    When the twin towers crumbled towards the ground on September 11, 2001, the lives of Muslim women who wore hijabs in America drastically changed. Fifteen years went by and Sahar Aziz reminds us that the issues of discrimination are still present by bringing to our attention that “After September 11, 2001, the stereotype of Muslim women as terrorists, coconspirators, or aiders and abettors to their male terrorist family members has superseded the stereotype that they are oppressed, subjugated, infantile beings, without individual agency who need to be saved by upper-middle-class white American women” (390). We learn from Aziz that America views women of Islam as terrorists, conspirators, oppressed, and subjugated while it is also mentioned that…

    Among the misogynistic ideas that were prominent during this time, women were considered inferior in the field of education. Many authors published works that suggested women should learn only enough to be a good mother. One such writing is Thomas Jefferson’s letter to Nathaniel Burwell, in which he speaks about his opinions on women’s education, saying, “Considering that they [women] would be placed in a country situation... I thought it essential to give them a solid education, which might enable them, when become mothers, to educate their own daughters” (Jefferson 502). This establishes the stance that women should be educated only up to the point where they can educate their daughters sufficiently.…

When a partner with abusive tendencies feels out of control due to financial stress, job loss, day to day familial responsibilities, etc domestic violence has a higher risk of occurring than compared to a couple without these stressors.
