It is rather surprising that a novel written by the daughter of so prominent a feminist should be so strikingly devoid of strong female characters. Many critics agree that Mary Shelley’s Gothic novel Frankenstein is littered with passive women that suffer placidly, then expire once exposed to the transgressions of the world . An initial reading of the novel might produce the notion that Shelley had very little to say on the subject of women. The entire cast of female characters appears to remain within the domestic realm, quietly performing their duties as mothers, sisters, wives and daughters for the men. Some might even say Shelley ardently agreed with the position in which they found themselves and the securely fixed roles during the Victorian era.

I have to agree with them, although I do enjoy watching the shows how many times have I said “You would never see a doctor doing that - that’s what nurses do.” In general nurses are displayed by popular media as “just care-takers” or “helpers”. Furthermore pop-culture even demoralizes nurses with sexual references and remarks. Including the “naughty nurse” depiction by Mariah Carey and the remark by Dame Helen Mirren on the “Late Show With David Letterman” that, “A lot of girls who work in [prostitution] actually come from the nursing industry, which kind of makes sense, because they’re used to naked bodies.” These kinds of things can make a professional nurse cringe. While some of these shows can be entertaining, they do nothing to promote the professional image of nursing. Most people do not realize or talk about the real things nurses do related to medical
In fact, she hated it. She especially despised the nickname Nora. Her father used to call her Bill because she was such a tomboy growing up. She didn’t mind it, although she wanted a prettier name than Bill. She loved the actress Billie Dove, so she decided to go with the name “Billie” and that’s the beginning of her name, Billie Holiday.
Commercials often portrayed a woman as helpless if her car broke down. Feminists went to the streets, marching, protesting, writing books and debating to change social and political views that limited women. One young lady named Betty Freidan made a list of questions while in college for women to answer and after seeing the results, she discovered that at least 200 women were unhappy with their lives. Betty Freidan tried to write an article based on her findings but was turned down, so she took it to a deeper level and took it into herself to try to change these lives to be better and change the way women were looked at. Yes, but you need a bit more specific overview.

He also tends to go unnoticed, as it said at the beginning. “We’re common and boring, and you walk right on by us...” But it wasn’t all negative because people he met along the way did pity him, which helped him get from point a to point b. In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Jane is put on a “rest cure” treatment by her husband after she gets depressed after giving birth.
