From the Paper
"Judith Dulberger's "Mother Donit fore the Best" presents selections from correspondence between the superintendent of a nineteenth-century orphanage and the parents of some of his charges, children who had left the orphanage, and foster families. The author presents the material with an extended introduction and an epilogue in which she discusses the value of these letters as evidence not only of life in the institution, but of the relations between the poor and the orphanage, and the nature of the poorer classes' conception of family. Dulberger argues that these letters contradict notions about the attitudes and beliefs of the poor and the functions of public welfare institutions that have been put forward in previous history texts. Her material is fascinating and certainly provides a clear picture of life in the orphanage and the letters reveal .."

Abstract
This paper comments upon Judith Jarvis Thomson's views on abortion in her article "A Defense of Abortion". The paper analyzes Thomson's arguments and beliefs about a woman's right to have an abortion, including her belief that abortion should be safe, legal, albeit rare. The paper concludes that Thomson's cautious and meticulous position is not unreasonable.
From the Paper
"To Thomson, this leads to a logical dilemma. If the pregnancy will kill the mother, why is it wrong to deny an abortion at the cost of the mother's life? She rejects the notion that killing the fetus (direct killing) is fundamentally different from allowing the mother to die. (190) Thomson reasons that if the woman managed to cause an abortion, she would not be charged with murder. She has a right to defend her life, even against the fetus in her womb. (189-91) From this, she reasons that if the woman unplugged the violinist, causing his death, she would not commit murder. If this is so, then to refuse to grant the rape victim the right to terminate a pregnancy is to refuse to grant her "that very status of person which is so firmly insisted on for the fetus.""

A Critique of Playwright Judith Thompson's "Lion in the Streets", 2008.
A critical review of Judith Thompson's play "Lion in the Streets".

Abstract
This paper is a biting critique of Judith Thompson's play "Lion in the Streets". It praises the play's musical language and its artistically choreographed staging. At the same time, the paper criticizes the play as a series of lightly connected vignettes and Thompson's characters as being extremely emotional, yet stereotypical and flat. The paper also questions Thompson's unusual use of a double ending. To conclude, the reviewer fails to find enough redeeming qualities in the play.
From the Paper
""Lion in the Streets" is an actor's play, a piece written to allow an actor to take his craft as raw and far down into the dirt as possible. For me, the greatest acting is seen in moments of restraint and subtlety, attributes you will find nowhere is this work. I can only imagine how Lion in the Streets would fill a theatre, leaving no room for the audience. I imagine the overall effect of the play, when performed, to be choking and to inevitably feel artistically masturbatory. Reading it left me with the distinct desire to pat Judith Thompson comfortingly on the head and tell her that "yes, we know you are dark, we know it all hurts, but we need something new". The playwright has a beautiful control of words and a complex understanding of rhythm. Her dialogue is like music, and her staging is choreographed with the intricacies of a dance. But my problem with her skill is the same problem I have with much contemporary Canadian theatre. I am tired of hearing how it hurts and am ready to explore why, and more importantly, is there redemption, or hope?"

Judith Plaskow's "Standing Again At Sinai", 1994.
This paper is a critical review of Judith Plaskow's "Standing Again At Sinai" that proposes a feminist Judaism reinterpreting religious texts and ending male superiority.

From the Paper
"In her book Standing Again at Sinai, Judith Plaskow attempts to shape and describe a feminist Judaism, and she does so by describing the existing situation and how it developed, the meaning of a feminist Judaism, and how such a change might be brought about, assuming that it is determined that this would be a valuable addition to Judaic thought and practice. Plaskow begins by noting the contradictions that exist between a feminist conception of Judaism and the actuality, and she then considers different aspects of Jewish life and how women fit into them as well as how she believes women should fit into them. Her discussion echoes that of a number of other religious and feminist theorists who have considered the nature of religious thought today, the way a patriarchal religious society has developed, and how to regain some of what has been lost over the ...

"Brave New Families" by Judith Stacey, 2001.

From the Paper
"In Brave New Families Judith Stacey describes the postmodern family not as a single model but as "diverse, fluid, and unresolved" versions of association in an era when there is no longer "a single culturally dominant family pattern to which the majority of Americans conform and most of the rest aspire" (Stacey, 1998, p. 17). Stacey carefully explains that the "modern" family--a single-earner, male-headed form of family--that was the goal of blue-collar and middle-class Americans was a brief interlude in history. It was realized in large part by middle-class families but remained more of a dream for many blue-collar workers for whom home ownership, stay-at-home mothers, and other aspects of this mode of living either signified important steps up in class or the promise of such advancement for their children. At the same time, however, there were many in the..."

"Introduction
Goldenberg and Goldenberg define a family as:
...a natural social system with properties all its own, one that has evolved a set of rules, roles, a power structure, forms of communication, and ways of negotiation and problem-solving that allow various tasks to be performed...(3)
Families can be functional or dysfunctional with dysfunctionality being associated with family members having several characteristics that make it difficult for them to solve problems and/or perform tasks efficiently. According to family therapist, Virginia Satir, these characteristics include: low self-worth; indirect, vague, or dishonest communication patterns; strict, rigid, unbending and everlasting rules; and fearful.."

Abstract
The issue of abortion is perhaps the most divisive social and political issue in America today. Taking up this debate are two opposing armies of dedicated true-believers. On one side are those opposing abortion under any circumstances because they view it as the murder of an unborn child, and on the other side are those upholding the idea of choice as an absolute allowing the woman to secure an abortion without hindrance at any point in her pregnancy. Standing between these two extremes are millions of Americans with a more moderate view, a view that includes a concern for the trauma of the woman and an understanding that abortion is a choice not to be made lightly. These millions of Americans area also willing to allow some restrictions on abortions without banning the option altogether.

"SON OF THE REVOLUTION
This research paper summarizes and comments upon the account of Liang Heng, which his American wife, Judith Shapiro helped write and translate, of what it was like to grow up in China in the period leading up to, during and right after the Great Proletarian Revolution. The book provides a devastatingly authentic portrait of what conditions were like for Heng and his family during that turbulent and confusing era. The overall message is one of hope because the efforts of the communist regime in the People's Republic of China did not succeed, if this report is at all representative, in homogenizing Chinese society to the point where basic human values died.
Early Childhood
Heng came from an ordinary family which lived in the city of ..."

The differences between City of Dreadful Delight and City of Eros are not confined to the fact that the former deals with London prostitution in the late Victorian era and City of Eros deals..."

Abstract
The author challenges the thesis presented by Judith Harris, in her book "The Nurture Assumption," that divorce does not have a long-term affect on children. The author first reviews Ms. Harris' book, and then, using research by other people in the field, such as Judith Wallerstein, refutes her theories on children and divorce. Some of the topics discussed include the parent-child relationship, family structure, economic affects of divorce and single-parent families.
From the Paper
"Harris holds the view that living in a nice neighborhood the children of single parents do as much better as other kids. Children of single parents are no more likely to drop out of school or get pregnant than the children of two-parent households, she writes, as long as they stay in the same middle-class neighborhoods. Wallerstein and her co-authors do not agree. The authors write: "Although many people no longer believe the myth that children always benefit from a divorce that makes parents happier, it continues to exert subtle, unconscious influences on how we think about divorce and our reactions to it. It has encouraged parents to expect that their children will approve their decision." According to the authors this attitude makes it easy for divorced parents to concentrate of their search for new lovers and jobs devoting less time to their children and not properly preparing them for the effects of divorce. The children pay the price."

Abstract
This paper criticizes flaws in chapter four of Judith Wallerstein's "The Good Marriage". It argues that the true rigors of society coupled with the complexity of a human relationship make the notion of a companionate marriage a foolish one. It concludes that if both husband and wife have each other's best interest at heart there's no need to "keep score".
