Role Of Women: Renaissance And Today
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Throughout the renaissance, patriarchy was responsible for designing women�s role in society; many of these devices used in earlier centuries were related to religion. Certain scripture regularly challenged women to disprove that they were inferior�to not agree was heresy. When religion did not work alone, scientific theory was included as a factor in the equation that supported the ideal that women are inferior. Based on a conviction of inferiority, male authorities were then able to design lifestyles for women, including approved activities, mannerism, education, sexuality and religious pursuits. Contemporary society, however, has witnessed a metamorphosis of gender oppression, clearly demonstrated through popular culture. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Depictions of Women in the 16th and 17th Century: German and China
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page
paper which compares and contrasts how women were depicted and treated in two
particular works. The works are 'Burgermeister's Daughter' by Steven Ozment and 'The
Death of Woman Wang' by Jonathan Spence. Ozment's book deals with Germany and
Spence's book deals with China. Both are essentially illustrations of life for women during
the 16th and 17th century within Germany and China. Through the comparison and
contrast we find that women in Germany had a great deal more power and control over
their lives than did women in China. Bibliography lists 4 additional sources.

Since the 1960s, women have been portrayed on television in a number of different ways, from brash and empowered heroines of shows like 'The Avengers' to demure and careful familial serial depiction.

Women and the 'Declaration of the Rights of Man'
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper discussing
changes in women's conditions over the 19th and 20th centuries from the perspective of the
French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen (1789). In contrast to the conditions
that existed before the Declaration was issued, it can be said that its points have been
fulfilled. The position that women now occupy is vastly improved over that of prior
generations, even though contemporary struggles would mask the gains that have been
made. As written, the Declaration's goals have been achieved. As interpreted in light of the
philosophers under whose influence the Declaration was written, there is still much more
ground to gain - not in terms of technicalities, but rather in attitudes. Bibliography lists 10
sources.

Communications / Gender Similarities
