Abstract
This paper discusses Nellie McClung, the women's suffrage leader of the early 1900s whose efforts in the area of women's rights altered the course of history for all Canadian women. The paper explores her work in women's suffrage, as well as the events that created change, and her role as a strong voice within the social order.
From the Paper
"In the early 1900s women had gained two roles in society - caring for their families and working alongside men in the labor market. However, in the latter position women were still viewed as lesser human beings than men, forced to accept lower wages, and to work in conditions that were unsafe, as well as unhealthy. While the general societal feeling of the time was that a woman's first concern should be to tend to her family's needs, the immense rise in poverty also forced the world to accept women in the labor market in order for families to survive. With women being caught in this dual position it was evident for some that work to secure women's rights had to be accomplished in order to ensure that one day women might be capable of receiving the respect that they deserved in all of their roles within the social order."

From the Paper
"Nellie was born in Chatsworth, Ontario, Canada on October 20, 1873 to John Mooney and Letitia McCurdy Mooney (Dugas 2000). She was named Helen Letitia and her siblings were Will, George, Elizabeth, Hannah and Jack. Nellie was the family favorite. In 1880, the family emigrated to the Canadian West to homestead south of Brandon, Manitoba where Nellie attended school from ages 10 to 16. At 16 in 1889, she finished Normal School or teacher training (Dugas). At birth, Nellie, her mother or any of her sisters was not recognized as "persons" by Canadian law (Bridgeman 1999). They and other women of the time did not share certain rights with men. Women were economically dependent on their father or husband. A woman's inherited property passed on to her husband and when he died, she was left penniless and raised her children in poverty. Women were not allowed in certain careers, such as politics, law and medicine. Most importantly, they were not allowed to vote and to determine the future of society."

Abstract
This paper examines how Nellie McClung's book "In Times Like These" chronicles the struggles of common, Canadian women on the frontier in a series of speeches and essays by the author that were intended for the public at large or the audience of suffrage and temperance organizations. It looks at how it celebrates the rural and western ideal of life on the homestead for both women and men and how it extols the moral superiority of Canadian country life over Canadian city life even while it strives to consciously uplift the Canadian urban locale through improved social policy.
From the Paper
"Nellie McClung's In Times Like These is a testimony to the popularity of its author. It is a collection of long-standing, collected speeches and essays drawn from McClung's extensive career as a speaker for a Manitoba suffrage and temperance organization and shows that McClung was a popular enough speaker and public figure to have confidence that there was a demand to see her speeches in print that she had already given to a wide public audience. The book is a public and retrospective text, designed to speak to an audience and persuasively appeal to a middle-class audience-hence, perhaps one of the reasons McClung stresses good, solid values and the importance of traditional Canadian family liver versus the reality of immigrant, urban conditions."

Abstract
The following paper examines the life and history of Leone Nelly Sachs, a poet, author and playwright in the 1900's and winner of the Nobel Peace for literature with the Israeli novelist and short story writer S.Y. Agnon. The writer discusses Sachs' experiences in the second world war, where she was sent to concentration camps and lost all her family. This paper discusses her poems, plays and dramatic fragments published in post-war years as a "mute outcry" against the Holocaust.
From the Paper
"Nelly Sachs was almost fifty years old when she reached Sweden. She shared a two-bedroom apartment with her mother on the third floor of a building. Nelly Sachs was now in a country where she did not know the language, tied to the home by the need to look after her old, weak mother. This meant that letter-writing was often her only contact with the outside world; at first with Swedish intellectuals who broke the usual reserved attitude and made personal efforts in connection with the refugees. Sachs was able to make a modest living supporting herself and her mother while in exile in Sweden by translating the works of Swedish poets Gunnar Ekel?f, Erik Lindegren and Johannes Edfelt into German. She eventually published several successful volumes of her translations. She also became a Swedish citizen."

Abstract
Writing against the Marxist and feminist readings of Terry Eagleton and Lyn Pykett, respectively, the author investigates the novel's narrator, Nelly Dean, to show how she is a more complicated character than meets the eye.
From the Paper
"In his Marxist analysis of Wuthering Heights, Terry Eagleton considers the role of Heathcliff as an analogy for industrial capitalism's pernicious rise in England. His analysis ignores, however, one of the key working class characters in the novel, Nelly Dean. He focuses primarily on Heathcliff, a character who is ruined by the social effects of capital, while ignoring Nelly, who is a key ideological subject of capitalism. Eagleton, for instance only mentions her "self confessedly biased testimony" (402) but ignores another important trait, that she is a servant and this helps make her a more transparent observer of the action which she retells Lockwood in the course of the novel. There is a negative consequence of this transparency, in that we sometimes lose track of Nelly the person in her recollection of events. The dehumanizing effect of capitalism renders Nelly as invisible to the reader as the families whom she observes. In Lyn Pykett's feminist reading as well, Nelly is only mentioned as an observer and not a character. She discusses how the two Catherines are formed as women, but does not stop to consider how Nelly is also formed as a woman. Nelly is written into the text as a woman every bit as much as the Catherines are. There is especially something to be said about how Lockwood, the other major narrator in the text, constructs Nelly as a woman figure in the novel. While the analyses that Pykett and Eagleton may do well with exploring the characters of the Catherines and Heathcliff, their assumptions and approaches can be useful in understanding the most prominent and least apparent character in the narrative of "Wuthering Heights", Nelly Dean."

Abstract
This paper discusses not only the 'story within a story' issue and the narrative ideas of the novel, but also the importance of both Nellie and Lockwood as far as storytelling is concerned. There is also be a discussion of Lockwood and why he is of great importance in the story as well as Lockwood's final observations to a specific passage of the novel.
From the Paper
"In Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, there is a story being told within a story. There is also a very distinct narrative structure in that several people contribute their points of view and act as narrators. This helps the reader to experience much more of the story than they would have been able to if just one person told the story from beginning to end. The different viewpoints give the reader more to think about, and they help to explain some of the events that occur during the course of the story."

Abstract
This paper contends that the ending of the novel "Wuthering Heights" poses many a problem for the reader and that an unequivocal interpretation of it, and of the whole text for that matter, is not possible. The paper discusses how the ending has to be put in relation to what lies behind the events it narrates and not to what is apparent. It also argues that a decision has to be taken as to how we are to regard the fact that both narrators, Lockwood and Nelly, whom the author has given us plenty of reasons to mistrust, are perfectly in accord with the way that the novel concludes.
From the Paper
"The nature and direction of our interpretation depends much on what we take Emily Bronte's attitude to be towards the second generation. Wuthering Heights could very well end with the words "Together they would brave Satan and all his legions." However, the author chooses to add almost a page of impressions which apparently have nothing to do with the young couple. After all, the final close-up left to the reader is not the image of the two young lovers under the moonlight but the unsettling gloomy vision of an isolated graveyard. The choice of such setting is entirely of the writer's making. Emily Bronte, intentionally or not, creates an ambiguity on all levels of the narrative. In this connection, when trying to determine to what extent the machinery of the Gothic and the delicately calculated presence of the Fantastic are at work in the ending of Wuthering Heights, we realise that it cannot be affirmed with surety that one single type of imagery pervades the final pages.

Abstract
The paper reviews the exhibition "Wit and Wine: A New Look at Ancient Iranian Ceramics" which ran at the McClung Museum and focused on the art of pottery in ancient Iran and had some 45 pieces on display. The author notes that Iranian pottery art is rarely ever mentioned in archeology journals and reports because this 5,000 year long tradition has been greatly overshadowed by more popular art civilizations.
From the Paper
"The third most beautiful and rather humorous piece of pottery that I found truly fascinating was the Vessel with two feet. This piece was unearthed from ancient land in Northern Iran and is believed to have been designed and created sometime during the early first millennium. This was one of those pieces, which appeared to contain no animal influence. In fact it seems that this vessel was created to highlight the pomp ad arrogance of a member f the elite rulers. This is because when the vessel is studied from some distance, one can make out the entire form clearly. The hands are definitely the hands of such a person, while the swelled middle part represents the pompous man's body and feet also appear to be clad in expensive shoes. There are no holes or spouts on the surface and the only opening to pour out liquids is the neck of the vessel. "
