in exploring the patriarchy, it holds a much deeper historical background. Before the first wave of feminism women were considered to be largely incapable and for that reason, remained oppressed under the patriarchy. According to an essay entitled Women’s Role in Society in the 1800’s, “During the 1800’s a husband had legal authority over their wife. In a sense, he owned her, and for that reason, women had little respect in their culture”. This quote gives a little bit of insight as to why women…

In last ten recent years, I have worked as a trainer, artist and I have also the experience of being a women’s rights activist. These experiences have provided me the opportunity to develop my skills in communication, participatory teaching, group work, social performance and behavior flexibility. Since I started teaching at the university I realized that the boring, solid and traditional methods of teaching are neither interesting nor useful for students. As a result, I started to use new and…

From young witch to women’s rights activist, my admiration for Emma Watson has yet to wane. She is undoubtedly deserving of the high esteem I hold for her. A well-known actress, Watson has stood out not only for her roles as a know-it-all witch and troubled teen, but as a heavy advocate for gender equality. At but age 26, Watson has made her mark and become a role model for girls and women around the world. I can only hope that I can one day make as much of an impact on someone as she has on me.…

Prior to the Civil Rights movement, slavery was the fulcrum which held society together as a whole helping to characterize women of the South. Slavery would later be considered the underpinning of the South in cultural, political, and spiritual aspects. Everything was constructed around slavery. A person’s class was determined by two things: race and gender. A clear distinction was always made: White slave owners sat atop of the totem pole, while black female slaves remained at the bottom,…

Her strong belief in peace was one of the reasons why she became a huge supporter of socialist politics. She had very strong opinions on politics and social issues. She spoke out about women’s suffrage, pacifism, and birth control. Originally, the media was very nice and…

What are women's right considered to be? Freedom of speech; yes. Freedom of religion; yes. Pursuit of happiness; yes. The ability to vote; yes. The access to an abortion seems to be a question everyone is divided on. My answer to that question is that an abortion is not a right. Abortion is not the answer for these reasons, the way abortions are performed are barbaric, the baby has individual rights a human's life is not disposable at convenience. Besides when can the baby not be considered to…

The first day I was told about sexual assault was the day it happened to a girl in my second grade class. I was seven, she was eight, and I remember asking my mom why she hadn’t been at school for the past week or so. The conversation we then had was confusing, saddening, and, above all, terrifying. When we had finished talking, the final point I was left with hurt for inexplicable reasons: be careful. My mom meant well in telling me to check my drinks at parties and to move aside on the…

Negative stereotypes about anything always drive people away from a subject; I will be discussing the truth behind the lies about feminists and explaining just how ridiculous the stereotypes are. Drawing upon Valenti’s (2013) theory of how stereotypes come to be and how they are used, I will be elaborating on why these negative views about feminism exist, especially the view that all feminists are ugly. The attitudes regarding feminism will be addressed using hooks’ (2013) analysis of why many…

Feminism Feminism has been a controversial topic since 1800’s when Women Rights Movement was started. In most of the cases, people misinterpret the term that creates conflict and confusion. The people who believe in this concept are of the view that men and women in society should have equal opportunities and status in society. Society is also believed that certain groups such as women are mistreated in their lives. Society is segregated when it comes to feminism. We can witness a large number…
