"Surgical treatment is considered depending on the patient's age, symptoms, and desire to have children. Surgery is the treatment of choice if women are suffering from moderate to severe symptoms of endometriosis. If there are adhesions, with acute rupture of large endometriomas, ureteral and intestinal obstruction, then surgery is the treatment of choice (Katz et al., 2007). Laparoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure. Surgical treatment for endometriosis should be carried out for a shorter recovery period. Patients who had undergone laparoscopy for treating endometriosis were found to have improved sex lives 6 to 12 months after the procedure. These women have enjoyed an increased variety in sexual life, frequency of intercourse, had more satisfying orgasms, and had a more relaxed attitude when engaged in coital activities (Ferrero et al., 2006)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Louise Bogan's poem, "Women", and explains that Bogan uses the motif of wilderness in the poem to state that women have no freedom. The paper also points out that sexual imagery permeates the poem because Bogan also is commenting on sexual freedom. Stanza by stanza, the paper interprets the poem stressing that the tone of "Women" is overtly bitter and bordering on nihilistic.

From the Paper
"Sexual imagery becomes more phallic in subsequent stanzas. In the third stanza, the narrator refers to "stiffening" and then in the fourth, to "clean wood" and to "love." However, sexuality is not the core theme of "Women," which underscores ennui and depression as primary lenses through which women encounter the world. Returning to the theme of freedom, the poet starts the third stanza with a line about journeys and how women "wait" when they should embark."

Abstract
The paper explains that, in John Cheever's "The Swimmer", protagonist Neddy Merril decides to use his county's swimming pools as a means of transportation back to his house. The author points out that, as Neddy travels from neighbor to neighbor, pool to pool, he goes through the dark underbelly of suburbia, discovering the confinement of both his and his community's lives. The paper relates that the constrictive nature of the suburbs is implicit in the idea of the pool itself. The author suggests that the pool is a subversion of nature; it's a construction by which water, the most natural of all earthly things and a necessity of life, is set within a rigid box or circle for the purposes of activity or leisure. The paper concludes that the suburbia of Cheever's story is a carefully constructed and constricted bubble that has long since lost its connection with nature and the natural, physical world.

From the Paper
"The confinements of Neddy's surroundings are further highlighted by the progression of his journey. At the first pool, the water is green and warm, and the apples are in bloom; it's spring time and the water is comforting. From here, Neddy's progresses to the Bunkers' party, where he is welcome, and then to the Levy's, where the party has ended and the leaves fall from the trees in yellow and red tufts. By journey's end, the water has a "wintry gleam" and the sky above does not hold the summer stars, but rather Andromeda, Cepheus, and Cassiopeia, the constellations of winter."

Abstract
This paper examines the many facets of Coco Chanel's artistry. The first part of the paper looks at Chanel as a product of her social environment, discussing the factors that have contributed to the evolution of Chanel's style and clothing designs. The next part examines Chanel's designs and choice of fabrics. Chanel never defined herself as a feminist, but she created clothing that freed women from the constricting clothes of the Victorian era. In this sense, she both reflected and contributed to the growing women's liberation movement. In the final section, the paper describes two representative examples of Chanel's enduring designs, the Chanel suit and the little black dress. It examines how these two articles of clothing have changed the way women dress, both for business and for special occasions. This paper argues that Chanel contributed not only to the modern artistic movement, but also to the modern women's movement. Through Chanel's artistic creations articulated in her fashion, clothing and perfume have allowed women to express their femininity in new, less constricting, and more liberating ways.

From the Paper
"Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel was born on August 19, 1883 in Saumur, a small city in France. Chanel, however, did not have the benefit of growing up with a stable family life. Shortly after Chanel's father abandoned his family, the children were raised by relatives and later, in an orphanage ("Gabrielle Chanel"). It is difficult to reconstruct much of Chanel's early life, largely because Chanel herself told conflicting stories regarding her past. The most widely-accepted story states that Chanel learned dressmaking either from strict aunts or from taking design courses in school. However, biographer Alex Madsen points out that this is fantasy. Instead, Chanel learned dressmaking from an orphanage, under the tutelage of nuns who raised her after her mother's death. She later underwent a standard apprenticeship with a provincial dressmaker (Madsen 28)."

Abstract
This paper argues that the author of the ancient text "The Dream of the Rood"'s presentation of the mystery of the Redemption is dependent on his presentation of the symbol of the cross, especially in terms of vocabulary and grammar. It reflects on the idea that the poem is prefigured by the poet's obedience to contemporary theological doctrine i.e. the need to present simultaneously Christ's triumph and suffering. It concludes with the idea that Rood is not constricted to the realms of biblical paraphrase 'in that it is without analogue', meaning that the poem ultimately is forced to develop its own unique (and fully poetic) statement on the mystery of the Redemption.

From the Paper
"The Rood poet makes his statement on the "Mystery of the Redemption" in a way that treads the tightrope between Christ's divinity and humanity. The mystery of the Redemption is, thus, a question of Christ's crucifixion; it is dependent on whether one considers the crucifixion to be an example of triumph, or suffering. Anglo-Saxon doctrine recognized a concomitance between divinity and triumph, and humanity and suffering , in terms of Redemption doctrine. The task of instilling such a paradox in a literary figure (in the case of Christ) is, to say the least, hazardous: it requires that Christ is simultaneously human and suffering, and divine and triumphal. The ingenuity of Rood is that the poem uses the symbol of the cross to represent Christ's humanity."

Abstract
The paper looks at two short stories - "Paul's Case" by Willa Cather and "The Destructors" by Graham Greene - and examines the contrasts and similarities between two of the main characters, Trevor and Paul.
The paper shows how both characters are rebels, although the way they rebel differs. It discusses how Trevor's is a physical rebellion, brought on by peer pressure and a need to destroy. Paul, on the other hand, rebels from the inside by way of outlandish clothes and mannerisms - as if to separate himself from the constricted society he finds himself in.

From the Paper
"Another difference is that Paul lives in fantasies, but Trevor does not. Paul sees the people of Cordelia street as unworthy of what he imagines himself to be and behaves sarcastically towards them, especially his teachers. He wears unbecoming clothes and loses attention to show that he does not belong there. But his rebellion exacts a much higher price in his mind, because he has no power to alter society without forfeiting something of magnitude his liberty or his life. Trevor's ambition is only for the day and does not involve his entire existence."

Abstract
Jane Austen and Mary Wollstonecraft were writers with two distinctly different styles of writing, who created a furor with their controversial styles of presentation. The paper shows that although each wrote in different ways, they were similar in conceptions of theme. Both feminist writers, Austen and Wollstonecraft underlined the constrictions placed on women in society and the oppression they faced as their individuality was objectified in terms of beauty and societal class. The paper examines these issues as they are reflected through Austen's works such as "Mansfield Park" and Wollstonecraft's "A Vindication Of the Rights of Women."

From the Paper
"Austen's opposition to gender typecasting is best represented in the novel Mansfield Park where the unattractiveness of her protagonist became a focal criticism. Critics have seen Fanny as passive, uninteresting, ugly and morally debasing---everything in fact that undermined the concept of women at the time. This objection to Fanny's physical beauty then coincides with the belief that women of the time were objectified as sex symbols and their beauty became the core of their status in society.
Wollstonecraft's "A Vindication Of the Rights of Women," too suggested disgust toward the female body and her use of the disembodied woman as the emblem for the diseased body politic. Mary Wollstonecraft's concept of motherhood as public service in the interest of the republic suggested in her work presented the influence of women to be stronger than that acknowledged by men. As she wrote, "How grossly do they insult us who thus advise us only to render ourselves gentle, domestic brutes!""

Abstract
In a 'Columbia Law Review' article published in 1999 -- "Lifetime Employment: Labor Peace and the Evolution of Japanese Corporate Governance" -- authors Gilson and Roe maintain that the Japanese practice of constricting the external labor market is responsible for firms' willingness to invest in human capital. They specifically reject the proposition that Japan's institution of lifetime employment could be the impetus for such corporate outlay. This paper contends, however, that social norms, coupled with a divergent development of Japan's employment law, gave rise to its lifetime employment policy and that this resulting policy accounts for employers' willingness to invest in human capital. The paper argues that a closed market is the result -- not the cause -- of corporate investment in employees.

From the Paper
"It is recognized that Japanese labor law theory is firmly established in that of the Weimar Republic, which gave preference to group interests over that of the individual. The theory began to evolve during Japan's first industrialization at the end of the 19th century, when a severe shortage of skilled labor fostered worker migration from company to company. The situation was exacerbated when, in the 1920s, Japan underwent a series of hostile, chaotic strikes, which further caused significant labor turnover in key industries."
