Heart of Flesh: A Book Review
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page review of "Heart of Flesh: A Feminist Spirituality for Women and Men" by Joan D. Chittister. The book documents the ostracism of women both from public policy and from the theological development of the western world and uses the work of other authors to substantiate Chittister's contentions. This ostracism has limited both the growth and the vision of the world. Chittister uses the life of Jesus as a format for the spirituality which she see so critically hinges on the embracement of feminist values rather than the condemnation of those values. She calls for calls for a reorganization of world thinking in terms of spirituality. A Feminist Spirituality for Women and Men", as its title would suggest, calls for hearts of flesh rather than the hearts of stone which have so shaped our past. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Helen Keller
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. When faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges that impact every facet of a person's life, some embrace the burden and confront it head on while many more succumb to the overwhelming crush of such adversity. Helen Keller was an individual who could be credited with pioneering the first group by the way she adapted to and built upon her physical disabilities to turn them into tools for helping others. Indeed, the level of courage and determination required to achieve but a fraction of what Keller accomplished throughout her life illustrates how the power of resolve can overcome any perceived barrier.

Heterosexuality in Male Dominance
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing the origin and nature of male dominance as promoted by Nancy Chodorow, Catherine MacKinnon, and Gayle Rubin, and answering the question, “Would ending heterosexuality end gender?” Ending heterosexuality could have the effect of ending gender in the sense that one would not be dominant over another. However, it is likely that, were gender not an issue making distinction between classes, individuals would find another quality on which to base and justify the same type of oppression.

Hildegard of Bingen: Attitudes Toward Men And Women
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Hildegard of Bingen was considered a trendsetter of her time; not only did she speak openly of sexual relations between a man and a woman, but she addressed myriad other topics that, up until her literary candor, had only been discussed in private. One area in particular that Hildegard approached with vehemence and resolution is that of the importance of men and women within the context of society. These attitudes are generally equal in respect; however, the one point the can be argued as being more significant than the others relates to her opinion of Adam and Eve. In Causeae et Curae, she argued that if Adam had succumbed to the serpent instead of Eve, the original sin thus created would have been too strong to be overcome at all. Otherwise, she believed that the roles both men and women assume within the social environment are complementary, both required for the proper functioning of society. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Historiography/Northern Women in American Civil War
[ send me this essay ]
A 9 page research paper that discusses this topic. This area of historical study can be divided roughly into several categories, as there are books that detail the role of Northern women as nurses; abolitionists; spies; and as actual soldiers. The historiography of Northern women's involvement in the war is too vast to be addressed in a report of this limited length. Therefore, this discussion looks at works representing the early era of this historical endeavor and then at recent works that are representative of contemporary research into this aspect of American history.
