[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses the fact that stories and legends of the Goddess abound in virtually every culture throughout the world. Archaeological findings throughout the world have revealed an amazing degree of repetition in terms of symbolic associations between the female form, ritualistic objects, apparent practices, and how all of life is related to and dependent on that which creates and sustains life.

The Greenwich Village Community: Sexual Politics, The Lyric Left and Edna St. Vincent Millay
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 9 page paper discussing the sexual politics within the lyric left from the Greenwich Village community. The New York Greenwich Village community in the late 19th and throughout the 20th century became the center for writers, journalists and artists all promoting ideas and lifestyle representing the political and sexual left including feminism, bohemianism, bisexuality, homosexuality and overall freedom of thought and action. Much of the writing which came from Greenwich was considered within the realm of the “lyric left” through the works of Jack Kerouac, Djuna Barnes, Sinclair Lewis, Willa Cather and especially Edna St. Vincent Millay among many others. Millay wrote a great many poems which not only revealed the bohemian and “radical sexual” conduct within the lifestyles of her and her colleagues but also commented on the fullest extent of feminism in which women can feel sexual desire and needs in addition to having control over their own lives and sexual fulfillment. At the same time, her poems also show the conflict which still existed between men and women and her own desire to overcome any restrictions carried over from the previous Victorian expectations.

The History of Women’s Suffrage in the United States
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing the history of the women’s suffrage movement in the United States. The women’s suffrage movement within the United States began in earnest in 1848. Reflecting the sentiments of women around the world, organizers of a national convention that year began the process to fight for the right to vote (suffrage) and enfranchisement (the end of slavery) for women. The suffrage movement had two organizations, the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) headed by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the American Women Suffrage Association (AWSA) organized by Lucy Stone and others. The two organizations merged in 1890 which was also the year which also saw women’s rights to vote gradually being accepted across many of the Western states. After a long struggle and witnessing the enfranchisement of women occurring in many other countries, the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution giving women the right to vote was finally passed in 1920. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Idea of the Fold in Female Space and Time as Reflected in the Fold Theory and the Visual Arts
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing the fold theory and the female body in time and space and the arts. Over the course of history the concept of woman has varied from being something biological which is manipulated by man, to something that is not having space but being space. Within the concept of space and time, the idea of the fold introduced new theories which postulated that time and space were not continuous but actually folded over on themselves. The concept of the fold and looking back at oneself was taken into feminist theory as one perception of women’s bodies. An additional aspect of the flesh was added and reflected in women touching their own bodies as a way to reaffirm their existence. While the concept of the fold continued in space and time theory, theories of the body as experience and intelligence surfaced as well as the idea of the complexity of folds was seen in the arts. Folds and the distortion of bodies seemed more prevalent in regards to the depiction of women in art whose bodies were constantly folded and distorted by male artists. While this was not always the case, women subjects who did not fall within the norms of society seemed more apt to have folded images and distorted bodies in the paintings. While the concept of the fold in time and space is still a popular theory, the folding of women in images is not as common but the concept of the folding of women’s existence and the reaffirming and reinventing of the feminine concept is still prevalent. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
