    Men back in the early nineteenth century had the misconception that they had higher superiority than women. Women were degraded and could not really express their talents.

    In society, there is always the desire to be “loyal to your sex” (Glaspell), to protect those that one relates to the most. In Susan Glaspell’s short story, A Jury of Her Peers, the characters personify that exact constant by protecting their peers, respectively, as a result of the historical gender segregation. To begin, the women in the short story are not friends, with the narrator of the story stating “She [Martha Hale] had met Mrs. Peters the year before at the county fair… she remembered… that she did not seem like a sheriff’s wife,” (Glaspell) and when it came to the accused, Mrs. Hale felt as if “she could not cross that threshold,” (Glaspell) as a result of her never having visited her, Minnie Wright, in twenty years. As a result, this shows that the women are not bonded socially or emotionally, as they are mere acquaintances. Regardless of their lack of bonding, the women still protected and supported one another.…

    In Arabian Nights, the theme of power runs throughout the entire book as a back bone for many of the stories told. Demons are conquered by man and kings rise to power in many stories. The power of women, however, is a theme that differs greatly from the power of men in the book. Arabian Nights tells tales of women that are depicted as dependent and powerless in many stories, and their autonomy and power is used as a device in a story where they are given it.

    Voltaire’s Candide: Women’s Role in Society Women during the 1700s, the time period during which the novel is set, understood they had very little power; and it was only through men that they could exert any influence. Women at this time were seen as mere objects that acted as conciliation prizes for the gain of power and their sole use was for reproduction. Maintaining the duty of tiding the home and looking after the children, no outlet for an education or a chance to make a voice for themselves. Men acted as the leading voice in society, making all substantial decisions for women. The hierarchy of genders was ever so present and was based on the physical differences between men and women.…

    Feministic Criticism Traditions have woven their way through society for generations whether it be simple family practice during the holidays, or cultural custom that have been passed down through centuries. Shirley Jackson is able to convey deeper meaning through the illustration of a corrupt tradition. Understood through the feminist view, both Gayle Whittier and Fritz Oehlschlaeger emphasize misogyny and the unfair treatment of women within the short story “The Lottery.” The patriarchal society is pronounced in the very first few paragraphs of the story. Right away, it is shown that the young boys playing ignore the call of their mother, but return immediately and without question to the stern demand of their father.…
