Abstract
This paper takes a look at marriage. The paper discusses various opinions regarding marriage, and the acceptable norms of today as apposed to that of the past.
From the Paper
"All of these attitudes affect the day to day concerns of married couples. The most important issue that younger couples grapple is the financial aspects of the relationship. Living expenses as well as the expense of raising children has increased immensely over the last few generations and it is almost completely expected that the woman will work outside the home even after the couple decide to have children. Because of this expectation of a two-income relationship there is added pressure of having separate vehicles to facilitate the two jobs, childcare concerns, and educational pressures. Both men and women desire advanced educations to secure the most lucrative jobs. If the couple have not already attended college before they were married or before they had children this puts added pressure on the spouse that is not going to be attending school to carry the bulk of the financial load. With these complications in mind it is a valid concern as to whether a second income is actually worth the expense of the extra vehicle, extra education, and the extra money spent on childcare in order for both parents to work."

Abstract
The paper explores statistical evidence that shows how women are currently entering the professional arena in Australia at a higher rate than their male counterparts. The paper relates that several reasons for this change in percentages exist. The paper explains that women are becoming more educated, more women need to earn money to support their families following a divorce and companies may be more inclined to hire women so that they will not be accused of discrimination. Hiring women also allows businesses to apply for loans that require them to have females executives.
Outline:
Introduction
Statistical Proof
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Most people are aware of the worldwide women's movement that has taken place over the past few decades. Historically, women stayed home and tended to children and cleaning, while the men went into the world, carved out careers and brought home the bacon. Several decades ago however, it all changed and women began to demand their rightful place in the workforce. Pursuing degrees, getting technical training and other elements have all been done and today there are more women working outside of the home than ever before. Even with the women's movement comfortably settled in however, it may surprise some to know that women are outpacing men in entering the professions in Australia."

Women in the Mexican Revolution, 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses the role of women during the Mexican Revolution, and how this conflict affected and changed their lives. The paper highlights how women took on the roles of soldiers and even leaders during the Revolution, and how this worked to overcome the subservience imposed upon their gender for centuries. In particular, the author cites the soldaderas, large groups of women who traveled with the respective revolutionary armies and provided care in terms of providing meals, nursing, and laundry services. The paper also examines the role of female intellectuals during the revolution. The author concludes that in each of the various roles, a particular progression emerges in terms of the reinvention of women and their paradigms in Mexican society.
From the Paper
"Equally important, but much more prominent perhaps because of their radical departure from the shadow of recognized feminine status quo of the time, was the role of the female intellectual in the Mexican Revolution. These women generally did not fight a physical battle, like the soldaderas or the female soldier, but rather an intellectual battle. They used their intelligence to further the cause of the Revolution, and are recognized as one of the most important sectors of the female population of the time...."

The Morning After Pill, 2007.
A discussion on the FDA's (Food and Drug Administration) decision to not approve the morning-after pill for over-the-counter sales.
1,273 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer argues that the morning-after pill is one more strategy for controlling reproduction. The paper examines how the pill offers women a second chance to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, a "Plan B" to go to if the first plan fails. The paper further examines how emergency contraception is safe and reliable and effective for nearly 90% of women. The writer concludes that taking a morning-after pill is far from irresponsible; it makes good sense.
From the Paper
"Emergency contraception is extremely safe. A combined dose of four 50-microgram pills is only about 1/3 of the estrogen contained in a month's supply of birth control pills. Women in the 1960s, when birth control pills first came out, took 50-micrograms every single day! Other medicines, which were once prescription-only, have become over the counter medicines with no problems--why not this needed product? Ferriman (1996) reports, "Nine out of ten women who have had abortions say they would have preferred to use emergency contraception if they had known about it." She also states that 70% of abortions could be prevented by emergency contraception."

Outline:
Introduction to Literature Review
Overview of Education Management in SA
The Failing Educational System in SA
Summary Literature Review
From the Paper
"Many argue that education management is a right for women that will help promote women's power and authority, something that is much needed in many Islamic dominated countries including Saudi Arabia. Still others argue for more power to women, power especially for them to work; this of course requires that women are educated properly."
"Afkhami and Akeel note that education management is vital to ensure women have the same educational opportunities as men to pursue their human rights and freedoms, and abilities to pursue meaningful and worthwhile causes and careers. Pharaon notes that Saudi Arabia's economic development may rest on the ability of the nation to produce educated women that are capable of contributing to society in meaningful ways. This may include providing more employment opportunities in high-level capacities for women. However, women's universities are not structured yet in a way that will significantly promote this outcome according to many."

"The Handmaid's Tale", 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses Margaret Atwood's novel "The Handmaid's Tale". The paper specifically discusses the novel's portrayal and theme of the right's of women. It describes scenes from the novel and discusses use of language and plot, to illustrate the plight of the women that it portrays. The paper suggests that the novel reveals scenarios chillingly similar to contemporary life.
From the Paper
"Margaret Atwood's novel The Handmaid's Tale reveals a remarkably realistic dystopia in which sexism reaches a deplorable height. Narrator Offred recalls the past as days of anarchy and tension, in which women's roles were not ideal but still substantially better than life in Gilead. The fall of the United States and the rise of Gilead signify a major turning point for women in which they become nothing more than machines for bearing children and in which their rights and freedoms are totally curtailed. After the close of Offred's narrative, historians in Nunavit discuss the handmaid's tale with scholastic intensity, revealing a potentially hope-filled future. Women's rights and freedoms change only little throughout Atwood's novel but reach a definite down point during the ascension of Gilead."

Women's Suffrage in the 19th Century, 2007.
This paper examines the women's suffrage movement in America during the 19th century.

Abstract
This paper traces the history of the women's suffrage movement in 19th century America, with an emphasis on its leaders and goals. In particular, the contributions of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Fanny Wright are illustrated through their writings and lectures. The paper states that women earning the right to vote meant a nearly complete transformation of social norms in the United States. The paper also describes the connection between the abolitionist movement and women's suffrage. The writer concludes that despite the ratification of the 19th Amendment, women still suffered from widespread discrimination and continue to fight for equal rights even today.
From the Paper
"Susan B. Anthony and scores of other prominent suffragists rallied as much for the cause of abolition as for women's rights. One of the most notable companion causes of 19th century suffragists was the temperance movement. In fact, suffragist Frances Willard had been intimately involved in the Christian Temperance movement and in 1891 became president World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union. The temperance movement's primary objective was the reduction in alcohol abuse, and in 1872, the Prohibition Party became the "first national political party to recognize the right of suffrage for women in its platform," ("Women's History in America"). Therefore, the women's suffrage movement did not exist in isolation of other social, economic, and political causes."

Developing a Birthing Room at a Hospital, 2007.
An analysis of the benefits of having a well-equipped birthing room in a hospital.

Abstract
This paper discusses the increasing preference of women to give birth in birthing rooms. It discusses the benefits of the relaxed and comfortable environment of the birth rooms and how many hospitals are now beginning to build birthing rooms. The paper discusses the necessary amenities that should be available in all birthing rooms for a comfortable, yet safe delivery.
From the Paper
"Recent research has shown that the place of birth has a direct impact on the pace and quality of delivery, and when the woman feels confident and satisfied with the choice that she has made about her place of delivery, then she can be sure that her delivery would be as uncomplicated and natural as she desired it to be. A birthing room in a hospital, with the bare minimum of medical intervention and a homely atmosphere, with provisions for the partner and the family of the woman to take part in the amazing phenomenon of birth would be the ideal option for today's woman having a baby, unless she has had complications during her pregnancy, for which a hospital setting would be a much better option. Having a safe and comfortable and natural delivery is the ideal of every woman on earth, and if a hospital facilitates this, then the woman would be obliged forever to the hospital and the medical team that helped create this setting and put it into action. (Evidence regarding place of birth)"

Women in Early Medieval Society, 2006.
This paper looks at how, during the early medieval period, women had few opportunities to advance in society due to the strict rules that governed them.
1,695 words (approx. 6.8 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, although there were a few women who were writers, artists, religious leaders and even saints, the vast majority of women during the medieval period, whether they were upper class, merchant class or peasants, were expected to perform domestic functions with their chief duty being reproduction and the care of children. The author stresses that one of the key problems women faced in any situation was simply the belief of their inferiority derived from a strict adherence to religion in which women were overtly blamed for Eve's sin. The paper relates that the restrictions, which kept aristocratic women on their estates and merchant women in their shops, did not apply to peasant women who enjoyed greater freedom of movement; however, peasant women did not have real rights or opportunities to improve their status in any way because they were limited by a lack of education, which would have been deemed unnecessary, and a lack of money.
From the Paper
"One of the key problems with evaluating women's position in medieval society is simply a lack of available information. Very little has survived in written form from the period and what does exist does not mention women very frequently. The job of the scholar is to read what little material is available and read and study between the lines of written documents and artistic renderings of the period to determine exactly what role women were playing in the society. Women had no independence of thought or idea, but once married or connected to a religious order, they could hold quasi-positions of leadership."

Abortion - Social Movement, 2007.
This paper discusses women's rights, focusing on the subject of abortion.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how a particular social movement - the pro-choice movement - was able to institute such a far-reaching change in American society. The writer points out that Roe vs. Wade served as a unifying issue for the many women's groups that formed the emerging women's movement. In addition, the writer notes that the Supreme Court decision gave groups such as the National Organization of Women (NOW) a legal platform to challenge the two major political parties regarding party policies on women's rights. The writer concludes that this greater participation signaled the growing importance of the women's vote in politics and also showed how a broad-based social movement could affect important social change.
From the Paper
"Prior to Roe vs. Wade, abortion had been illegal in the United States. This does not mean, however, that abortions did not occur. As early as the 19th century, many American women were having risky abortions done under potentially dangerous conditions. In fact, it was the death of a woman from a botched abortion that pushed Margaret Sanger to devote her life to the campaign for contraception."
"In 1955, Planned Parenthood, the organization founded by Sanger, organized a conference called "Abortion in America." The conference discussed the restrictive state laws that continued to ban abortion and set the stage for future challenges to the constitutionality of these laws."

Moral Philosophy, 2006.
A review of a moral dilemma case involving an unfaithful wife.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a look at the philosophy of a moral dilemma. This paper discusses the sad scenario of the unfaithful wife known as "Jane" who finds herself faced with two equally unpleasant choices that are the consequences of her infidelity. The paper reviews and discusses these choices from different moral and philosophical perspectives.
From the Paper
"The advocate of social contract theory would stress that marriage is a social contract. When Jane violated this social contract, she did not merely personally cause her husband to feel bad. She also caused a rift in one of the institutions that uphold modern society. Even if no one is directly harmed by her actions, by devaluing the institution of marriage, either her own or the institution of the man whom she transgressed with, she is still doing harm to society. A social contract theorist would care little about Jane, her husband's, or the other man's feelings like a virtue ethicist. Rather the theorist would view Jane's decisions from a societal rubric, and point out that if every person felt free to be unfaithful, the moral fabric of society would completely disintegrate. "

The Uterus, 2007.
An anatomical and biological examination of the female reproductive organ, the uterus.
2,135 words (approx. 8.5 pages), 15 sources, MLA, $ 66.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the female reproductive organ, the uterus. It discusses the anatomy of the uterus and its relationship to other organs in the body, the primary biological function of the uterus and the several diseases that the uterus is prone to. The paper focuses briefly on ovarian cancer and the assessments and treatments that a woman with this form of cancer can expect.
From the Paper
"If it is a cancer of the endometrium, then the woman may be able to find relief from surgical staging exploratory laparotomy, which would also need a peritoneal cytology assessment. If it is found that the disease is in stage 1, wherein the cancer is confined to the uterus, adjuvant therapies would be started based on the pathologic features of the disease. If the disease were at stage 2, which would involve the entire uterus, and the cervix, hysterectomy would be the best option. It must be remembered that endometrial cancer is one of the most curable of all forms of cancer; perhaps it is generally detected at a very early stage by the woman. The five-year survival rates for the patient with cervical cancer can be much poorer, if there is poorly differentiated tumor histology. (Gynecologic Malignancies, endometrial, ovarian and cervical cancer)"

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper", 2007.
This paper discusses the characters of John and Jane in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper".

Abstract
This paper reviews Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper." The author compares imagination versus practicality through Jane and John, the two main characters in the book. Although the paper weighs the advantages of imagination and practicality, the writer concludes that both are necessary in order to lead a healthy life. This was demonstrated in the story through Jane's psychotic breakdown.
From the Paper
"The characters of John and Jane in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" can be seen to represent a clear dichotomy of practicality and imagination. As the story progresses we can see that, though the two states of mind can certainly co-exist in harmony, when one tries to repress or overwhelm the other, it can lead to dire consequences. The events of the story turn "The Yellow Wallpaper" into an exaggerated example of how, when a problem is not fully understood, the solution can lead to precisely the opposite of what was intended. "

The youngest of five children, her birth name was Jeannette; however, upon embarking upon her mission, she became Jeanne, la Pucelle, or Joan, the Maid. Growing up in the agrarian village, Joan's was taught the typical domestic skills, including spinning and sewing, by her mother, as well as religion. She is quoted as stating, "It was my mother alone who taught me the 'Our Father' and 'Hail Mary' and the 'Creed', and from none other was I taught my faith" ."
