Early Feminism/Woolf & Wollstonecraft
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page essay/research paper that contrasts and compares the early feminism of Mary Wollstonecraft, who penned A Vindication of the Rights of Women in 1792, and Virginia Woolf who wrote A Room of One's Own in 1928. While different in context and writing style, these two writers made many of the same points, as they endeavored to write in such a manner as to break through stereotyped notions of gender and make their readers realize that society and history's norm--in regards to women--was unjust and unethical. Examination of these two texts, with particular emphasis on the chapter in Wollstonecraft's text entitled "On National Education," shows that where the authors differed, besides differing context due to having been written in different eras, was in regards to their intended reading audience in each case.

[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page contention that the American Revolution, and indeed the years following that revolution, did little toward changing the inequalities which existed in this country in regard to African Americans and women. Notes that while certain inroads would be made in the years which followed, even the Emancipation Proclamation and the rights of women to vote and own property, accomplished little in terms of achieving true equality. Concludes that it took the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s to result in any real change but that even today true equality has yet to be obtained. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
