Women's Rights Campaign: Taiwan
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Historically speaking, women had a practical, more egalitarian relationship with men for some forty thousand years, which was directly related to the need for a shared responsibility for survival. This began to change, however, when men became associated with the male figure of God, at which point ideals began to shift toward the notion of male superiority. Once the ideal fully developed, the belief of male superiority gained significant strength -- forever to be supported by evolving social and religious doctrines. For Taiwanese women, the areas of education, literature and religion have long histories of restraint through design of typical woman's role; the effects of the designs have been so well entrenched that they have automatically applied to other areas of public life. The overt implications of fear and control represent the role Taiwanese women have historically been forced to play within society. It can readily be argued that while many women have struggled to attain their own self-worth, up until recently they have typically been identified as being akin to material possessions, equated with things that are to be used, like land and other tangible entities. While it is clear that women have intrinsic value of their own, this aspect of the female gender was not readily acknowledged within the stifling boundaries of a patriarchal society until the recent movement toward women's rights.

Women�s Equality in New Zealand?
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of women�s progress in New Zealand. While we most often acquaint the quest for women�s equality with the more technologically advanced countries of the world, that same quest has been intense in many lesser developed countries as well. New Zealand�s current political makeup is often contended to testify to the advancements women have made in the country. Indeed, the offices of Governor General, Prime Minister, and the Chief Justice are just a few of the high visibility positions now occupied by women. This accomplishment is, however, very limited by women�s socioeconomic status. This paper examines the fact that many women in New Zealand continue to struggle for equality. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
