This would however not have been possible without the support that I received from many different quarters; both expected and unexpected. To my supervisors Prof. Peter Kareithi and Dr. Muiru Ngugi, you two gentlemen critiqued, prodded, encouraged and delivered both gentle and hard punches depending on what the situation called for and walked with me chapter by chapter. I will forever be indebted to you. Dr. Kiai, thank you for your goodwill and ensuring a smooth flow of the PhD process. Dr. Sam Kamau, thanks for encouraging me and providing useful insight on navigating UoN. To my mum, the great and mighty Janet Nzilani Mulwa, where would I be without your emotional support? I am truly grateful for all that you have done for me and on my behalf. Above all, you are a high achiever and you instilled that in me. Thanks for believing in me when I doubted - may God bless you abundantly. Mbithe, Kevin and Jeanet (see, am trying), thank you for the immense support and continuous encouragement. For understanding when the PhD unceremoniously called. To Joy and Leah, my sorority sisters in life and work. Thank you for your patience, for enduring the whining and ranting of a PhD student and continuing to push me to excel even when I felt I couldn‘t write another word. Thank you for reading my drafts and helping to edit and all the other useful suggestions. We remain sisters for life. Mbithe, Leah and Joy, I am now waiting to read your book "The Dummies Guide on how to Survive a Friendship with a PhD Candidate". 3 To Jan Zillan (Ms Awesome), you are too young to understand all, but you are a benefactor of this work and I pray that you will be an empowered lady helping portray your gender positively. 4 DEDICATION This work is dedicated to: Janet Nzilani Mulwa, a woman who has charted her path in the turbulent seas of a world that is still struggling to accept that women and men are closer in nature, in spirit, in intellect than many would have us believe. You, mum, are my joy and source of inspiration in the attainment of excellence. Jan Zillan: that you will grow to be a woman who is confident in her own right; unafraid, unfettered and undeterred. And to the many women to whom 'empowerment' is still a foreign concept - be the heroine of your life, not the victim 5 ABSTRACT This study sought to explore the representations of womanhood in soap operas. It is a comparative study and hence looked at three soap operas purposively selected for their geographical orientation. The soaps are: Mali, Generations and Triunfo del Amor which form the scope of the study. It is argued that the mass media has been involved in the creation of ideology and by its role, sets the public agenda. For this reason the study aimed to analyse how soaps represent women and to make a comparison between locally produced soaps and foreign soaps broadcasted in Kenya. Further the study sought to explore whether the soaps broadcast in Kenya help to resist or reinforce traditional African gender roles and values. Backed by an extensive literature review on social and cultural expectations of women in Africa, representation and soap opera as a television genre, the researcher lays a foundation for the theoretical framework. Feminist media theory is the theory that was used for this study. In explaining the feminist media theory, the study traces the history of the women‘s movement and hinges its growing popularity on ideological and power issues which give way for the feminist media criticism. Visual texts were used as the data collection method, while critical discourse analysis and interpretative textual analysis are the data analysis methods used for this study. In analyzing the texts, the researcher used four themes: objectification of the female gender, leadership, public versus private life and self-reliance versus victimization. The study found that based on the four themes, women were represented as objects for fulfilling male desires and that few women were in leadership positions. It also found that many women were represented as thriving in the private sphere as opposed to the public sphere and that while the heroines were represented as self reliant, many other women were portrayed as victims of ill circumstances and men's desires. The findings in each of these themes were compared and contrasted among the three soaps and conclusions drawn. The study concluded that female characters are traditionally represented, more so in the local soaps, and hence reinforce traditional gender roles. The study also concluded that soaps can play an important role in development of gender identities and pushing for gender parity but not in their current form. Therefore, script writers and producers need to be empowered to understand the role their works can play in the attainment of gender parity. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION ..................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .................................................................................................... iii DEDICATION ........................................................................................................................ iv ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................. v LIST OF TABLES .................................................................................................................. xi DEFINITION OF KEY TERMS ........................................................................................... xii ABBREVIATIONS ............................................................................................................... xiv 1.

Strossmayera u Osijeku Filozofski fakultet Preddiplomski studij Engleskog jezika i književnosti i Hrvatskog jezika i književnosti Studentica: Matea Srčnik Subversion of the Cult of True Womanood in Kate Chopin's novel The Awakening and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story „The Yellow Wallpaper“ (Subverzija kulta pravog ženstva u romanu Buđenje Kate Chopin i pripovjetci „Žuta tapeta“ Charlotte Perkins Gilman) Završni rad Mentor: doc. dr. sc. Biljana Oklopčić Osijek, 2011. Summary The paper explains what the Cult of True Womanhood is and how it manifested itself in the period of its strongest influence, the nineteenth century. It goes on to explain how it degraded women, and how certain Victorian writers saw it fit to deny virtues it expected of women by means of their literary work. Subversion of this Cult is observed on two works by two authors; Kate Chopin and her novel The Awakening, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman and her short story „The Yellow Wallpaper“. On various examples and quotations, it explains how the authors rebelled against the norm forced upon women by Victorian society. The paper concludes these two literary efforts to be the cornerstone of future feminist literature. Key words: subversion, true womanhood, oppression, Kate Chopin, Charlotte Perkins Gilman Contents: Introduction......................................................................................................................................1

  • Section A. Feminist Theory in Late-Nineteenth-Century France, The
    45 2 Section A. Feminist Theory In late-nineteenth-century France, the word féminisme, meaning women’s liberation was first used in political debates. The most generic way to define feminism is to say that it is an organized activity on behalf of women’s rights and common interests and based on the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes. Some initial forms of feminism were criticized for considering the perspective of only white, middle-class and educated people. Ethnically specific or multiculturalists forms of feminism were created as a reaction to this criticism. Most feminists believe that inequality between men and women are open to change because they are socially constructed. Many consider feminism as theory or theories, but some others see it as merely a kind of politics in the culture. Feminist theory aims to understand gender inequality and focus on sexuality, gender politics, and power relations. To achieve this, it has developed theories in a wide range of disciplines. Feminist theory is the extension of feminism into fields of theory or philosophy. Since in academic institutions ‘theory’ is often the male standpoint and feminists have fought hard to expose the fraudulent objectivity of male ‘science’, (for example, the Freudian theory of female sexual development) some feminists have not wished to embrace theory at all. Raman Selden, Widdowson and Brooker argue “Feminism and feminist criticism may be better termed a cultural politics than a theory or theories” (116). However, much recent feminist criticism wants to free itself from the ‘fixities and definites’ of theory and to develop a female discourse which is not considered as a belonging to a recognized conceptual position (and, therefore, probably male produced).

Follow this and additional works at: http://digitalcommons.buffalostate.edu/history_theses Part of the Literature in English, North America Commons, United States History Commons, Women's History Commons, and the Women's Studies Commons Abstract During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, American women were subjected to restrictive societal expectations, providing them with a well-defined identity and role within the male- dominated culture. For elite southern women, more so than their northern sisters, this identity became integral to southern patriarchy and tradition. As the United States succumbed to sectional tension and eventually civil war, elite white southerners found their way of life threatened as the delicate web of gender, race, and class relations that the Old South was based upon began to crumble.
