Abstract
This paper looks at how Margaret Sanger?s dedication to birth control as a woman?s right, as depicted in Ellen Chesler?s biography, "Woman of Valor: Margaret Sanger and the Birth Control Movement in America", allies Sanger as an early radical feminist. It examines the personal, professional and political/intellectual experiences and friendships that have shaped and changed these positions over her life, with a focus on her work as a nurse and her relationship with Emma Goldman. Finally, it shows how despite these changing positions, a constant belief throughout her life was that women should have access to birth controlt her life.
From the Paper
"Sanger?s first foray into feminism was through the radical bohemian culture flourishing in pre-war Greenwich Village. Margaret?s husband William Sanger was a Socialist and Margaret became involved with the party?s early efforts to mobilize women members, particularly from women laboring in the garment industry. When the Socialist Party embraced the cause of women?s suffrage, Margaret was put in charge of promoting the vote for women. Records from 1911 show that she participated in distributing leaflets and pamphlets, agitating for the right to vote. However, Margaret became dissatisfied with the focus on suffrage. Many aspects of her personal life and her work as a visiting nurse convinced her that the Socialist focus on suffrage was ?a low priority in the larger struggle of working women for economic and social justice? (59)."

Abstract
This paper examines the life, work, and leadership of Margaret Sanger, an advocate for women?s rights and, in particular, reproductive rights. It looks at her selfless fight to legalize contraception in an era in which many were ready to hear such a message, but many others were ardently opposed to her work and to the possibility that women might, indeed, gain greater rights in American society.
From the Paper
"Sanger believed that it was the right of everyone to have enough information about birth control to make their own decisions about the morality and practicality of using it and began a magazine titled The Woman Rebel that attacked the restrictions placed on the circulation of information about contraception by the an 1873 piece of federal legislation called the Comstock Law. This highly restrictive law made it a crime to distribute any device or medicine that could be used as a contraceptive or abortificient or any information about birth control or abortion or even to cite in print the name of any sexually transmitted disease. The law also banned doctors and nurses from providing such information to their patients."

"The early twentieth century was a revolutionary turning point in American history. This was especially true regarding woman and their rights. During this time period, there was a tremendous amount of human suffering. Those who endured much of this were women. Although there were many women who made their mark on history during this time period, Margaret Sanger was among the most influential, yet controversial women of her time. Her work in creating what is today known as Planned Parenthood, and her avocations to legalize birth control, remain a controversy to this day. "

"The publication of The Woman Rebel laid the foundation for the future work of the birth control movement and the personal crusade of Margaret Sanger. She continued to challenge the Comstock Laws by opening the nation's first birth control clinic in Brownsville, Brooklyn in 1916, founding a new monthly, the Birth Control Review in 1917, and by organizing the first American birth control conference in New York in 1921 (Margaret). Sanger founded the American Birth Control League that same year, and by 1923 opened the Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau, the prototype for a national network of doctor-staffed clinics that sprang up around the country in the 1920s and 1930s (Knowles)."

From the Paper
"Introduction
The pressure for a more explicit statement and codification of women's reproductive rights today derives from two major forces in society, the first being the movement for equality for women before the law and the second from concerns about the environment and the damage done to the world ecosystem and social order by overpopulation. The issue has been framed as "reproductive rights" by the women's movement, and under this rubric are included issues of contraception, sexual freedom, and abortion. Those who oppose reproductive rights often do so for religious reasons, from a dedication to the traditional family unit and to traditional conceptions of women's social roles. These are not new issues, but they have been particularly powerful in motivating large numbers of people to agitate for..."

Abstract
This paper chronicles the tumultuous life of Margaret Tudor, Queen Regent of Scotland, sister of the notorious Henry VIII, and grandmother of Mary, Queen of Scots. Although it does touch on the political issues of her day, the author focuses more on Margaret's personal life, including her three marriages, divorce and her struggle to hold her power in a man?s world.
From the Paper
"The word queen conjures up an image of beautiful clothes, a doting king, happiness and an idle lifestyle. The life of Margaret Tudor, Queen of Scotland, shatters these myths. Widowed at a young age, she was left to act as regent for her infant son in a climate of political turmoil and dangerous power struggles. As a member of ?the weaker sex?, Margaret was not taken seriously and was expected to sit back and let others govern Scotland in her name. Margaret refused to do so, and suffered for it. Not even her brother, Henry VIII of England, would aid her unless she agreed to be his pawn. Margaret also flouted convention by marrying for love, not once, but twice, and by divorcing her second husband in a time when marriage was a sacred lifelong bond no matter it?s problems. "

Abstract
This paper briefly examines Margaret Newman's history, including the development of her health as expanding consciousness theory. The paper also examines the basic tenets of the theory and discusses two examples of expanding consciousness in nursing practice. Finally, the paper compares and contrasts Newman's theory with that of Martha Rogers' unitary theory.
Table of Contents:
Margaret Newman
The Theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness
A Critique of Newman's Theory
Newman's Theory and Rogers' Unitary Theory
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Newman's theory is not particularly accessible to most people in or out of the nursing profession. Neither is it particularly congruent with reality. Referring back to McKenna, this theory does not appear to be a nursing theory as such, because it does not treat nursing as a unique profession (1997, p. 234). McKenna discusses the analysis of 62 nursing theories in terms of how their internal validity would stand up to testing. Of the 62 theories, McKenna indicates that only nine reached adequate levels of empirical testing. In the case of a grand theory such as Newman's empirical testing is difficult at best; it would seem unlikely that sufficient testing could be done to test its validity. In summation, then, while Newman's abstract theory may produce some basis for discussion, as a nursing theory its practical use is negligible."

Margaret Walker: A Creative Survivor, 2004.
An analysis of the novel, "Jubilee", by Margaret Walker.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how "Jubilee" was the crowning achievement of Margaret Walker?s career. A sprawling novel about Civil War-era blacks, the novel is simultaneously a preservation of Walker?s family history and an historically accurate portrayal of slavery life for many blacks of the times. In particular, the novel is a testament to Walker as a creative survivor, which she discusses in her essay, ?How I Wrote 'Jubilee'.? It explores how Margaret Walker can be considered a creative survivor in three ways. First, through her dedication and diligence, she kept the "Jubilee" project alive over a span of many years. Secondly, "Jubilee" is the representation of the survival of Walker?s heritage; the novel is her creative way of preserving, not only the history of her family, but also the history of black Americans in the face of historical whitewashing. Finally, in ?How I Wrote Jubilee?, Walker shows how important the creative process is to her own personal survival; it is the lens through which she sees the world and without her creative outlets, she herself could not survive.
From the Paper
"Walker as a creative survivor is also evident in the fact that the project itself is a way to preserve the author?s own history and that of her family. From the beginning, the novel was a labor of love for Walker and her inspiration to write it had more to do with her love for her family than anything else. ?Most of my life I have been involved with writing this story about my great-grandmother, and even if Jubilee were never considered an artistic or commercial success I would still be happy just to have finished it? (Walker 50). The story of the novel was intensely personal, and Walker believed it was her duty to preserve this oral history that had been passed down from her great-grandmother."

Abstract
This paper explains how Margaret Luarence showcases the contrary themes of paralysis and freedom through the clever use of symbolism in her short story, "The Loons". More specifically, the paper demonstrates how paralysis is symbolized by the life circumstances of the character Piquette, which includes her family, her health and the shack she inhabits, while freedom is symbolized by the loons.
From the Paper
"Piquette's family has been residing in the Wachakwa Valley, near the town Manawaka, for over fifty years. She lives in nothing more than a shack and her family works odd jobs in between the periods of relief payments. Sometimes the males in the family even get into trouble with the law by participating in bar fights. The locals from Manawaka consider her family to be "neither flesh, fowl, or good salt herring" (Laurence 985). Since they are not pure Cree, the "Cree of the Galloping Mountain reservation" (985) do not want them and due to their low socio-economic situation, the other communities from Manawaka do not accept them either."

Margaret Edson's "Wit", 2006.
This brief, yet concise, paper examines the use of role reversal in Margaret Edson's textually rich stage production of "Wit", while also detailing the plot of the story as well as the main characters.

Abstract
This paper traces the ordeal of Dr. Bearing, distinguished scholar of 17th-century metaphysical poetry, from her diagnosis of ovarian cancer through her treatment under the watchful eye of Dr. Kelekian, as depicted in Margaret Edson's play "Wit." This paper analyzes Edson's stage production which is rich with word play, inter-textual gestures and most importantly, with irony. "Wit" is built primarily on the complex ironies available through the dramatic strategy of role reversal. The writer of this brief yet concise paper details the plot and main characters of the play.
From the Paper
"This clearly delineated division in Donne's corpus of work reflects Dr. Bearing's own divided self. On the one hand a scholar of renown, she is a woman who has essentially turned away from her own body, relegating social life and personal relationships to a place of minor importance in her life. Without partner, lover, or even close friend, Bearing is, despite her claims to the contrary, negligent in her scholarship, unable and unwilling to even attempt to reconcile Dr. Donne (the spiritual) with John Donne. Ironic, too, is the fact that, in the end, the scholarly lover of the intensely spiritual poems is, like all patients in the ward, a prisoner of a body ravaged by cancer, a body that suffers and fails, and a body that can and does overwhelm even the strongest mind and strongest spirit."

Margaret Atwood's "Surfacing", 2008.
An analysis of the theme of silence in Margaret Atwood's "Surfacing".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the symbolic aspects of Margaret Atwood's, "Surfacing" and argues that silence is something that pervades the entire novel and keeps people from saying what needs to be said. The paper also examines how the narrator's strange relationship with Joe reveals her inability to communicate and how she views him with silent disdain, never deigning to sit down with him to see if there is a way for that sentiment to be turned into something more positive.
From the Paper
"The symbolism of the novel's setting is unmistakable. The story begins with the narrator returning to the remote northern Quebec hinterland to seek her father, who is missing and with whom the narrator is estranged. The opening line, "I can't believe I'm on this road again," (Atwood, 3) gains in significance when the full nature of the narrator's relationship with her dad is revealed. Quite simply, she had thought the tie between them had been severed permanently - only now she is returning once more to seek out the man she had, for all intents and purposes, left behind years earlier. "
