Moran* I cannot imagine a feminist evolution leading to radicalchange in the private/politicalrealm of gender that is not rooted in the conviction that all women's lives are important, that the lives of men cannot be understoodby burying the lives of women; and that to make visible the full meaning of women's experience, to reinterpretknowledge in terms of that experience, is now the most important task of thinking.1 America has always been a very married country. From early colonial times until quite recently, rates of marriage in our nation have been high-higher in fact than in Britain and western Europe.2 Only in 1960 did this pattern begin to change as American men and women married later or perhaps not at all.3 Because of the dominance of marriage in this country, permanently single people-whether male or female-have been not just statistical oddities but social conundrums.

  • Piikanaikiiks: a Literary Analysis of Blackfoot Oral
    PIIKANAIKIIKS: A LITERARY ANALYSIS OF BLACKFOOT ORAL STORIES AND THE TRADITIONAL ROLES OF WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP Shelly Kay Eli Bachelor of Arts in English, University of Lethbridge, 2011 A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of English University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA ©Shelly Kay Eli, 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis is a combination of life writing and literary analysis of select oral stories regarding the leadership role of the woman in Blackfoot culture. I discuss the leadership qualities of The Holy Woman, The Woman Chief/Warrior and The Blackfoot Woman Storyteller and the importance of these identities for contemporary Piikani Women. I explain traditional Blackfoot women’s roles by describing the connection between traditional women’s roles, oral stories, ceremonies, Blackfoot language, and the land. A literary analysis and a comparison of the oral stories found in Percy Bullchild’s The Sun Came Down: The History of The World as My Blackfeet Elders Told It, Beverley Hungry Wolf’s The Ways of My Grandmothers, and Clark Wissler and D C Duvall’s Mythology of The Blackfoot Indians will demonstrate archetypal women in leadership roles, and will show the origins of these traditional roles. The argument for this thesis is to encourage Piikani women to return to traditional Blackfoot roles for the purpose of establishing traditional Blackfoot leadership to balance power between women and men; create healthy communities; and empower future generations of Piikani Women leaders. iii Woman Who Stands Strong I sit by her side stroking her arm, She grows colder her light fades.

From the picare sque novel of the seventeenth century to the esperpentos of Valle - Inclán in the twentieth century, satire, parody, caricature, and comic irony have served as weapons of protest for writers. Prose writing by women writers in postwar Spain offers examples of humor cultivated by those long -oppressed and voiceless in a dictatorship which was very restrictive to women and confined them almost exclusively to domestic life in postwar society.

Informants stress the risks such marriages hold for women, but this research highlights the social, cultural and economic difficulties faced by migrant husbands, comparing their position to that of the ghar damad (house son-in-law). Whilst women are instructed from a young age on the adjustments the move to their husband’s household will entail, male migrants are often unprepared for this situation.

In the ancient, world the demonic vampire is often of feminine gender and it seems that most cultures, at one time or another, have some version of a female vampire or blood-sucking fiend. Some might say that in old-fashioned vampire fiction, for instance Polidori’s “The Vampyre”, the female characters were most often secondary to the males. However, through the development of vampire fiction, female characters have become some-what more powerful and often play a more vital role than before. This essay will explore and discuss the female characters in “Carmilla”, Dracula, Interview with a vampire and The Radleys, emphasizing their different strengths and weaknesses, and comparing them to the status of women in the era in question.

  • The Muslim Woman and Her Husband
    In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER HUSBAND Marriage in Islam In Islam, marriage is a blessed contract between a man and a woman, in which each becomes “permitted” to the other, and they begin the long journey of life in a spirit of love, co- operation, harmony and tolerance, where each feels at ease with the other, and finds tranquility, contentment and comfort in the company of the other. The Qur’aan has described this relationship between men and women, which brings love, harmony, trust and compassion, in the most moving and eloquent terms: (And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your [hearts] . (Qur’aan 30:21) This is the strongest of bonds, in which Allah (subhaanahu wa ‘ta’aalaa) unites the two Muslim partners, who come together on the basis of love, understanding, co-operation and mutual advice, and establish a Muslim family in which children will live and grow up, and they will develop the good character and behavior taught by Islam. The Muslim family is the strongest component of a Muslim society when its members are productive and constructive, helping and encouraging one another to be good and righteous, and competing with one another in good works. The righteous woman is the pillar, cornerstone and foundation of the Muslim family. She is seen as the greatest joy in a man’s life, as the Prophet said: “This world is just temporary conveniences, and the best comfort in this world is a righteous woman.”1 A righteous woman is the greatest blessing that Allah (subhaanahu wa ‘ta’aalaa) can give to a man, for with her he can find comfort and rest after the exhausting struggle of earning a living.

    T. Martínez Vergne Bourgeois women in the early twentieth-century Dominican national discourse Argues that in the early 20th c. a male elite in the Dominican Republic, in formulating a national project toward modernization and economic progress, projected on upper- and middle-class women prescribed roles as subordinate to men. She argues that working-class women were totally seen as unimportant to nation building. She describes how in different writings of the time bourgeois women were depicted as incapable to contribute to the desired progress independently, i.e. other than serving men.

In tandem with this pattern, a bourgeois intelligentsia of recent vintage dedicat- ed its efforts to redefining the polity in the Dominican Republic. With unre- alized economie potential, a history of corrupt politics, and enduring social dissension as backdrop, the formulators of the national project faced a daunt- ing task. They nevertheless embraced the opportunities offered by the sugar boom of the 188Os and 1890s, the assassination of the dictator Ulises Heu- reaux in 1899, and the influx of progressive ideas regarding education and civic participation at the turn of the century.
