Letter To The Editor: Pornography Censorship
[ send me this essay ]
4 pages in length. Coupled with the hotly debated issue that asserts pornography is actually beneficial to women is the ever-controversial issue of censorship and its application toward sexually explicit material. It has only been within this century that women have liberated their sexual selves in a way like never before. Now, however, those who feel they have the right to tell others what they can and cannot do are attempting to once again repress the evolution of what has been vigorously kept from the female gender for centuries.

Lillian Smith's "Strange Fruit"
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Lillian Smith's Strange Fruit addresses the prevalence of racial discord as it existed more than fifty years ago; indeed, Smith could never know the extent to which contemporary society continues to struggle with racial issues she depicts in her book. The assumptions that the town of Maxwell has about black women – their capabilities, sexuality, maternal qualities – are displayed by way of defiant intolerance toward the relationship – and subsequent baby – between Tracy and Nonnie. Nonnie is treated with disdain, which is par for the course in a community that expresses such social and cultural close-mindedness. Bess, on the other hand, is embraced as common folk who know where their ethnic boundaries are. The conversations that take place between Tracy and the preacher are indicative of the sometimes-strained relationship between religion and real life, inasmuch as the preacher must speak for and advise under the power of the clergy rather than express what might be a realistic understanding and acceptance of Tracy's situation. No additional sources cited.

Lorraine Code's 'What Can She Know?: Feminist Theory And The Construction Of Knowledge'
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. Lorraine Code's 'What Can She Know?' is a celebration of gender, with particular emphasis upon issues of feminism and patriarchal control. Indeed, Code portrays the perpetuation of feminism; not only are her writings a solid reflection of her sentiments of a lacking Anglo-American epistemology but so is the manner in which she reflects the female reawakening. Code displays her craft well and does not hesitate to apply her talent as more of a social statement than one of mere entertainment. Thus is the case with her ongoing assertion that there was truly no separation of the sexes in reality, short of the obvious physical differences; rather, her perpetual argument clearly makes the point that the female gender -- no matter how seemingly fragile and delicate -- is indeed just as much an emotionally strong and self-reliant individual as her socially-accepted male counterpart. The writer discusses Code's book as it relates to feminism and patriarchy. No additional sources cited.

Lucretia Mott
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. The quest for antislavery and women's rights was as much a part of Lucretia Mott's very being as was the need to breathe air. The extent to which these two issues served to define Mott's entire existence is both grand and far-reaching; that this Quaker is part of history's most revolutionary female figures when it comes to the perpetual pursuit for human rights speaks to the very nature of a humane and compassionate woman. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
