes in the values, appearance, privileges, and actions they partook in while living during this time period. These changes would go on to inspire other women causing a cycle that would leave the current generation in a vastly different place

  • A Jury Of Her Peers Rhetorical Analysis

    A story of murder, fear, and the temptation of betrayal is one that easily snatches up the attention of audiences. In “A Jury of Her Peers” by Susan Glaspell, the author uses her southern female characters to emphasize the direct relationship between friendship and connection. Her plot circles around the disastrous discovery of their fellow housewife’s marital murder, and the events that unfolded causing their ultimate decision in prosecuting or shielding her from the men in the story. The author implements revealing dialogue and glaring symbolism to display the coveted relationships among the women, and the paths they take to personally understand the situation at hand with their own personal connections.

  • Barbara Ehrenreich's What I Ve Learned From Men

    654 Words  | 2 Pages

    She criticizes the soft and nice nature of women, and blames herself for being too ladylike. From her experience, she implies that women are inferior and defenseless, and accuses females of being too nice and caring. However, I disagree with how the author portrays women based on her own experience. To me women must embrace the fact that they’re born with such amazing nature. They do not need to be taught what toughness is. They are innately strong. They do not need to be like men in order to succeed, because men have their insecurities too. In fact if women were not strong God would not have chosen them to carry a human being for nine month and endure the pain of labor. Margaret Thatcher Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the Leader of the Conservative Party once said that:” If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done ask a woman” by that I can say that a woman is better at holding responsibilities. However I agree with Ehrenreich when she says at the end “I walk out-slowly, deliberately, confidently. Just like a man. Or- now that I think of it – just like a woman” (232) Here the she relates the word “tough” to women and by that we understand that we cannot learn something from men except the ridiculous things as she previously noted in the introduction “What else

  • The Media And Gender Stereotypes In The Media

    2330 Words  | 5 Pages

    Steffen’s article, “Gender Stereotypes Stem From the Distribution of Women and Men Into Social Roles”. In this article, they discuss the root of gender stereotypes being derived from the unequal distribution of roles for men and women in society. They believe too many women are left to be “homemakers” while men become professionals. This is evident in Survivors as the show chooses to have Abby take on this maternal role. This unequal distribution of roles then, in turn, leads to men and women being labeled with certain qualities. According to Steffen and Eagly, women are believed to have communal qualities, or “manifested by selflessness, concern with others, and a desire to be at one with others”, and men agentic qualities or, “self-assertion, self-expansion, and the urge to master” (Eagly, Steffen 736). Abby epitomizes this desire to help others and selfness, while the surrounding men are less likely to trust others by questioning the actions of other men in the
