Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between men and women since the late 1700s from the Marxist perspective and finds the reason as to how the factors in this relationship can be linked to broader issues such as those of "freedom of equality" within society and modernity.
From the Paper
"The publishing of the work "The Manifesto of the Communist Party" took place over 150 years ago and was published in London during the year of 1848. This document has been read by many. The Manifesto was written by Karl Marx and Frederich Engels and is said to have been strongly influenced by Engel's "practical experience of capitalism" . Engels grew up in England during the mid 1840's. Engel's work "The Condition of the Working Class in England" was a critical work focusing on British capitalism. At the time of the writing of the Communist Manifesto Karl Marx and Frederich Engels were in the latter part of the twenties. Marx and Engels were co-authors of "Holy Family" in 1845 and "The German Ideology" in 1846 before beginning work on the Communist Manifesto."

From the Paper
"This study will provide a summary and critical review of Deborah Gray White's Ar'n't I A Woman?: Female Slaves in the Plantation South.
White in this book is trying to bring into the public consciousness the suffering endured by female slaves in the slavery-dependent South. She says that most studies of slavery focus, either deliberately or subliminally, on the male slave. And those "few scholars who study black women fail to note that black women suffer a double oppression: that shared by all African-Americans and that shared by most women" (23). With respect to slavery specifically, White says many scholars conclude that female slaves were better treated than male slaves. In fact most black women of the time plowed, planted, and hoed, did.."

"I. Introduction
Among the most divisive issues in America today is the issue of abortion. If one were to judge by news coverage alone, one would assume that the nation is divided into two camps, pro-abortion and anti-abortion (the terms "pro-abortion" and "anti-abortion" will be used here, rather than the misleading terms of "pro-choice" and "pro-life"). In fact, these two camps represent only the extremes of the argument, and the great majority of opinion lies somewhere in the middle, with a wide spectrum of opinion favoring at the same time both some restrictions on the procedure and some acceptance of it (Babbie & Halley, 1994; pp. 49-51).
In recent years, some researchers have come to see abortion as merely a sub-issue contained within the wider issues of gender.."

Abstract
This is an exhaustive paper examining the way that women mentor women in modern American professional society. Examines the history of the phenomenon, and gives information on how mentoring should be given and received.
From the Paper
"Women mentoring women in the workplace is a relatively new phenomenon. Woman-to-woman mentoring encompasses circumstances and rules that are specific to a female style and representative of a female culture. The workplace puts demands on our priorities and our energy that bring new factors into woman-to-woman relationships. Our identity as professional women with career responsibilities affects our interactions with other women who are also committed to improving their performance and achieving greater success. Women learning from women at work, women mentoring each other as career professionals with job and personal lives, is an emerging opportunity with enormous potential to change work and women's lives for the future (Duff, 1999, p. xv & xvi). Mentoring begins with an influence that someone has upon another person. It also can help to shape and develop a person's personality and thoughts. In research, it has been proven that women need role models that help them to pursue and conquer future endeavors in the workforce. Discovery into the differences between males and females might be a way to unlock strategies to aid in diversity counseling as well as provide positions in organizations that are solely devoted to mentorship."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the poetry of Muriel Ruckeyser, as found in her book ?The Book of the Dead?, and that of Adrienne Rich, using her work entitled "Twenty-one Love Poems". The paper gives a biographical background on each of the poets, stressing their importance to the contemporary women?s movement and to American poetry. Rich?s poems are explored for their ideas on the relationships between women, and Ruckeyser?s are studied in terms of their comparison to a documentary and in relation to her strong political view.
From the Paper
"To many, Poetry is the voice of women. It is the way in which women can express their inner thoughts and feelings, to write the things that they can not say. Poetry is more than words on paper but someone?s feelings and life poured into the readers mind. Poets let the readers climb inside their heads and taste what the poet feels, sees, and thinks.
Two major women poets that are in the inner ring of American feminist poets are Muriel Ruckeyser and Adrienne Rich. Though their poetry may be different in content, many of their messages are the same: we need to be heard. Ruckeyser?s ?The Book of the Dead? describes conditions and feelings of the Gauley Bridge tragedy through actual courtroom testimonies to words from actual citizens of the town. Adrienne Rich?s ?Twenty-one Love Poems? describes in many ways, her love of her companion as well as their struggles and times together."

Wallace Stevens and Desire: Woman Lost--Woman Ignored, 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines the "Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens", America poet. The paper shows that desire and desired denied in this work may be interpreted through the archetypal psychology of Carl Jung to disclose the reason for Stevens' preference for places over people and to explain his ambivalence toward the abstract feminine figures in his poems.
From the Paper
"Feminine archetypes reconstruct the distant attitudes in Stevens' poetry by figuring-forth embedded emotions. First, they provide an archetypal perspective on individual poems. Second, they illustrate how, ranging from Harmonium (1923) to The Rock (1954), clusters of motifs influence the poet-hero's psychic development. Although their appearances change to fit their ambiguous roles, these singular feminine figures determine the poet-hero's canon-long struggle to achieve a regulated unity of self. Two categories need to be distinguished: (a) feminine figures and (b) the interior paramour. Their protean capability makes scrupulous demarcations between exterior feminine figures impossible, but three forms or combinations prevail: the summer maiden (Kore or lover), the universal mother or earth mother, and the maiden-mother (an overlapping maid and mother figure). The interior paramour represents a climax to the poet-hero's experience with exterior feminine figures."

The Medusa Myth and the Female Gaze, 2002.
This paper explores the portrayal of female figures in art and myth, focusing on the Medusa myth and the castrating power of the female gaze and their effect of the female self-image.

Abstract
The paper reviews in detail the image of Medusa that pits femininity and masculinity against each other and allowing masculinity to triumph. The paper continues by stating that the gaze of the painted female subject often is depicted with her eyes either diverted from the viewer, or coyly regarding him. The author states that myths like the Medusa myth and the female gaze instruct women that their sexuality is something to be suppressed, that a powerful woman is a dangerous woman, and that the male will triumph in the end.
From the Paper
"Though the familiar image of Medusa as a serpent-haired monster is attributed to the Greeks, the myth of Medusa actually has its roots in pre-classical Mediterranean culture. In the matriarchal societies that existed before Greek civilization, Medusa was far from reviled as she was by the Greeks; instead, she was worshipped as a beautiful mother deity who symbolized wisdom, fertility, and female power. With the advent of Greek civilization, the existing gynocentric religion and mythology were compelled to adapt to the new patriarchal value system."

Abstract
This paper reviews several articles discussing female sexuality. It reviews articles on what female sexuality is, what is involved in the sexuality of females, what helps aide in feminine sexuality and what hinders a women's sexuality. The paper looks at some of the problems associated with women's sexuality and whether these are perceived, physical, or medical problems. Finally,it examine how women see their own sexuality.
From the Paper
"Before the advent of the ?sexual revolution? in the 1960s the subject of female sexuality was considered taboo in so called polite society. Discussion of sexuality by females was viewed as an aberration. Women were taught and told that the normal reaction of women towards sexual intercourse was that they generally did not feel any physical or emotional pleasure from it. Sex was a means to an end; by performing their wifely duty to please their mates women were subjugated to the role of baby maker. This severe repression of female sexuality and its total submission to reproductive functions determined the limits of knowledge for untold generations of women (Gomex 1995)."

Abstract
A close look at the status of women in 17th century England by examining the works, "Hamlet" and "Macbeth". The paper looks at how women are portrayed in a select few of Shakespeare?s works. In doing so, the writer attempts to get an overall feel for Shakespeare's thoughts on the role of women in society. It also brings to light the historical presence of women?s roles in Shakespeare?s society and uses evidence from this time period to discover what may have been the pattern of thought behind these works, which are so revered in today?s society.
From the Paper
"Throughout the Elizabethan period in England, the role of women in society teetered between the traditional and the innovative. This melting pot of female roles was strongly encouraged by Shakespeare in the only way that was allotted him for this time period. Through parody, tragedy, and subtle innuendo the Bard seems to tell of the coming of the equality of women. Or does he? Perhaps there are reasons other then a sense of woman’s equality that inspired Shakespeare to write of women in the manner that he did."

Female Serial Killers, 2005.
This paper discusses that a female serial killer is a much more complicated and complex character than a male serial killer who, unlike women, often commits multiple murders because of sexual motivation.

Abstract
This paper explains that a female serial killer, whose motivations in committing the crime of murder is manifold and range over a wide variety of reasons, often goes unnoticed and goes on committing her crimes, undetected over many years. The author points out that a majority of the female serial killers, who often are quite shy, employ toxic substances, harmful medicines and asphyxiations as their procedure for murder. The paper states that criminal profiling is just another investigative tool, not a total solution; because of the many myths surrounding female serial killers, criminal profiling of female serial killers is not appropriate.

How to Stop or Prevent Creating Profiling the Female Serial Killer
From the Paper
"In some cases, a female can take more females as partners, and the crimes will be asexual, or she can team up with a single man, in which case the crimes become sexual in nature. Female serial killers connive with their male accomplices in forty to forty-five percent of the cases, whereas in fifty-five to sixty percent cases they do it all by themselves. Though killings at the hands of a female serial killer must have been going on from time immemorial, it is only from the year 1960 onwards that serious notice was taken of the phenomenon of the serial killer, when the number of murders began to rise at an alarming rate, and it was in the 1980's that the FBI began to think up a system of identifying and studying the psychology behind a serial killer.

Abstract
This paper looks at a number of issues in Indian society that will perplex even a female head of government. Specifically, time is devoted to looking at the foreign policy issue of immigrant Indian women abuse in America (perpetrated by spouses who are citizens or permanent residents of that country) and why a female leader could surely do no worse than her male predecessors. From there, the paper examines how social justice concerns may finally muscle their way to the forefront of Indian politics. The paper also devotes time to looking at the impetus a female leader might give to political representation initiatives aimed at providing women more seats in the national parliament after generations of marginalization.
From the Paper
"To start with, a female president can begin pushing for changes that will help address women's issues long ignored by male politicians; needless to say, these changes can also be changes in how India approaches other lands on various issues. For example, many Conditional Residency Status Immigrant Women who marry men classified as United States citizens or as permanent residents of America enjoy what is commonly known as "conditional residency" for 24 months. These women must file a joint application to get their condition lifted 90 days before the 24 month period expires. In the case of women who find themselves trapped in abusive relationships, the spouse almost invariably refuses to participate in a joint application. "

Abstract
This paper examines wives? relationships with other women, be they mothers, daughters, or confidantes, as a destructive force in the minds of ancient Greek men.
From the Paper
"There are two main types of women that can change the course of an ancient Greek play by their effects on the tragic heroine: mother and confidante. In the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, we see the first of these types. Demeter, a mother distraught over her daughter?s abduction and rape, is only pacified by the breakup of Persephone?s marriage for four months out of the year. In this case, the cost of preserving the mother-daughter bond is the sacrifice of the daughter?s marriage for a third of every year. The maternal bond and the marriage bond seem to be incompatible; here, the two are unable to coexist spatially or temporally. It is Demeter who, by her passive-aggressive registration of disapproval, manages to become every son-in-law?s nightmare by turning his newlywed wife against him. "

Female Friendships in Literature, 2008.
This paper contrasts the importance of female friendships as described in J. Bauman's "Winter into Spring" and despaired of in "The Existential Paralysis of Women" by Simone de Beauvoir.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, although male dominated society excludes and exploits women, as portrayed in Ibsen's "A Doll House", the importance of friendship between women can overcome their marginality and restore women to the center of a husbanding society. The author compares Bauman's work to Beauvoir's and points out that Beauvoir writes about the exploitation of women in Western bourgeois society; whereas, Bauman recounts the trials of women in the void of that society smashed to pieces by the Nazis. The paper relates that Beauvoir sees the "eternal feminine" nature of a woman as shaped by the male dominated, patriarchal social structure even if women join together to off set the "masculine universe". The author thenstates that, in contrast, in Bauman's existential account of WWII, the friendship of five women who do "band together" to establish a "counter-universe" and survive is not only important but also vital.
From the Paper
"The women in Mrs. Pietrzyk's room joined their common longings for life and love to link themselves back into the woman's world of hope, mystery, the sway of her body moving through the ebbs and tides, and the attainment of woman's wisdom. They did this with nothing but their hearts in a time of death. The rejected martyrdom and the paralysis mold. De Beauvoir says the lot of woman's life is passive waiting, but in truth nothing is more powerful: "I've been thinking now about this glorious future that I dreamed up last night. Will it come true? Shall I ever live a free, useful, happy life with someone I love and who loves me? "

Abstract
This study examines the extent to which females' roles are influenced by their cultural background. It focuses on close examination of how Korean and Japanese cultural influences affect a woman?s career aspirations and expectations for success in society. The first section consists of an observational review of the literature available regarding female roles in Japan and Korea, and an analysis of the two cultures is provided. The second half of the study entails a field study of American students with Korean and Japanese cultural backgrounds in an attempt to ascertain to what extent female student roles are influenced by the models of their parents, the majority of whom were raised in Japan or Korea. First-generation students/families are examined to assess the most accurate information.
From the Paper
"In a study conducted by Song (2001) women?s career aspirations were examined among 482 Korean college women in South Korea. The study showed that a formal education perpetuating gender inequality exists among many of the students, thus many students based on educational experience only would not be able to envision themselves in a career. Rather the inter-relationships and external factors such as peer influences and internal factors such as maternal influences and the mother-daughter relationship were examined to uncover to what extent a woman?s self perception and career orientation were influenced. The study acknowledged that a woman?s choice of roles and career aspirations were tied to developmental history and the pressures of the social climate (Song, 2001:1)."
