The strongest sense of reality that I gained after watching Iron Jawed Angels is the ability of women to make an impact on other women. It is this contagious feeling among women suffragists that hold them together through various difficulties. For example, Alice Paul’s public demonstration for women’s voting right eventually even gained the support from a foreign-accented lady who initially objected to this movement. This contagious feeling is also shown through public parade, hunger strike, and ultimate success in the passage of Nineteenth Amendment. When one of the suffragist fell down because of extreme fatigue, when public parade and demonstration is physically disturbed by males, when suffragists are being force-fed in the prison, none of the suffragists budged on their stands, instead, they are held together even stronger by this contagious feeling among them.
One in particular that has aggravated us the most, was our capabilities being greatly undermined. During a time when women were thought to be the inferior sex, Queen Elizabeth proved to all citizens that she could rise above stereotypical expectations. She vainly refused to marry and ruled, successfully, without a male-counterpart for almost forty-five years. Queen Elizabeth’s actions are inspirational, as their impact have altered the course of history. Like Queen Elizabeth, the people that had guided me, the friends in which I trusted, and even the educators, turned their heads away, they thought I was “weak and feeble” when they soon learned I had an anxiety disorder.
Divergent DIVERGENT “All these things I hate revolve around me” This song relates to when Tris is faced with a hard decision of deciding which faction to go into and cannot decide. “Radioactive” – Imagine Dragons This song is perfect for when they start training and when Tris becomes so determined to improve herself and her rank on the chart. The song’s lyrics even talks about “shaping up” and “Sweating off the rust” “I have loved you for a thousand years” – Christina Perri This song goes great with the scene where Tobais is in a simulation and Tris hands him the gun and he fights simulation to realize he loves Tris and doesn’t want to hurt her. “Gods not dead” – Newboys This is another song that fits well with the scene when Tris hands Tobais the gun and she’s hoping and begging that Tobais will come to realize that it’s her and she loves him. Also, in the song they talk about starting a revolution just as the couple are when they are changing the bad things that the people “in charge” are doing.
She born as General Gabler’s daughter so she feels for a better destiny and imbues with romantic vision of making one’s own life a work of art. She could be imagined as distinguished, beautiful, proud and even in her defiance of her surroundings and in the gesture of her suicide. Hedda is pitiful because she is a tormented creature caught in an era that society imprisons women in limited choices, as a victim, in spite of her desperate to control the fate of others. With Hedda’s manipulative character, her desire of a “beautiful” death and her fear of scandal are the core characteristics that compels her to manipulate Lovborg in killing himself and leads herself to commit suicide. When Hedda first appears in the play, she is a cool character who has control of her emotions and actions.
For instance, Myrtle, wishes to climb the social ladder, and is determined to do so at all costs. Daisy attempts to break away from the restrictive society in which she was raised, yet she cannot escape entirely and falls back into the only thing she knows: money. Jordan Baker, a professional golfer is also an emancipated women because her profession was made possible through the social and economic progress of the roaring twenties. The Jazz Age society so clearly shown in The Great Gatsby is, in effect, on a very dangerous course when it comes to people like Daisy, Tom, and Jordan who are at the top of the ladder, working hard to ensure no one else climbs as high as them. This attitude may make a person rich quick but it does not buy happiness and leads to corruption.

Kyle Meehan Movie project Mommie Dearest Joan Crawford: Joan Crawford’s character as described in Mommie Dearest by her daughter Christina obviously depicts a deeply disturbed psyche that influences her life in a multitude of negative ways. She appears to suffer from a high functioning form of OCD, always obsessing that things be immaculate, clean, and orderly and that she has control of every situation. When her obsessions are not satisfied she bursts into a fit of rage as seen in the “wire hanger” scene in which she beats her own daughter mercilessly for nearly nothing. Her extreme obsessions also stem from a tremendous narcissism, always insisting to be the best and going to great lengths to preserve her image in others eyes as well as her own. Her unhealthy self-love can be seen in her relationships in which she uses sex to control men and always appears to have a hand on them, especially turning to sex when the man gains any sort of will or power to insult or leave her.
These struggles were not only political but also personal. Housseine portrays a story of oppression and hope through the eyes of two women in the war scared country. 2.

The main character herself is a girl who is being trapped by tradition, the patriarchy and what is expected of her, yet everything about her character screams freedom and unruliness. At the start of the scene Merida’s mother, Eleanor, has been bounded by her Father and his men to be slain for revenge and I see that this moment has a undercurrent of hidden subtext towards women’s issues and the patriarchy. Eleanor in her human form is a woman of containment. Her hair always neatly held back with many strands of lace and her soft form always tightly contained, causing each movement she makes to be deliberate and calm but also feel stifled, hinting at that maybe once she was a young woman a lot like Merida. We know that the life of the queen was not one that Eleanor chose on her own, earlier in the film she explains her trepidation when she was meant to be betrothed and this all hints to Eleanor being ‘bound’ by what society (her new kingdom) expected from her, and again she is bound whilst being the most physically strong she has ever been by the men in her society too blind from their hate to realise she is the
