    Since the beginning of time, society has had rigid criteria for men and women with their roles blatantly labeled as either masculine or feminine.

    Have the roles of men and women who evolve from boys and girls changed since colonial America to the antebellum eras? To answer this question, we must not only examine the roles of men and women, but the roles ascribed to their specific gender during their youth. Through advice literature the reader can see the disparities between gender roles as it relates to the status and education of European men and women alike. Advice literature also shows the dynamics of the household by depicting boys as being groomed for their role of putting the public good first, before self-desires, while girls were taught the qualities of a wife- learning to perform household duties and placing her family before herself. Because women were subjugated to shadowing…

    In the story, “Cooking Lessons” by Rosario Castellanos, a Mexican poet and author, known for her articulate writings about gender oppression which influenced feminist theories, uses food images to reflect gender roles. Castellanos also uses an interior monologue to represent the fact that women have no voice and are expected to just do and know certain things as opposed to men, for example, cooking. Eloquently written, Castellanos illustrates the inner thoughts of an educated and independent woman who has to forget all she knows and enter a unknowing world where she must depend on a man and take on the traditional role of a woman; a housewife. The nameless narrator stands starring hopelessly into a kitchen not knowing what to do or where…

    Set in the 1950’s, the film follows Katherine Watson, a socially progressive and unmarried 30 year old college graduate, who takes a position teaching “The History of Art” at Wellesley College, a conservative women’s private college in Massachusetts, and her struggles to make a difference, both in the lives of her students and generations to come. In this paper I will examine how the film challenges gender stereotypes, investigates the sexist values of society at the time, and how it illustrates that certain expectations for women have changed over time, and some have remained the same The film shows the ideal 1950s woman as a pretty and multi-talented wife: a mother, a cook, a maid, a trophy, and perhaps most important of all -- a homemaker. Marriage is prioritized over most things, including education, careers, personal goals, and happiness. Women are expected to sacrifice whatever is necessary in order to become a wife, and women who do not are widely regarded as unfulfilled, having failed their sole purpose in life.…

    Feminism is regarded through various perspectives and while some view it as the idea that women and men deserve the same amount of respect, others regard feminism as a notion that women deserve to be superior to men. In Laura Esquivel's Like Water For Chocolate, set mainly in the De La Garza kitchen during a Mexican revolution, stereotypical roles and standards that society has imposed onto women, such as the preparation of food, are used to transcend social barriers of gender norms. As the story takes place during a time when women were still fighting to achieve gender equality, Esquivel contradicts the setting by presenting strong female figures, leading the reader to question previously held preconceptions about the capabilities of women. The text proves that female gender stereotypes aren't always representative of passive femininity but can also be used to subvert female social norms. This essay explores the limitations of gender conformities as well as the way in which they can be embraced to transcend female stereotypes.…

    According to Woolf, who advocates the idea of androgenism in a Room of His Own, especially in the impossibility of writing as a single genus, "It is murderous to be male and female in an innocent and simple manner; the person must be masculine-woman or feminine-male. " Woolf called the women to kill the "angel in the house," saying that women must have their own room to write. In this way, liberal feminism seems to have spoken a word about the house in the private space left without touching it. However, economic, class and racial differences between women come from ignorance, and they are both condescending. Sufrajet describes women who are known for their mobile behavior, who are poured down for voting, as "militant", "strange", "in worn outfits", "wonderful accent" While Woolf associates economic-based inequality with the inequalities that women face, they do not mention or hate them with proletarian women, who serve, ignoring, and serving women who are not of their own circle, race or income group; third-world women are…
