“The Saint-Simonians were the earliest and most popular of these utopian socialist feminists” (Moses, 1982: 241). In this essay I will discuss how the “woman question” emerged through the ideology of the Saint-Simonians and whether their aims and actions were to benefit women, as they claimed, or rather to satisfy the ego of their leader, Prosper Enfantin. I will also consider what measures the women involved in this movement took to ensure their own emancipation and to what extent this was due to their involvement in the Saint-Simonian movement. By the late 1820s interest in women’s issues had become part of the all-absorbing “social question” (Pilbeam, 2000: 76). Among the feminist movements which emerged during the early nineteenth century, two of the most noteworthy are Fourier and the Saint-Simonians, in fact, Fourier has been credited with having originated the word “féministe” (Goldstein, 1982: 92).
Despite it’s irony, the twentieth century was an iconic and progressive time for advertising. The 1900’s saw the ongoing clash of ideologies, two World Wars, and a devastating economic downturn, which ultimately led to the wrath of the Great Depression.

During the first half of the twentieth century, the advertising industry saw great advancements and changes as a whole. The industry itself became more respected, and consumer behaviour more closely watched.
Jane Eyre is very similar to the Victorian Era in life styles, gender roles, and education. Part of Charlotte’s own life was also incorporated into the novel. The Victorian Era was when Queen Victoria was ruler. “The Victorian Age was characterised by rapid change and developments in nearly every sphere - from advances in medical, scientific and technological knowledge to changes in population growth and location” ( Shepherd). “Politics were important to the Victorians; they believed in the perfection of their evolved representative government, and in exporting it throughout the British Empire.” (Shepherd).

Queen Elizabeth I was responsible for the Golden Age of England, achieved through perseverance, strong will, intelligence, and personal sacrifice for the good of the English people.

The Effect of World War II on American Culture The Second World War was a time of tremendous change throughout the globe. This was no different in the United States, where cultural effects shaped a generation and contributed significantly to a national identity that still has remnants in American culture today. Among the myriad of changes experienced by Americans during this time was a massive shift in the industrial complex, a dramatic reimagining of the role of women in society, and the development of new racisms and stereotypes within the national discourse. The United States’ initial preparation for defense of a potential Nazi attack and preparation for a future overseas engagement required a massive restructuring of the nation’s industrial aims. Peacetime industry began to give way to wartime endeavors.
