"What Women See When They See Hillary" - Article Critique
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. America's unprecedented political maneuver of having a woman run for the nation's highest office is a clear indication of just how far the United States has come with regard to social and political progress. Hillary Clinton has indeed created a legacy for feminists and naysayers alike merely by having her name placed on the ballot. This is not to say, however, that just because a female candidate has finally made it into the United States history books that she is necessarily the right person for the job. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

10-point Plan To Bring Security And Peace To Homosexuals, Feminists And Abortion Supporters
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. People from all walks of life must endure social intolerance at one time or another; however, certain groups face prejudicial persecution on a regular basis. What is the answer for gays, lesbians, feminists and proponents of abortion that would bring a sense of peace and security in this lifetime? Is it too much to hope for that social bias begin to wane in exchange for a more understanding and open-minded world? Indeed, what lies at the foundation of all intolerance – be that toward homosexuals, feminists or those who support abortion – is a combination of fear and ignorance, an alliance that not only precludes the chance for security and peace but one that also encourages just the opposite. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

A 10 page analysis in which the writer argues that Theda Skocpol in her book "Protecting Soldiers and Mothers," and also Kristi Andersen in her book "After Suffrage" address similar territory in that both of these political scientists look at how female participation in the American political process in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has largely been under-appreciated or ignored completely. Both of these authors demonstrate that this participation must be viewed within the context of political framework of their time in order to be understood properly. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
