The artworks collected included those of Eizan, Hokusai, Hiroshige, Sharoku, and Suzuki Harunobi among others. These artworks flowed into Europe, especially France, after the trade relations between Europe and Japan were initiated by Mathew Perry’s trips to Japan, ending in the formation of trade agreements. The artists that triggered the fusion were Henry Touluse-Lautrec and Edgar Degas, who sought to comprehend the attraction of ukiyo-e, which they saw as grounded in the Japanese art of the early 17th century.

September 19, 2006 Hst 328 Thur. 1:40 Nan Enstad’s Ladies of Labor, Girls of Adventure is an in depth analysis of working women in the late 19th century and the early 20th century.

The author stresses throughout the writing different films that had arose primarily because of the developments of the “New Woman” or in other words, the flapper. Some of the other main ideas would pertain to the image of women changing as well as the effects on class and consumerism. Ultimately, the purpose of this scholarly journal is to explain and argue that women film stars during the time of the 1920s were largely effected by the ever changing roles that women were taking in their lives.

After reading this composition, the intended audience seems to be those who are interested in film and understanding how it has developed over time, as well as those who are interested in gender studies and wish to gain a deeper understanding of how women and their roles evolved.

Kelius Hardy HIST 2381 “Jook Women” Article Review The primary focus in Pearson’s article was centered on the meaning of the word jook, its origin, and the role of women. Pearson’s main argument was centered on the roles that women played in relation to the jooks. The interviews conducted to determine the meaning of the word resulted in a better understanding of its origin in the African American culture.
