From the Paper
"The Secret Life of Bees uses the Black Madonna as an important symbol of women leadership. As August tells Lily, "Our Lady is not some magical being out there somewhere, like a fairy godmother. She's not in the statue in the parlor. She's something inside you" (Kidd, 288). This statement is the most important words of wisdom Lily receives throughout the entire novel. The statue in the parlor of the Boatwright home is just that: a statue. Lily learns that it isn't the statue that she needs to give her strength, but the idea it represents. It tells the story of a woman who broke chains, who escaped fate and inspired generations to come. These are the exact things that Lily does to find her new family and break away from T. Ray. "I leaned into them, felt them close around me. One thing is beautiful beyond my words to say it; August holding you" (Kidd, 238). Lily spends the whole novel on a search for her mother's story, as well as her own. She wanted to know the reasons why her mother left, and realized how unprepared she was for the truth when August told her. Lily is too wrapped up in the idea of her biological mother, she forgets about what a mother really is. The Virgin Mary, the Black Madonna's other form, is history's example of a mother. She is sensitive and firm, relatable and Divine. The Black Madonna is who teaches Lily that she has mothers all around her. Rosaleen's protection, May's caring, and August's love, Lily finds a mother in everyone around her, including herself. As stated at the end of the novel, "She is a muscle of love, this Mary" (Kidd, 302)."

From the Paper
"Raphael spent several years in Florence where he produced seventeen images of the Virgin Mary and Child. During that time, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were his primary teachers, which would account for his stylistic rendering of the Madonna and Child. The Small Cowper Madonna, which was done in oil on wood and was completed around 1505, reflects the innovations that he learned form his years with Leonardo. He mirrored the Florentine method of painting that concentrated on intimacy and simplicity of the setting."

From the Paper
"Successfully launching a new perfume line requires a large amount of investment and a careful marketing plan. This paper presents the marketing plan for a perfume brought out under the auspices of actress-singer Madonna Ciccone, known simply as Madonna.
Analysis
Perfume and its related products are highly psychological. A scent which appeals to one individual will repel another. The power of scent has been called the "Proustian effect" since Proust's narrator, Marcel, needed only to smell the slightest hint of a perfume to be transported back to childhood. Perfumes trigger memories, both good and bad, in individuals.
While the scent itself ultimately is what entices a person to wear a given perfume (the term is used in this research to ... "

Abstract
This essay examines Francesco de Simone Ferrucci's famous art work the "Madonna and Child." In many respects, Ferruci's painting of the Madonna and child represented certain themes in late fifteenth-century Florentine art. The painting depicted the living body and represented the religious theme of what the Madonna and Child symbolized. More than anything else, Ferrucci focused on showing the loving nature of the Madonna herself.

Abstract
This paper presents an examination of the entertainer Madonna?s videos and their statement about the societal role of women. It discusses the evolution of females in society over the years through the changes in Madonna?s released videos and focuses on her empowerment of women through her music and videos. It looks at how Madonna spent two decades tearing down preconceived notions of what women were expected to do and how she worked to re-instate the ability to be feminine and proved to the world it does not mean giving up the ability to compete in business.
From the Paper
"It has been said that music is the universal language. It is alleged to have the ability to calm savage beasts, make couples fall in love, and incite violence. Throughout the years music has also had a significant influence on the evolvement of women. The women?s rights movement of the 1960?s started the ball rolling toward equality but when it came to issues such as sexuality and the freedom of females to express themselves there was still a stigma about what ?kind? of woman expressed her sexuality. The entire issue of sexual openness and women in the music industry was taken by the horns and challenged by Madonna. The sexuality of women was not the only area in which Madonna broke through the glass barriers."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the painting 'Madonna and Child' by Duccio di Buoninsegna. The writer notes that the Italian formalization of the Gothic style was implemented within the medium and stylistics of this medieval painting. The writer points out that Buoninsegna's style was part of the Sienese School, which held to the non-passive dictates of religiosity within the Christian iconography in the 13th and 14th centuries. The writer maintains that Buoninsegna was influential in creating a non-passive baby Jesus, which helped to transform the way that the Madonna and Child had been perceived earlier in Christine art. In essence, the formal, iconographic, and historical facets of 'Madonna and Child' by Duccio di Buoninsegna are analyzed in this study.
From the Paper
"The medium of the painting is the common usage of tempera on wooden panels. In the late medieval style it was common to use this form of paint to help bring about a lush and thick layer-based type of paint to bring out the varying contrasting hues. Also, the painting uses gold to help bring about the divine sunlight or religious light of Jesus, as he is reaching toward his mother's face. Mary is draped in a black gown as she looks down upon her divine child. Gold inner-fabric is surrounding her face, as the artist is clearing defining a demarcation of her face in contrast with her dark hood, as she is gazing downward in majesty. The composition has Mary centered in the painting, but has the baby Jesus set off the lower right side."

"I remember the first time I discovered the wonder and joy of masturbation. I was a boy of thirteen and had heterosexuality pouring in and out of every orifice of my body. I can only imagine the new ideas and connections I would have made and the openness I would have achieved as a young member in sexual society had I the opportunity to read Madonna?s Sex and the criticism which followed."

From the Paper
"Advertising has invaded fashion and politics; it has also invaded every facet of the entertainment industry. Commercials now use the best film directors, actors, and cinematography to create watchable miniature movies. In some instances, we have already reached the point where the quality of commercials outshines the quality of entertainment offered side by side on the same network. Meanwhile, recording artists have made the crossover. When Pepsi picked Madonna, the choice turned out to be too hot to handle. The $5 million campaign featuring the extravagant vocalist had to be scrapped because of its links to Madonna?s highly controversial ?Like a Prayer? music video."
