Abstract
This paper takes a look at Ethiopian women and the hardships and struggles they endure. According to the paper, the mortality rate amongst Ethiopian women, is very high. The paper goes on to say that the reason for this is the food taboos observed among pregnant women, poverty, early marriage and birth complications of female genital mutilation or FGM, especially infibulation.

From the Paper
" The National Policy on Women was established in 1993 to set up appropriate structure within government offices and institutions, which would introduce and implement appropriate gender-sensitive public policies. The 1995 Ethiopian government renewed its commitment to the policy under its new Constitution. It also waged an intense and extensive regionalization process, which would spread gender-sensitive policies and development interventions. Currently, interventions made available for the women of Ethiopia have consisted largely in temporary and unconnected individual projects. If these continued, they tended to just remain gender-neutral and not too effective in benefiting these women. The biggest challenge confronted by regional governments in Ethiopia is that the reverse hierarchy of activities does not reach targeted women effectively. Reasons include a lack of institutional capacity at the sub-regional level and the lack of participation in delivery assistance services. Development plans are not demand-driven and, thus, have failed to recognize regional differences. This trend has disconnected the target women from development interventions. The view at this point does not appear very optimistic."

Abstract
The paper discusses the life of Fanny Brice, a legendary performer in the 1920s and 30s who performed on Broadway, in burlesque and in the famous Ziegfeld Follies. The paper shows how Fanny Brice was a remarkable entertainer and woman. The paper relates that she was incredibly talented and learned how to perform by gauging her audience and finding what worked for her own personality, looks and talents. The paper notes that she was one of the first successful Jewish comediennes who is still remembered for her wit and outrageous characters.

From the Paper
"Fanny Brice was born in New York City in 1891. Her parents were immigrants who owned saloons, and her real name was Fania Borach. She began performing early in her life, and aspired to be a serious actress, but her Semitic looks always forced her into character parts. In fact, while she often sang humorous songs with a Yiddish accent, in reality she did not even speak Yiddish (Editors, 2006). She was also tall and skinny, which made her stand out from most of the chorus girls of the time, who were more statuesque (Sorel, 1986, p. 81). In 1906, she won an amateur night contest at a famous vaudeville theater at the age of fourteen, and her career in the theater got its start. She dropped out of school after the eighth grade to concentrate on her career."

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper explores sociologist Mahnaz Kousha's research in "Voices from Iran: The Changing Lives of Iranian Women" to present an assessment of women's status in Iran today. The paper examines both the challenges that remain as well as the advances that women have achieved throughout the years. The paper also employs a cultural relativist approach to explore how Iranian women are able to exercise power and exert influence via traditional cultural practices.

From the Paper
"Westerners, including western feminists often have a stereotyped version of women in Iran. Iranian women are often painted in various stages of "oppression." They are required to cover themselves up, do not enjoy equal political, legal, or economic rights, and are subject to the authority of their fathers or husbands. While there is a grain of truth to many of these images, they paint an incomplete picture of the status of Iranian women today."

Abstract
This paper presents an examination of women in prison. The writer explores the history of the prison system, highlighting the historical aspects of women within the system. The author concludes that prisons with a female population are working toward a rehabilitative atmosphere more than a punitive atmosphere and only time will tell how successful such institutions will become.

From the Paper
"For the most part society had less respect for female inmates and criminals than it did its male inmates and criminals according to records that were kept at various prisons around the country. The first Illinois female prisoner in the state system was in 1835,. Her name was Sally Jefferson and she was sentenced for arson. She was pardoned within six weeks however her stay alerted officials of a coming trend, women in prison."

Enlightenment, 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses "The Declaration of the Rights of Man" written in 1789 and discusses how the ideals described in the work were seen to apply to men and women equally. The paper then compares this work to Olympe de Gouges' work "Declaration of the Rights of Women" written in 1791. It describes de Gouges' view of "The Declaration of the Rights of Man" and the changes made in the newer declaration.

Table of Contents:
"The Declaration of the Rights of Women" versus "The Declaration of the Rights of Man"
Conclusion: Enlightenment Optimism

From the Paper
"De Gouges stresses a social contract that reinforces happiness, a happy government that is mutually agreed upon by both genders. She does not deny the need for law, although her system of law has aims of societal engineering, rather than merely protecting rights, as articulated in the first declaration. Despite her cynicism about the current relationship between the genders, even in her tract one can see the enlightenment optimism that rejected the ideas that human nature is flawed by original sin, a faith-based doctrine. If only humanity throws away its erroneous attitudes about bastardy and the inequality of women, then humanity is perfectible, just as the "Declaration of the Rights of Man" suggested that humanity's supposed tendency towards evil and error was rooted in constraint, rather than a lack of constraint. By eliminating bad laws, humanity's innate democratic goodness would emerge."

"The Beauty Myth", 2007.
An analysis of the types and effects of the writing styles used by Naomi Wolf in her book "The Beauty Myth".
3,268 words (approx. 13.1 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 93.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses how Naomi Wolf successfully uses emotive language in her book "The Beauty Myth" to communicate her concept of modern feminism and the place of women in society. It shows how Wolf illustrates her theories through the use of several distinct styles of emotive writing. The paper describes and analyzes these styles as dream language, inflammatory language, victim language and the language of female consciousness.

From the Paper
"It can be seen, therefore, that Wolf has chosen her words with precision and care in order to evoke a strong reaction in her female readers. By using emotive language and imagery that provokes a gut reaction - fear imagery and victim language - Wolf stirs her female readers into conscious examination of their self and their female identity. Wolf hammers home her points using words that linger in the female consciousness - guilt, dream, fiction, myth, femininity - with the surgical precision of a woman who knows how best to anger, distress, challenge and reach her audience. Moreover, she effectively uses language to convey the strength of her convictions, and as such, the reader is carried along with her, willing to embrace her created atmosphere that is in such bold contrast to the atmosphere of modern society and the rules that they have created for women."

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This example of descriptive writing highlights the author's perceptions of a woman in a grocery store. The essay's narrator describes her late night trip to the grocery store and a young mother she encounters there. The author speculates on the young mother's situation and her character, comparing it to how she raised her own children. The narrator concludes by seeing the commonalities in the young mother's situation and her own, despite the differences in their stages of life.

From the Paper
"Her voice was rich, surprisingly rich, and husky, but it sounded tired, too, like the troubles of the world weighed it down. She pushed away a strand of hair again and reached into her bag for her wallet. She looked at the cart, glanced at the contents of the wallet, and shrugged to herself. I so wanted to hand her a twenty and tell her to buy the roast and the ground beef, but I knew in my heart she would never take a handout from a stranger. She probably wouldn't even take one from her own family. It was clear she was proud and struggling as she gathered her brood together and headed for the check stands."

Abstract
This paper reviews, discusses and compares the two novels 'The Day of the Locust', by Nathanael West and 'Mildred Pierce' by James Cain. The paper discusses how the two books share the common scene of Californian life, around the 1930s. The paper further discusses how the books also share their view of this world, especially regarding the way in which the emotional and sexual relationships between men and women are built.

From the Paper
"Faye and Mildred differ widely in the aspects of their lives- Faye is merely a prostitute and an actress looking for fame and money, cruelly playing with the men who surround her, while Mildred is a hard-working mother, devoted to her family, and especially to her daughter. However, the two female protagonists do have something in common: first of all, Mildred's job as a waitress is another form of prostitution, and her excessive love for her daughter is, to a great extent a form of narcissism and selfishness, not entirely different from Faye's feelings."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Without giving a specific breakdown of how many of the girls showed traits that matched the expected traits of psychopathic girls, the authors admit that this was only a beginning in a long series of research studies needed in the matter of determining the presence of psychopathy in girls' personalities. They stated that there were "notable differences" between the similarity and consistency when comparing Hale's model in adult males and the female responses. Five of the items in the sample which were found to be good "discriminators" in this sample ("conning/manipulative behavior"; "unstable interpersonal relationships"; "irresponsibility"; "juvenile delinquency" and "impersonal sexual behavior") did not match up with Hare's discriminators in adult females."

Sula and Feminism, 2007.
This paper discusses the aspect of feminism present in the novel 'Sula' by Toni Morrison.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that among the many themes that are woven so interestingly by Toni Morrison in her novel 'Sula', feminist themes are necessarily the pivotal focus of this paper. The writer points out that among the female themes so wonderfully presented in brush-strokes of humanity, ethnicity, culture and gender, the human body emerges again and again against a backdrop of what is happening to the body, within the body, and because of the body and its place in the culture of families and man-woman dynamics. Following a series of analyses of Sula, the paper reviews several aspects of modern feminist theory through the positions taken by respected authors and feminists. The writer concludes that nothing is overshadowed by the characters and themes of Morrison's Sula, except the lesser talent of other authors and the stumbling attempts of would-be scholars to figure it all out.

Outline:
Modern Feminist Viewpoints and Theory
Conclusion

From the Paper
"As for Sula, readers are not jerked suddenly into any heart-wrenching pathos or morbidity in Sula - nor are they coaxed into identifying with the underdog woman Eva and the other females in this cast of characters in Ohio (somewhere) in a pandering way through overpowering descriptive narrative. There is an intrinsic empathetic element to any believable character who has faced life-altering challenges, and that dynamic is certainly here as well."
"Meanwhile, after Eva is abandoned by her husband BoyBoy, she is left with no identity and little else save her health, her heart and spirit, and her three children which she must now raise on her own. The empathetic part of this opening to Morrison's book is not just that Eva has been left to fend for herself, but that she believed - as women do in her culture - that that being married meant that the husband would provide for all those things a woman needed. The women in her society have only one means of self-realization, and that is marriage."

Traditional Family, 2007.
This paper discusses the issue of the decline of the traditional family.
1,618 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the decline of the traditional family structure and concomitant values has been the subject of many worried religious and social documents. The writer notes that these documents quote high divorce rates as the reason for all social problems from crime and suicide to the Aids pandemic. Further the writer notes that single-parent families are demonized by many for their propensity towards abuse and poverty. Gay marriages are seen by many as the ultimate disgrace; a parody of the healthy family structure. Others hold that the family structure has historically not been extremely stable and that to blame escalating crime and suicide rates solely on this decline, is somewhat unbalanced. The writer maintains that like many other social phenomena and paradigms, there are therefore more than one view of the issue, some of which are examined in this paper. The writer concludes with the opinion that the country is not facing a national crisis with regard to the family.

From the Paper
"Po Bronson makes the same point in terms of family structure. He quotes a report by the United Nations in its finding that there is an increasing diversity of household types in modern society over the last few decades. Like Carlson, Bronson points out that the phenomenon of family complexity is hardly new. The difference is however the causes of the celibacy, single-parenthood and reconstituted families during Victorian times as opposed to the same phenomenon today. Po cites morality levels, economic constraints and ideological choices as some of these reasons for pre-Victorian family diversity, while the ideological attitude today has changed from the uniform ideal towards tolerance and acceptance. It is this tolerance and acceptance that are often used by religious and social groups to lament the decline of the family as a "national crisis"."

From the Paper
"Complex problems require complex solutions and it is clear that the United States alone will only be able to do so much in the battle against the enormous international human rights crisis of sex trafficking in children today. Fortunately, the United States as well as more and more members of the international community are recognizing that simply enacting new laws in isolation of more comprehensive solutions will fail to adequately address the insidious problems associated with sex trafficking. According to Mathews (2005), in an attempt to supplement the various legal and political initiatives underway to fight the sex trafficking industry, the United States has sought the assistance of a number of human rights groups and other nongovernmental organizations (Mathews, 2005). For example, Gary Haugen, director of the human rights group, International Justice Mission (IJM), is a former federal prosecutor who uses controversial tactics to infiltrate the underground network of sex trafficking; IJM was recently awarded a million dollar grant from the U.S. government to continue its work (Mathews, 2005)."

This paper discusses the right to an abortion and argues pro-choice.

Abstract
This paper takes the position that abortions should remain a legal option for a woman; her right to control what happens to her own body should not be in the hands of politicians in Washington, or anti-abortion activists anywhere. The writer maintains that a woman's right to privacy is, according to Roe v. Wade, protected by the Constitution. Further, the writer claims that, even though the present executive branch of the U.S. Government is "pro-life" in philosophy and has placed two new Justices who are potentially able to tip the scales to overturn Roe v. Wade, the law should continue to uphold a woman's right to privacy, and allow abortions in clean, medically appropriate healthcare facilities.

"There was a law in 1972 that was struck down by the Court in Eisenstadt v. Baird; the Court ruled that distribution by doctors of the birth control pill to unmarried adults was legal. In 1976, three years after Roe v. Wade, the Court ruled that a married woman did not have to have her husband's permission to get an abortion, if she wanted one."

Women in the Workplace, 2007.
An analysis of the factors contributing to the decline in the numbers of women entering the workforce.

Abstract
This paper discusses the overall decline (since the mid 1990s) of growth in women entering the workplace. The paper discusses some of the reasons that may be contributing to the decline in numbers. It looks into discrimination, the pressures of pursuing a career and also starting a family and cultural and economic factors. The paper concludes that a solution must be found on how to promote greater innovation and to champion entrepreneurship so that the next generation of industry leaders will be headed by just as many women founders, as men.

From the Paper
"The concept of women in the workplace has been explored thoroughly in the past half century. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the growth of women entering the workplace was set at a blistering place. It fostered a strong culture and overall transformation of the American society and especially business dynamics. However, the overall pace of growth in women entering the workplace has been in slow decline since the mid 1990s. Although many claim that the recent decline has nothing to do with discrimination, or any other prevailing external force, experts still explain that there are major problems with women staying active in the workplace dynamic. Strong indications are that the reconfiguration of women's lives as a result of both the pressures of pursuing a career and also starting a family has stressed many to limits."

From the Paper
"The contraceptive patch gives the woman "continuous daily doses" of estrogen; the woman has to put a new patch on each week, so one can see that for a forgetful person, the patch might not be the best way to go. She puts a new patch on each week for 3 weeks, then goes a week without the patch, during which time her menstruation occurs. The FDA warns women who use the patch, that they are getting higher doses of estrogen than with oral contraceptives."
"Another option is the vaginal ring, which is "easily inserted" and it remains in her vagina for three weeks; she takes it out after three weeks, goes a week without a ring, and then puts a new one in for three more weeks."

Drug Testing, 2007.
This paper explores the moral issue of drug testing without the consent of pregnant women.
1,615 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper discusses how, both from a moral and ethical perspective, the question of drug testing is complex. The paper explains that hospitals must ensure that every patient receives the best treatment possible, including those who have not yet been born. However, in medical cases where a pregnant woman is involved, the mother also enjoys a right to privacy, guaranteed by the Constitution and this is where the moral dilemma presents itself. The paper looks at the original Supreme Court ruling, Ferguson v. City of Charleston, where a city hospital turned over drug test results from a pregnant patient to the police for prosecution when they found evidence of drug use. The paper concludes that drug testing of pregnant women should continue but the results of their tests should remain confidential. The paper asserts that otherwise there will be implications for many other government interventions into Americans' private lives.

From the Paper
"Morally and ethically, this question of drug testing is difficult at best. The original Supreme Court ruling covered the case Ferguson v. City of Charleston, where a city hospital turned over drug test results from a pregnant patient to the police for prosecution when they found evidence of drug use. The patients had no knowledge their results were turned over to police. As a result, 30 women were arrested and ten sued the city. One legal writer notes, "Petitioners were ten women arrested after seeking obstetrical care in a public hospital, some after giving birth. The women were arrested because they had tested positive for cocaine and were therefore suspected of having distributed illegal drags to a minor, namely, their fetuses" (Colb)."

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer explores how and why the myth that women "bulk up" in masculine and unattractive ways from lifting weights began. The writer also provides scientific details that disprove this myth. Further, the writer explains how and why building healthy muscle through appropriate weight-lifting will not make women "bulk up"; but instead become healthier, more physically fit and more attractive.
The writer maintains that weight-lifting allows most women who exercise regularly and correctly in this way to become healthier, more physically fit and more physically attractive. The writer concludes that women who have been holding back from weight-lifting due to the unrealistic fear of building too much muscle may now, therefore, relax about this faulty myth.

From the Paper
"To possess good health; physical fitness, and a body both healthy and attractive are aspirations as important to women (and men) today as ever before. With today's myriad convenient yet unhealthy "fast-food" temptations and our typically too-sedentary 21st century lifestyles, becoming healthy; physically fit, and physically attractive, and then staying that way, are goals perhaps more difficult to attain (and when reached, maintain) than ever before. is to regularly lift weights: the barbell kind and/or by repetitively using weight-lifting machines made (most famously) by Nautilus, but also by various other manufacturers. There is now even an entire line of Nautilus and/or other weight-lifting machines, available in many gyms that are designed to be used only by women, precisely so that women who lift weights no longer fear having to "bulk up" by repetitively lifting weights."

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this essay, the writer examines the subject of sex discrimination at work and the writer argues that gender discrimination stems from the patriarchal system. The writer looks at socialization and claims that discrimination in the workplace is just a continuation of the children's social upbringing. The writer claims that the problem of favoring man over woman is deeply-rooted in our society. Further, the writer maintains that patriarchal socialization is so great and so complete, that gender discrimination is frequently unconscious. The writer concludes that discrimination will probably continue for some time into the future, but if women make as much progress in the next 40 years as they made since the 1960s, conditions in the workplace will be much better for them.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Patriarchal societies are always male-centered. In literature, for example, including movies and TV, the male experience is considered the human experience. Until only about 20 years ago, schools taught that male pronouns were always to be used when referring to people in mixed groups. If there were 39 girls and only one boy, for example, the male pronoun was "proper" English (as in "The student will put his pencils and his books in his desk at 3:15 and get ready to go home"). This kind of male-centered message says that females are unimportant and negligible. It implies that men are human beings and women are something other. Women's work and contributions, as a result, are devalued, belittled, and often invisible. The domestic work that women do, usually unpaid, is not even defined as work. For years, schoolteachers, almost always women, were hopeful that more men would enter the field of teaching because it would help them (the female teachers) to gain respect and better pay."

Rosa Parks, 2007.
This paper highlights the bravery of Rosa Parks, an African-American woman who protested the racism prevalent in the 1950s.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper discusses how Rosa Parks, who held fast to her sense of dignity and worth as a person, risked imprisonment and physical assault, so that she could hold true to her convictions. The paper shows how Rosa Parks became one of the icons of the American Civil Rights Movement because she refused to relinquish her seat to a white man on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. The paper demonstrates how Parks' single act of quiet defiance more than fifty years ago helped touch off the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s.

From the Paper
""To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, -- that is genius," writes Ralph Waldo Emerson at the beginning of his essay "Self-Reliance." (Emerson, 1841) And, one might add, for all women too! In his famous essay, Emerson writes that genius, and true self-reliance and bravery comes from resisting accepted norms, and refusing to follow the crowd, and the mass, popular opinion. Such was the case with Rosa Parks, who held fast to her sense of dignity and worth as a person, risked imprisonment and physical assault, so that she might hold true to her convictions."
