Comparison Of Angelina Jolie And Barbara Mcclintock

Improved Essays
For our project, we were inspired by a few of the most talented women in history, Angelina Jolie, Jane Goodall, and Barbara McClintock to develop our own Frankenstein Super Woman, Angelina Jane McClintock. Firstly, we designed it so that our Frankenstein would be an optimistic woman, adopted from one of the traits of Jane Goodall, a primatologist and anthropologist. Goodall was known to be a positive person, even as a child, persisting to be joyful through the hardships such as rationing, blackouts, and the temporary absence of a father, all due to World War 2. Following our first component, our Super Woman is an incredibly patient person because Goodall, the woman she was based off, cares and watches the tiring and troublesome chimps all day, which we found to be a desirable trait. Angelina Jolie, our second individual, also has beneficial qualities, such as her high maturity. Jolie began acting at the age of 6, a period where the average person wouldn't be mellow enough to be on the stage. In addition, we found Jolie's character of being loving an exceptional feature of the actress, proven by her heartwarming action of donating one-third of her salary to charity.

When she obtained her awards corresponding to acting, she had successfully impacted a few corporate men's opinions on what women could do. As a result, corporate higherups began treating women in a much fairer and more generous way. In addition, when our Super Woman had prospered in the field of science, other peers finally utilized and accepted her work. Thus, she has furthered our knowingness of physiology and amazed others of what a woman that they only considered "feeble" could actually do. In conclusion, Angelina Jane McClintock has influenced many to differentiate their opinion on woman and astonish many, affecting the media's view for the

    In the 1940’s, seeing a woman with a degree was an amazing sight, but having a degree in a field that was overrun by men, that was unheard of, at least, until Elsie MacGill came along. Elsie MacGill was the first woman to get a degree in aeronautical engineering, and she graduated from the University Of Toronto, the University Of Michigan, and the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology with her bachelors degree. Many people believe that she was recognized for her accomplishments, though others believe she was recognized because her husband was a very successful and widely known engineer, and back then according to History.com, “Women were not respected in work fields that were run by men. ”Multiple historian sources claim that these articles…

    “Transgender People in The Media” When thinking about gender and the media, I am immediately drawn to the work of Laverne Cox. As stated in “Bell Hooks: A Conversation with Laverne Cox,” Laverne is an award-winning actress, producer and advocate for not only transgender women, but women of color and anyone who goes against the status quo. For my main source, I have chosen to use the dialogue from the inaugural talk with Bell Hooks and Laverne Cox at The Bell Hooks Institute, “a new center in Berea (Kentucky) dedicated to critical thinking and contemplating the intersectional issues of race, gender, and class” (Hooks 25). This talk that occurred in 2015, highlights what Laverne hopes to accomplish through playing different roles on camera and…

    Laurel Thatcher Ulrich’s essay Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History, is an excellent example of analytical social history, that is aimed to educate other historians, women, and others interested in social history (the history of groups that might not have participated in mainstream life), the intersectionality of women’s history, and pop-culture. Ulrich’s essay uses several rhetorical devices to create a convincing argument for the existence of collaborative history and the importance of social history, within more entrenched historical norms. Particularly, she uses different styles of narration, first focusing on her own personal life, then more typical historical examples, and finishes with a synthesis of her own personal story of historicization…

    Introduction Long before all the laws that got women to be able to do things like get the right to vote, have high paying jobs or even be able to wear clothing that were above their knees, they had to go through many hardships. Beginning in the late 50’s though, the women began to get irritated with the way society was treating them and the inability for them to get a job and be equal with the men (“Women 's Liberation Movement” 2008 December)). Between the years of 1963 and 1970, there was a movement that some women might say was just as important as the suffrage movement. This was called the women’s liberation movement. This movement is still in some ways still going on, and has been for the past 100 years.…

    Any female in the STEM field goes in knowing that she will be a part of the minority. Most girls are told be prepared to be in classes where the majority is boys. Most adults tell them that they should not get distracted by the boys, and their fellow girls say that they are so lucky to be surrounded by boys. It is as if girls cannot be in a class to actually learn, but instead their only focus is on being around boys. A female in STEM is already fighting the stereotype because the STEM field is predominantly male.…

    The monster is inherently “benevolent and good,” but his lonesome journey transforms him into a “fiend” (Shelley 87). The monster describes himself saying, “ ‘My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy; and, when wrenched by misery to vice and hatred, it did not endure the violence of the change without torture, such as you cannot even imagine’ ” (Shelley 209-210). Created with an instinctive need for nurture from his creator, the monster was not capable of living alone in his society. In Stephen Gould’s view, “Frankenstein 's creature… is, rather, born capable of goodness, even with an inclination toward kindness, should circumstances of his upbringing call forth this favored response.”…
