From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of World War II on the U.S. economy, with special emphasis on women in the workplace. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context of change for the American economy that came about as a result of American participation in the Allied war effort, and then to discuss how, when, and the degree to which working women played a role in comprising the wartime economic structure.
... oral history of the reminiscences of life and times of Rosie the Riveter focuses chiefly on the impact that the industrial work experience had on women who were recruited for factory jobs for the duration. However, certain insights into the personal experiences of such women lead to logical inferences about how the war effort made a significant impact, not only on the pool of labor available to economy capital, but also on other ...

Abstract
This paper shows how World War II profoundly affected the attitudes of women and African Americans towards American society at large. Racism and sexism was common and frequently considered "normal" prior to war, but the military experiences of African Americans and work on the home-front by women altered their beliefs about the social system they lived in, leading them to challenge and not accept racism and sexism.
From the Paper
"One major effect World War II had on American society was that it showed the oppressed women and African-Americans at that time that they should no longer suffer silently through the sexism and racism that was pressed against them. As many women and blacks served in various parts of the military, they realized that no matter how hard they tried, or how good they were at what they did, they were never given the recognition they deserved. There was no such thing as equal opportunity. If you were a white male, you were given the higher rank, better employment location, and anything else that would attempt to show you as the superior. After the war was over and they ultimately realized their full potential, they more fervently joined the fight to merely be treated as equals in the society in which they lived. World War II changed the lives and attitudes of many Americans as it gave a big push on the door that opened to a world in which racism and sexism no longer existed. As Dellie Hahne realized and many others could relate to, ?The war directly influenced the rest of my life? (120)."

From the Paper
" It is often said that war is hell. No one knows that better than those who fight and suffer as a result of war. Women in the Soviet Union during WWII not only fought in some instances but also made significant contributions in keeping their homes, families and country together during the war years. Women's contributions ranged from harvesting crops to flying fighter aircraft and shooting down enemy planes. Nothing was too difficult or too demanding during the war years.
Understanding the status of women in the labor force just before war broke out is important. Following the Revolution, women in the 1920s stood to gain as a result of rapid industrial growth and the growing urbanization of the population. Soon the ... "

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."

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."

Mary Wollstonecraft's "A Vindication of the Rights of Women" and "Maria, or the Wrongs of Woman", 2000.
An examination of the author's feminism and the application of her ideas from non-fictional "Vindication" to fictional Maria and her family in late 18th century England.

From the Paper
"This study will apply the ideas from Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman to its fictional companion Maria, or The Wrongs of Woman, showing how the ideas in Vindication are embedded in Maria. Essentially, Vindication argues that the inferior position of women in British society in the late 18th century is due not to any innate defect or weakness in women, but rather to the fact that men have the power to define and shape relationships, to make the laws, to own the property, and to decide the destiny of the genders socially, economically, and politically. The author does not absolve women of their responsibility for this situation. She first acknowledges the natural physical strength which men have over women, then adds:
But not content with this natural pre-eminence, men..."

Abstract
This paper focuses on women who worked during WWII in Great Britain. It covers the different aspects of women in the work force and the history of their involvement with the war.
From the Paper
"Throughout history, women have been involved in the complications of War, and have survived the many hardships and adversities associated with a country at war. During WWII, women in Great Britain were compelled to serve their country by engaging in ?War Work? activities, and replacing men who were at war in factories and other skilled labor jobs. World War II presented the opportunity for women in Great Britain to mobilize in society by earning higher ?male? wages in factories, and acquiring the necessary skills to play an important role in the battle their country faced. Many women faced the dilemma of choosing between their domestic duties, and their desire to actively participate in the war effort."

Abstract
This paper examines the extent of the affect of the OWI's campaign to get women to enlist and help in the war effort during WWII. It argues that the OWI's determination to protect the traditional image of women was genuinely a reflection of the deep-rooted attitudes of American society regarding womanhood. While magazine propaganda strove to attract women to war work, advertisers expressly exercised discretion not to challenge strongly other societal assumptions about the place of women in the work force; they endeavored to adapt female images to the needs of the war-waging nation.
From the Paper
"Advertisers used several tactics to attract women to war work, but the fact that so many recruitment advertisements embraced the "American Homemaker" image of the woman to some extent reveals the true import of the traditional female image in American middle-class society and thus best explains why advertisers could not afford to change the feminine image of women during World War II. As home-makers, women were naturally and intimately associated with the family and the home, two cherished American institutions (Honey,"Remembering" 136). In raising the notions of protection and stability, the ads made the family and the home symbolic of the comfortable way of life which people hoped to resume after the war. As guardians of an idealized way of life threatened by the war, women simply could not abandon their niche as society's nurturers. Because conventional associations of women and the home provided a means by which Americans could achieve happiness and security during World War II, the traditional image of the woman prevailed in wartime advertising (May90). In effect, the advertisements commissioned by the OWI during World War II certainly were never intended to effect changes in already-established notions about the woman's place as a delicate, nurturing figure in American society."

Abstract
The field of women's rights is now becoming more and more important in the world today. Japan, as the first country in Asia to become a super power, has been through a lot since the end of WWII and the issue of women's rights in Japan is no exception. This paper is an analysis on Japanese women's issues after WWII from different perspectives including cultural, social and historical perspectives.
From the Paper
"These main characteristics of the changing role of women in Japan in its population stability, educational improvement and employment issues show an effective result of governmental acts and non-governmental organization's efforts. By providing equal laws and rights, establishing equal development strategies, founding of the National Machinery for the Promotion of Gender Equality, as well as promoting democratic orientation, the Japanese government and NGOs have elevated the role of women in Japanese society."

Abstract
This paper details the monumental strides achieved by women in the armed forces both in the U.S. and in other countries such as, France, Britain and Canada. While women served in the military during WWII, they were rendered the sort of duties that relieved men to do the actual fighting. This paper examines the statistics supplied by the Pentagon that prove that it wasn't until the Gulf War, that women were actually part of front-line fighting units. The writer of this paper ponders the argument whether women should continue to be allowed to serve in the same positions as men as well as the issue of sexual harassment in the military. This paper delves into the matter of whether or not men and women react differently to confrontations. The writer of this paper also discusses the issue of pregnancy and women on the front-line in combat and attempts to answer the question: Should new mothers be allowed to accept duties that entail a certain amount of danger?
From the Paper
"But it was not until the Gulf War, according to reliable statistics kept by the Pentagon, that women actually were part of front-line fighting units. The argument continues, however, whether this should become a regular Standing order. Women in the service joined, so they say, not just to sit at a desk, but to be alongside fighting men in case of military action. This, the women say, is only fair if they want to be recognized as men's equals. There is a web page on the Internet which closely examines the viewpoints of men and women, many either veterans or currently on active duty. Here one can find the opinions that are far more interesting and logical (on both sides) than anything that can be read in the media."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze women of America during the Great Depression and World War II. Specifically, it discusses the extent to which women who differed by class, race, and ethnicity shared common experiences and responded to common issues.
From the Paper
"The women of America altered greatly during the Great Depression and World War II. Beginning with the Great Depression, the roles of women changed, and women began to work outside the home in greater numbers simply to keep the family intact. Many employed women lost their jobs, or moved down the employment ladder from a higher paying job such as a secretary to a lower paying job such as a waitress or domestic, because so many jobs disappeared during the Great Depression."
