Abstract This paper examines the article "Crimson Tide" by author Atul Gawande about Christine Drury's life of blushing. It looks at how the article tells the extreme procedures a young lady endured to be rid of the stressful emotion of blushing.
From the Paper "In this article, Gawande wrote about Drury's embarrassing red chest and face, which caused her career life to suffer. Drury wanted to work on television from the time she was a little girl. Gawande told how Drury, at the age of twenty-six, became an overnight anchor woman for Channel 13 News. Although Drury always wanted to be on television, she could not change her intense blushing problem. The redness of the face and neck was not the only problem Drury had while blushing. Drury would become fully aware when the blushing process began. The blushing could be triggered by the stumble of words or Drury realizing that she was talking too fast. "
Abstract This paper gives a concise history of the English theater scene in the 18th century and focuses on the second half, around 1770, when Mary Robinson acted. The paper discusses women in show business and talks about the challenges they faced and what it took to be successful. The paper uses "Mary Robinson's Memoirs" to examine her acting career.
From the Paper "To switch was rare, and most players were loyal to one theater during their entire career, as was Mrs. Robinson. Articles bound them to one theater and their contracts had to be agreed on well in advance of an opening night (Hogan xcix). It was hard to be an actor, and woman had an even harder time in the business because they were excluded from management because of gender inequality in society."
