In the poem that I was reading this week called “The Secretary Chant” By Marge Piercy. I feel that after reading it that it’s talking about how the working women were valued in the 60s and 70s, also how women felt dehumanized when it came to their work.

phoenix of Judea-Christian theology, the deistic god, thrown from his throne. Three, and most worrying of all for the authors we consider, old doubting Descartes’ third meditation fails; he cannot get the world back; his introspection becomes the mere navel-gazing of a…

The people of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are considered peculiar by people both within the church and non-members. This may be for different reasons but I think most people can tell that those of the LDS faith are unlike most other people in this world.
