    For the most part, I enjoyed reading Bitch Planet, since the story focused mostly on women and these women were strong, yet at the same time criminals. The dystopian world the book takes place in was a very interesting concept too, being that women are basically treated as slaves to men, and the women we get to learn more about have gone against this in some way. Even the crimes committed by the women were trivial, for example Alika’s crime was labeled as “disrespect.” Basically, every woman on Bitch Planet was simply there because they did not mold into their societal standards, and thus this made them noncompliant and forced to be sent to prison. One pivotal scene is hilariously labeled “The Obligatory Shower Scene” where the women are…

    These come up regularly when Nellie Dean is retelling the story of Wuthering Heights. It shows that women are more emotional and take their time to say something as they possibly feel they cannot express their feelings as widely as they would like to. Men on the other hand bear less consequences for their words and are traditionally understood to display less emotions than their female counterpartsthem or they are guarded and do not show their emotion at all because it is too feminine to do so. Bronte uses syntax as a tool to express feminine emotions that would otherwise be non-existent in Wuthering…

    The role of women in society is an issue discussed throughout The Odyssey by Homer, the Bible, and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft. These texts all illustrate different roles for women in society; however, there are some common ideas between the texts. Since these texts were written at different time periods, The Odyssey first, then the Bible, and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman last, a contributing factor to the differences in the views on the role of women in society is the societal norms held at the time. The Odyssey and the Bible agree with the norms of the time while Wollstonecraft wrote against the gender norms held by society at that time.…

In 1001 Arabians Nights the overall portrayal of women is extremely negative.…
