In the article “Shit White Feminists Need To Stop Doing” by Anne Theriault describes white feminism as feminist women who are cisgender and white only fighting for issues that directly affect their lives, while ignoring issues that affect women of color, LGBT women, and disabled women. Theriault claims at the beginning of her article that she is a feminist herself, yet effectively insults and oppresses other women throughout…

How far do you agree with the view that the women in Tennyson’s poems are presented as victims in a male world? In “The Lady of Shallot” Tennyson portrays the lady as somewhat of a victim by being trapped in her room weaving as if she leaves she will break an elusive curse she is under. In line 63 we see that “she hath no loyal knight and true” this implies to us that she is utterly alone in her world and whether she stays or leaves men have set up a world she is doomed to fail by growing old…

Written during this time period, “The Yellow Wallpaper” and “Trifles” are works that portray women as…

the 1990s noir heroines, the female protagonists experienced another cultural change in gender roles. The 1990s noir more angry female protagonist rose to the surface while third-wave feminism was impending, and as discussed before, following up as a kind of critique to the second-wave. The third phase of feminism destabilized the earlier constructs, and an appealing sexuality while also being self-reliant and clever, was not considered to identify with male oppression (Genz & Brabo, 2009, p.…

says, “Feminism isn’t about making women stronger. Women are already strong. It’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength.” Women alone are strong and don’t need a man’s help to make them become powerful. What is feminist analysis? These words closely examine how male dominance and female powerlessness manifest themselves in specific aspects of society through a text.
