Theories of John Locke and Gender
[ send me this essay ]
( 2.5 pp.) In John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government," (1689) he states that there may be times when it is necessary for a citizen to rebel against injustices, in other words there were times when revolution was justified. A feminist might read that same idea today and feel justified in overturning oppression. But Locke is talking about more than just that in this Second Treatise. We will look at these additional ideas and see how that might be extended into a feminist logic in spite of their historical age.

Theories of Rousseau and Gender
[ send me this essay ]
(2. 5 pp.) If we could invite Rousseau to a feminist dinner party we might enjoy his company rather than argue with him. Certainly Rouseau was no feminist but his historical theories do not necessarily see women as the cause of all the world's problems, an alien species, or lower than worm dung. He feels inequality occurs for another reason, which will be discussed in this paper.

Three Authors' Use of Independence
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper examining how three women authors approach female independence. Kate Chopin, Zora Neale Hurston and Anzia Yezierska all addressed the issue of female independence in the works considered here. Chopin's The Awakening, Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God and Yezierska's Bread Givers: A Struggle between a Father of the Old World and a Daughter of the New World all feature female characters struggling to break the mold of tradition, the one that keeps them trapped in lives they have not chosen for themselves. All of these characters understand that they have little or no true freedom, and each sets about discovering independence from the forces that would keep them enslaved. Each approaches her quest very differently, however, and each experiences varying degrees of success in her mission. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Title IX - 30 Years Later

The focus of this essay is sports and athletics. Data are included. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

To What Extent Is Gender A Cultural Construct?
[ send me this essay ]
4 pages in length. The issue of gender – all the social, political and economic hardship imposed upon women – is due directly to the cultural construct of patriarchy. While some countries like the United States have overcome a significant amount of such oppressive gender control, others in lesser-evolved societies continue to persecute women under the guise of male dominance. Moreover, the male and female genders bear many differences when it comes to their respective mental, emotional and physical states. Typically – and some say only because of cultural indoctrination – men and women, boys and girls each have their own set of standards by which they live, effectively and ultimately maintaining a certain degree of gender compliance. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Today's Media Send Messages That Perpetuate Traditional Definitions Of Women
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Sexuality is perhaps one of the most influential of all power and gender roles in the contemporary culture. As such, a great deal about the messages today's media send to perpetuate traditional definitions of women are founded within centuries-old patriarchal influence. The image of power and gender roles in popular culture reflects significant patriarchal control, with the manipulation of the female gender a pertinent component of its objective. However, others contend that the Buffys and Felicitys of today's media are far better gender representations than the oppressed, motherly types of the 1950s and 1960s. No bibliography.
