Women's studies

In this article I have presented a critical study of three feminist utopias written in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century viz. The Palanquin Tassel (1889), Sultana’s Dream, (1905), and Herland (1915) from a comparative perspective. All these three works provide significant feminist critiques of the society of their times. They are therefore, I argue, significant contributions to the utopian ideas of nineteenth and twentieth century as well as to feminist theory. It is surprising,…

through a lens of moralistic tones and social dominance/subservice. We are treated with hardships and resiliency – a good historical mix. I can see this text along with the “Many Headed Hydra” and “Revolutionary Mothers” as a continuance in a Women’s Studies Program. There would need to be a third and fourth text cover post World War I and World War II of women in the workforce as well as the last text covering the Viet Nam era. What would be seen as women in a set piece of pre-Revolution era…

Gaining gender equality is one of the most pressing issues for women. Today, many feel as though men and women are already equal in all aspects of life. However, this is not the case as women and young girls are constantly scrutinized for their behavior even when in compliance with societal standards. Moreover, women, particularly in third world countries, are faced with substantial amounts of sexism, misogyny, and violence. While progress is being made to increase gender equality across the…

Introduction The Russian avant-garde is regularly celebrated for its remarkable inclusion of women artists, particularly in the visual arts. The Productivist-Constructivists of the 1920s were arguably the most fervent adopters of this emancipatory agenda, including the highest proportion of female artists in their ranks among any other Russian avant-garde movement. Lyubov Popova and Varvara Stepanova were among the most prolific of these artists. Despite producing an extensive and eclectic…

Persisting another day in a country that lacks the allowance (qualification) of either one of them access to human rights.

Promoting what these people deserve in their lives is a fight that Shirin Ebadi was…

Both are inseparable, and the greatest achievement of the novel is to present a fierce social critique through the study of a specific case. The protagonist commits suicide in order to escape her misery. Emma’s story is not unusual- on the contrary, it is representative of Flaubert’s oppressive times. To denounce the injustices of nineteenth century French society, the…

the Rights of Women. I have spent this last semester taking Intro to Gender Studies with Sarah Shady, and I have really enjoyed learning about the history of feminism and learning about all the different things that feminism touches on - and ultimately things that we should know about since we have the privilege of going into a higher education. To find a woman in the 16th century such as Wollstonecraft, arguing for women’s rights is amazing because it 's so often you hear people saying that…
