In order to seek solace and comfort, most bachelors started to gamble and visit prostitute houses. This massively distracted them from working in the…

Chopin describes the fury at which she worked at the sewing machine: “She sat at a side window, sewing furiously on a sewing machine. She was greatly occupied and did not notice the approaching storm” (Chopin 105). Contrary to the expected norms at the time where Calixta was expected to have very few or no occupation at all besides looking after one’s husband and family, she seems to be doing quite fine in ameliorating her personal interest in sewing. She is also quite adept at taking good care…

Gender in the Bush Poe said that a short story is like a house, take one brick out and none of it will make sense (Griffiths, Lecture).

Henry Lawson’s short story “The Drover’s Wife” follows a heroic woman protecting her children during a snake attack in the midst of a thunderstorm. Set in the bush, it offers a surprising depiction of the strength and fortitude…
