Biography Of Ida B. Wells
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. Like so many others who grow up a minority surrounded by the constant inequity of racial and cultural divide, Ida B. Wells was outraged by the society in which she lived. Unlike most others, however, Wells did not sit idly by and merely complain about the intolerable situation; a young, black woman with a fire lit beneath her very being, she used her talents as a writer and her courage as a young, defiant black woman to make a mark in history that preceded the likes of Rosa Parks and other more contemporary suffragettes. Her passion was justified when she successfully brought lynching to national attention and ultimately played an integral role in its decline near the end of the twentieth century. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Boundary Crossing: Language
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The concept of boundary crossing, as it relates to gender issues, is relevant in such a way that it forms social dictates. Clearly, boys and girls, men and women have specific gender roles to uphold that have been ingrained since childhood; when those boundaries are crossed, it sometimes creates an uneasiness that reverberates throughout society. One might readily argue that boundary crossing is significantly less acceptable when a woman is traversing the invisible line, such as with sports, politics and any other social element that has long been construed as controlled by the male gender. Pertinent to this learned social behavior is the manner by which both boys and girls are conditioned through the learning process. Among the myriad differences between men and women is the manner in which they speak. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Canadian Women's Special Interest Groups: Undue Influence To Advance Their Own Agendas?
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Some scholars have accused organized interests of "undue influence" in the policy process and, in particular, of using the courts to advance their own narrow interests by way of circumventing the democratic (i.e. parliamentary) policy process. The manner by which the articles in Women's Legal Strategies in Canada address the controversy surrounding the issue of using courts to promote concerns of interest groups and social movements, as well as the evidence presented by the various authors in this collection edited by Radha Jhappan, helps to refute claims of "undue influence" by women's groups in the political and legal process. However, what must be realized is how the issues at hand are viewed as unworthy of acceptance via the traditional democratic process and in need of alternative means by which to be moved forward – such as with gay and lesbian rights, feminism and other female-related social movements – derogatorily branding these interest groups as "equality seekers" who are forced to circumvent an otherwise intolerant, patriarchal and hypocritical society that eschews the freedom inherent to social diversity.

Carol Lakey Hess’ “Caretakers of Our Common House”: Gender Socialization and Women and Conversational Education (Chapter 6)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing Hess’ “Caretakers of Our Common House”. Carol Lakey Hess’ “Caretakers of Our Common House: Women’s Development in Communities of Faith” studies not only areas connected with faith, theology and women’s experience but also the various aspects in the difference of female socialization in regards to “caring and connection” and how this relates to theological interpretation. The idea of the practice of faith within communities relates to Hess’ argument that separation and connection is obtained through “hard dialogues and deep connections” in which girls and women care be nurtured to be caretakers of their “own house” (self) as well as the “common house” (the community of faith). Women, through conversational education and strong leadership in the religious community can overcome the generations of gender socialization which have largely led to men as powerful and women as servile, caring, and supportive which has resulted in women “losing themselves” to societal roles.

Cause & Effect/Sexism
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that offers a cause and effect analysis of sexism. While sexism is a characteristic of culture that is prevalent throughout American society, it has been a stated goal of the federal government over the last several decades that women should receive “equal pay for equal work” (Gilbelman, 2003). The American workplace is supposedly gender and race neutral, a place where employees are evaluated purely on their job performance. Nevertheless, the continuation of occupational segregation by according to gender, and associated salary inequalities, are well documented in empirical research (Gilbelman, 2003). The cause of this inequality finds its origin in the legacy of patriarchy. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Children's Views On Occupations And Sex Stereotyping

Comparison of Feminist Theories on Motherhood and the Concept of the Goddess
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing different feminist theories on motherhood and the Goddess. Within feminist theories are different aspects regarding concepts of motherhood and the Goddess among other historical and cultural issues. Some feminists such as Sarah Ruddick see motherhood as an empowerment of women to gain a new perspective on the theories of practicality over those of military violence and through their nurturing and training of their children can aid in the peace making process. Other feminists however such as Jeffner Allen see motherhood as yet another example of men’s oppression by restricting women to domestic duties. The concept of the Goddess is also considered by Mary Daly and Carol Christ. Research on the concept of the Goddess has found that the Goddess is an extension of women’s inner self and is not seen necessarily as an omnipotent and suppressive being but one which advocates change, flexibility and nature.
