Role Of Women: Renaissance And Today
[ send me this report ]
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.

Women and the 'Declaration of the Rights of Man'
[ send me this report ]
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.
