    With its publishing in November of 1942, William Beveridge's Social Insurance and Allied Services Report, known more commonly as the Beveridge Report, established the British welfare state that would come to define the nation throughout the 1950s and 1960s. The principal intent of the report was to outline a series of reforms that could be implemented during the reconstruction of post-war Britain, but it also significantly shaped the gender roles of both men and women in the 1950s. In particular, it highlighted the importance of the post-war British housewife, a female gender role that would come to exert significant power in shaping the identities of 1950s women. Although the Beveridge Report undeniably legitimized the role of housewives as…

    The United States during the nineteenth century can be described in many different ways. Most people will remember it as the time period of the American civil war and the end of legal slavery in southern states. The most defining attribute was the struggle of power between differing races and genders, as the slaves were on the verge of independence, while women across the country made countless efforts to obtain the same freedoms white males enjoyed. 1) In the illustration of “Virginian Luxuries” the message of white supremacy is displayed.…

    Critique can be seen throughout numerous readings that were read and discussed this semester. Women have critiqued other women and they have critiqued men and the patriarchic society. These themes may especially be seen in “The Declaration of Sentiments”, “Halving the Double Day”, and a chapter from Women, Race and Class. “The Declaration of Sentiments” was written primarily by Elizabeth Stanton during the first major women’s convention in Seneca Falls. This convention was conducted to discuss the limited rights that belonged to women and to create the “Declaration of Sentiments”.…

    Women in Combat Odierno states, “If you can meet the standards we’ve established, then you should be able to perform in that position, and that’s where we are headed.” In other words, Odierno asserts that even though you are a woman and want to go into combat forces, if you can meet the standards that have been established you are more than likely able to get into the combat position you’d like. Despite the fact that women should stay at home and fulfill their family needs, women have the right to choose whether or not to be in military forces because standards can be met and gender is nothing but an immutable characteristic. Women are the caretakers, the nurturers, and the one’s that make a house a home.…

    Stereotypes are everywhere in the world. Our ridged expectations of a community are sometimes all we know about that certain group. The students had a preconceived idea about the Harvard students being snobby and the Law students thought the students would not take the task seriously. This chapter really hit on many stereotypes throughout the chapter and how powerful it can be when stereotypes are broken. I would never think to take my class on a field trip to a courthouse to participate in a mock trial.…

    During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, women were expected to live domestic lives while their male counterparts lived public lives. This meant that women were stuck at home doing chores around the home and raising the children while the man of the household went out and worked to make money for the family (Sailus, "Feminism in the 19th Century: Women's Rights, Roles, and Limits”). In the short story “girl” written by Jamaica Kincaid, a girl is being told what her life is going to consist of and how she will have to complete certain tasks around the house to care for her family. Texts can be changed drastically by the amount of historical and cultural background the reader has on the topic addressed in the text. I read this…

Joe Mike was an engineering student at Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, so Sarah dropped out of community college, where she was previously enrolled, and worked as a secretary to help pay for his tuition. Although women did not have careers, it was not uncommon for them to work while their husbands were in college. “It was common in our day for women to help their husbands through school,” she said. After Joe Mike’s graduation, my grandparents moved from Lubbock to Andrews, Texas, a small oil town where Joe Mike worked as a petroleum engineer for Exxon.…
