The Status Of Men And Women In Early Modern French Society: Bertrande De Rols And Francois Poullain De La Barre's Treatises
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Had Bertrande de Rols learned to read and lived long enough to have had the opportunity to partake of Francois Poullain de la Barre's "Three Cartesian Feminist Treatises," thereby giving her the chance to debate with him the status of men and women in early modern French society, one might readily surmise how gleefully overwhelmed and supportive she would have been with his argument. Responding with resounding defense, Bertrande – as depicted in Natalie Zemon Davis' "The Return of Martin Guerre" – would have likely helped him champion his cause, since she was quite a defiant, strong willed woman in an era when such attributes were not readily accepted in the female gender. Even though her situation in sixteenth-century France may have reflected a bit more gender equality in certain familial ways – "…the testaments in the area around Artigat rarely benefit one child but instead provide dowries for the daughters…(If there are only daughters, the property is divided equally among them)" (Zemon Davis PG) – Bertrande would have experienced for herself the extent to which such inequity was ripe for challenge in relationship to the world that Poullain experienced a century later.

Three Women of Color in the West
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper examining the statement, “Scholars have suggested the West afforded greater educational and employment opportunities for women of color.” It can be argued that this is true, but only in relative terms. The West did – and does – offer more opportunities for women of color in many ways relative to those opportunities available in much of the Eastern Hemisphere. The reasons, however, likely have more to do with more developed economies in the West and more opportunity being available in general. The experiences of Era Bell Thompson, Fabiola Cabeza and the fictional Lalu Nathoy illustrate the point. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

To What Extent Is Gender A Cultural Construct?
[ send me this paper ]
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.

Tula's Perspectitve on Human Rights: Still Relevant?
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the generalizability of resistance to political oppression in the New World and in the East. In Hear My Testimony, author Maria Teresa Tula provides an account of the struggle for human rights in her native El Salvador. The purpose here is to examine the historical origins of that struggle and to determine whether the work reflects world historical forces of the non western world. The paper concludes that though results in abuses of human rights take similar forms, the historical origin of extremism in the New World and in old civilizations of Asia are greatly different. The book does provide an account of women's involvement in political resistance, however, which is highly relevant to oppression resulting from any origin. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
