Congresswoman Betty McCollum has been representing the fourth congressional district since the turn of the century and has effectively represented the bias of her of constituents in the House of Representatives. McCollum has an “almost perfect liberal voting record” as illustrated in Fig 1.5 which is more progressively liberal than her Democratic predecessor, Bruce Vento (Almanac) (Govtrackus). On Betty McCollum’s personal campaign website, she boasts being a champion for the social liberal…
The Journey of Growing Old The American writer Betty Friedan once said: "Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength." It was interesting to have the opportunity of interviewing someone in the late adulthood stage because it gave me insights to understand my mother and the challenges she may be facing during her journey of growing old. The person I interviewed for this paper is a white male age 58 named Wayne. Wayne was born in Seattle, Washington. He was raised in a…
she is opposed to conforming to gender stereotypes. Because of her experiences with gender bigotry, Esperanza wishes to be free of misogyny and become successful on her own in order to live in the affluent community of her dreams. In an excerpt from Betty Friedan’s book, The Feminine Mystique, she writes that instead of having dreams, “all [a woman] had to do was devote their lives from earliest girlhood to finding a husband and bearing children” (Friedan). Friedan uses sarcastic irony to…
Question 1-A This source was written by Betty Friedan who wrote to signal a revival for the women’s movement. Betty Friedan was known to be an American housewife, writer, feminist, and a political activist during her time. When Friedan wrote about “The Problem That Has No Name” in 1963, it was part of a larger book Friedan classified as The Feminine Mystique. This book was a result of Friedan’s own experience regarding the workforce and maintaining a family. Supposedly, after Freidan graduated…
The Feminine Mystique The search of identity is an issue familiar to contemporary society as well as to the society of 1963 when, Bettye Naomi Goldstein, better known as Betty Friedan, published her manifesto The Feminine Mystique. Friedan was born in 1921, forty-two years before she wrote her absolute phenomenon that would leave an imprint on the world forever. Growing up, Friedan knew she was unlike the other girls who wore dresses and did work that women were “supposed” to do. Perceiving…
According to The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan, the world wouldn’t be where it is today if women had not fought for right’s equal to men. Women were under the so called “Feminine Mystique”, and the only practical way to get out was to understand that these women were not alone. Betty Friedan opened closed doors to women and helped them realize what they were missing in life, a purpose. Betty Friedan was a leading women’s rights’ activist during the mid-1900’s. She was mother of three…
In my last paper I talked about the role of visual media, particularly photographs, in social movements. I wanted to stay along this theme of media, but a different subunit this time. Media as a whole interests me, from videos, to photographs, blogs etc. Books, though, are not often considered media. Upon inspection, however, in the past they have had as much effect, if not more, as other media forms. Mass marketed books have the ability to prompt critical thinking, by questioning norms and what…
who I will call Betty Boop, has really opened my eyes for my future. Betty Boop is truly an inspiring person who has touched my heart. For my last journal, I am going to talk about chapters eight through fourteen in my textbook, Adult Development and Aging by John Cavanaugh and Fredda Blanchard-Fields. First, I asked Betty Boop if she has met her personal goals over the years. She had to stop and think about this as we were at the bowling alley having a good time. After Betty Boop bowled,…
The women’s movement goes so much further than treating a female as though she is no longer just a figment of someone’s sexual representation of her in one’s brain. To get to the point where we are in modern society has been a struggle. A struggle that so many strong men and women have worked towards; some never even getting the chance to see the fruit that had grown from the tree that they had planted. In present day, the definition of a women varies depending on who you talk to and what…
