are the only advanced nation on Earth that does not guarantee paid maternity leave” (Chappell). It is almost accurately stated that the United States is one the refined countries without guaranteed paid maternity leave because the U.S. has a low percentage of people who receive paid leave altogether. No other country falls lower than the United States in that category. Therefore, I agree in believing those who apply for maternity leave should receive payment while away from the job. Those women…

Paid Maternity Leave in the United States Equality for women, in all aspects of their lives, means progress for humanity as a whole.

There are nine total countries in the world that does not offer paid maternity leave, the U.S is the only developed country on that list. Only certain small sector companies and a handful of big name corporations have paid maternity leave for their…

within our social category. Intersectionality can either give us privilege or reduce privilege depending on which categories we fall into. Each individual’s personal experience in a situation will differ due to intersectionality. In Heather Kuttai’s “Maternity Rolls”, we see how her experience with disability is shaped by her gender, and vice-versa. Although Kuttai does mention that being feminine was important to her prior to her accident, we see how much more important becomes afterwards…

Should Women Be Paid Maternity Leave In the State of Alabama it is not required for an employer to pay a woman maternity leave. In my opinion, women should be paid from their employer for a minimum of six weeks for maternity leave. After all, women carry a baby for nine months and work through the pregnancy as much as they can. The least an employer could do is give them pay for a period of time off to spend with their new born child. I agree with a lot of the laws the State of Alabama has, but…

However, this semester I was introduced to the subject of Nursing of the Childbearing Family Maternity.

reveals the underlying queer aspects of it. Audre Lorde’s “Beams” is a poem that already subtly delivers its meaning but when read from a queer theory point of view, it is even clearer to see the internal struggle faced by the speaker. A decision of maternity versus sexuality is discussed through vivid descriptions of places, people and memories and the poem demonstrates a common struggle for many humans, not only in its time but also in present day. As the poem opens, detailed descriptions of…

amount is rather significant regardless of a family's yearly income, so it is absurd that mother’s are expected to be able to take off a year of work without pay and be financially stable to support a child. The argument against a mother’s lengthy maternity leave is the system of structured early education, but values across varying cultures place a lot of emphasis on the formative time spent between a mother and a child, all of which would be lost due to a mother returning to work shortly after…
