So, as we launch you have in this state. These are young people transplanted into this debate, I would like to ask this question; what is the from California and other states. This is going to slam the door problem we are trying to fix with this piece of legislation and shut on that because they're not going to be interested in this. how does this bill actually fix it? We are actually targeting 5% What about the fiscal impact? And I'd like to draw your of our population and specifically our little people, K-12. And attention to the yellow paper on your desk of the potential fiscal these are individuals who have been previously identified impact that it will have on this -- on our schools, and this is just because they have chosen not to consent to vaccinations.

A Gilded Cage: A Feminist Analysis of Manor House Literature By Katelyn Billings ********* Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Department of English UNION COLLEGE April, 2016 Abstract: This thesis focuses on women struggling with social rules and gender restrictions in Victorian and Edwardian English manor houses. The culture of the manor home had an incredibly powerful impact on the female protagonists of the literary texts I analyze, and in this thesis, I demonstrate how it stifled the growth and agency of women. With the end of the age of the British Great Houses in the twentieth century, there was the simultaneous rise of the New Woman, an emerging cultural icon that challenged conservative Victorian conventions. With the values and ideologies surrounding the New Woman in mind, this thesis analyzes the protagonists of Jane Eyre, Howards End and Rebecca in order to present the infiltration of the New Woman in the Great House genre, and how she brought about its end.

  • Has Fallen Short in Its Examination of the Position of Women
    SEX ROLES AND SEX SYMBOLS IN TIKOPIA SOCIETY1 Raymond Firth Professor, London School of Economics. London, England. Most anthropological studies of women's roles nowadays want to make some point of evaluation. Many are concerned to show the struc- tural inequalities in women's position as compared with that of men, and men's discrimination against women in the control of resources and exercise of power. This paper too is evaluative but in a dif- ferent way: my aim is to show how in a society with relatively few natural resources but a male-oriented power structure of some sophis- tication, simple models of inequality, discrimination or exploitation are inadequate. Any anthropological account of sex relationships is bound to be colored by the position and experience of the observer. But I contend that even allowing for some male bias in my reporting and analysis, the empirical data from Tikopia reveal how a concept of a complex set of interrelated variables is the best way to look at the intricate system of sex roles, statuses and symbols in the community. Much of the empirical material referred to in this essay has already been presented in my studies of Tikopia kinship, economics and religion.2 But it is a general conclusion, hardly to be chal- lenged, that the mass of ethnographic writing until quite recently has fallen short in its examination of the position of women. In the light of this fact, it has seemed pertinent for me to ask myself how Tikopia women have appeared in my accounts of the society.
