Abstract
This paper examines the life of Anna Freud (1895-1982), the daughter of Sigmund Freud, the founder of the psychoanalytical school of psychology. The paper maintains that Anna presents a fascinating study into the validity of her father's theory about "family romance" and the subconscious attraction children have for their opposite sex parent. The paper studies the life and work of Anna Freud and how she lived most of her life in the shadow of her famous father. The paper also looks at how Anna carved out her own individual identity through her pioneering work on child psychoanalysis, ego psychology and the use of defense mechanism in psychiatry, eventually winning acknowledgement as a leader in both the Vienna and British psychoanalytic societies.

From the Paper
"Anna, the youngest of six children, was born to Sigmund and Martha Bernays Freud in Vienna, Austria, on December 3, 1895. She must have been a lively and naughty child as is reflected in a letter that Freud wrote to his friend Fliess in 1899 remarking: "Anna has become downright beautiful through naughtiness." (Quoted in "Life and Work of Anna Freud" 2005) From the beginning, Anna was not particularly close to her mother, but formed a special bond with her father. As a young girl, she lived in the shadow of her elder sister, Sophie, who was more beautiful. Not able to compete to her elder sister in looks, Anna decided to excel in intellect and the family appropriately called them "the beauty and the brain." ("Anna Freud" n.d.)"

Abstract
The paper outlines the background of Anna Freud, the sixth and youngest child of Sigmund Freud. The paper describes how Anna pursued her father's philosophy and beliefs, and focused on the analysis of children. The paper relates how Anna authored "The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense" and also assisted in founding the London-based Hampstead Child Therapy Clinic. Finally, the paper discusses how Melanie Klein's theories of psychology sharply contrasted with the conventional theories of Anna Freud.
From the Paper
"Sigmund Freud is possibly the most renowned individual in regards to psychological theory in the history of the discipline. Acknowledged as the "father of psychoanalysis" Freud introduced controversial theories which included the importance of the "unconscious" mind, the influence of the "id", "ego" and "superego" on behavior and the significance of dreams, however; many individuals do not realize that Freud was also the father of 6 children; one of these children; Anna, would follow in her father's footsteps and create her own impression on the field of psychological theories and investigation."

Abstract
This paper examines how Anna and Vronsky continue an intense relationship although it is considered wrong under Russian societal standards in Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina". It looks at how this relationship goes through many stages, which can be paralleled through Vronsky's relationship with his racehorse Frou-Frou. This paper analyzes the details that prove this parallel.
From the Paper
"Additionally, Frou-Frou's behavior and physical appearance during Vronsky's first visit closely resemble Tolstoy's description of Anna. Frou-Frou is "of unusually wide girth," while Anna is described as "carrying her rather full body" (181, 63). The physical attributes of the horse Vronsky adores closely mirror the initial physical attraction Vronsky has for Anna. Although it may typically be improper to compare a woman with a horse, the physical descriptions are similar. Also, as Vronsky approaches Frou-Frou "the more excited she grew" (182). Frou-Frou's behavior indicates a reciprocated feeling for Vronsky, which Anna also possesses. "

Abstract
This paper explains that Anna Freud was dedicated to her father all through her lifetime and had a close relationship with him rather than with her mother and siblings. The author points out that Anna Freud extended the principle of psychoanalysis to children, but found that her father's 'Little Hans' analysis did not apply to children. The paper relates that Anna Freud thought, when one feature or another of a child's development critically lags behind the rest, the clinician should cite this difficult stage and focus the child's analysis on this specific lag.
From the Paper
"Additionally, her role as a teacher in a school helped her to acquire the insight into ego psychology. She established the Hampstead Child Therapy Course and Clinic in London in 1947 and worked as its director after 1952. She was the author of numerous scientific books and papers and she assisted in setting up the yearly periodical Psychoanalytic Study of the Child, in 1945. She was full of activity on almost all days working on something original or improving something that was old. The succession of projects she handled came so frequently that she did not have any break between projects."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the Greek Poet Sappho and the Russian Poet Anna Akhmatova. Each poet is discussed individually in terms of history, style, overall influence on their era, major emphases, relevant political issues, and life/cultural/societal crises that influenced their work.
From the Paper
"Aeolic dialect (many meters) was used in Sappho's poetry and she became known for her Sapphic Stanza. She wrote mainly for young women. Her principal subject was love and the expression of her feelings for women, her daughter and nature. She also composed songs or poems to celebrate marriage and tell of the events of the wedding day. In the second and third centuries B.C. her poems were collected and edited into nine books. Her work influenced readers, scholars and Roman poets among whom there were: Catullus, Ovid and Horace. By the fifth century A.D., Sappho's poetry was virtually forgotten."
"While exemplifying personal or confessional poetry, Anna achieved universal appeal pro artistic and emotional integrity. Her primary subject was love, mostly frustrated, tragic love with an intensely feminine accent. She later added civic, patriotic and religious themes without sacrificing personal intensity or artistic conscience."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the life and accomplishments of humanist Anna Arnold Hedgeman. Details about her achievements as a mentor and civil rights leader are provided. The main idea of the paper focuses on race relations among African-Americans and the civil rights movement.
From the Paper
"Anna Arnold Hedgeman was born on July 5, 1899, in Marshalltown, Iowa. She was one of five children born, her father being a son of slaves. Hedgeman was well educated, for she attended high school in St. Paul, Minnesota, and later received a degree in English from the Methodist college of Hamline University. Growing up, Hedgeman became a very articulate, outspoken person. Throughout college, she grew very interested in the social injustices and racial inequality of African-Americans. In the ensuing decades of her life, Hedgeman devoted all of her time and energy to assisting many organizations and administrations that were intent on fighting for the rights of workers and for the better welfare of humanity. She acted as a teacher, consultant, and lecturer to these various groups, and eventually she owned her own consulting firm, Hedgeman Consulting Services. The focus of this paper will be to show how Anna Arnold Hedgeman's concern for national and global equality led to her eventual involvement in the Civil Rights Movement and the March on Washington."
