Feminism has been a cornerstone of literature for over a hundred years. Women in the world and in literature prior to late 19th century were portrayed as secondary citizens at best. In the late 19th century, a new movement was formed that took the ideals of the woman’s role in society and marriage and transformed them. Authors from the first and second wave of feminism have now created true portraits of women and their views on marriage. Generally speaking, the first and second waves of feminism are most recognized for their contributions to social and cultural equality.

In The Power of the Positive Woman, Schlafly explains that there is indeed a difference, besides the obvious physicality, between men and woman that cause them to play different roles in society. She in no ways demoralizes the role of either men or women, but instead explains how each gender has an equally important role to play in society. She explains the ideals of liberationists by saying, “The second dogma of the women’s liberationists is that, of all the injustices perpetrated upon women through the centuries, the most oppressive is the cruel fact that women have babies and men do not” (Schlafly 296). This puts the blame of female anatomy on the males instead of on the Divine Creator of human lives. Although this seems to be a ridiculous reason to hate the male population, it is Schlafly’s way of making their movement seem ridiculous.
Analyzing Early Models of Women’s Writings The early “Biographies of Exemplary Women” handbook is truly a significant piece of work; encompassing virtues and appropriate behaviour for women, and still continues to resonate today. It’s initial presence of being an instruction manual for women, has transpired later female writers to draw upon and also alternate their own styles of writing. Through the works read in class, one seeks to explore how women writers either draw upon or depart from earlier cultural models, and how these models inspire, limit, and shape women writers. The Early model biographies served not only as an instruction manual for women but it also confined women to their basic trajectory roles within the household. Elements of Confucian principles such as women having a lower status within the Patriarchal family structure, and women being self-sacrificial; are reminiscent throughout these early works and in Ban Zhao’s Lessons for Women.
She uses the room as a symbol for many larger issues, such as privacy, leisure time, and financial independence, each of which is an essential component of the countless inequalities between men and women. Woolf predicts that until these inequalities are rectified, women will remain second-class citizens and their literary achievements will also be branded as such. In A Room of One's Own, a canonical text in feminism, Woolf asserts that intelligent women have been denied the expression of their talents, forced to spend their lives at menial domestic tasks. She used fictional narrators whom she called Mary Beton, Mary Seton, Mary Carmichael and Judith Shakespear as she relate how her thoughts on the lecture mingled with her daily
Vibrator Use Among Women American Public University Vibrator Use Among Women Abstract This paper compares and contrasts two published works: One, a scholarly published work and the other an article written for a popular media outlet. These two articles vary greatly not only in presentation and delivery, but more importantly in accuracy. The scholarly article was written clearly by educated individuals qualified to write such an article with research to back up their findings. The article written for The New York Times, while more visually appealing and a more interesting title, appeared to contain less reliable information. The scholarly article is a compilation of research surrounding characteristics of women and the use of vibrators.

The Invisible Cage Pride and Prejudice In the nineteenth century society, the options of choosing husbands for unmarried women are limited due to the reason that the society has prescribed a set of values for them. The English society associated the entrance of a woman into the public with a reprehensible loss of femininity. Jane Austen, the author of the novel Pride and Prejudice herself suffers in this era by not allowed to be acknowledged as the author for her books. In Jane Austen's book Pride and Prejudice, she depicts how young men and women behave in the society and how they set up their life and social position for their own desires.

According to William Barclay “another mark of Luke’s characteristic universalism is the place he gives to women in his Gospel” In the generally male-dominated world of the first century women of Palestine had a low status and were numbered among the lowly, a fact that reflected in all of the Gospels. They were regarded as property of their husbands and their place was in the home doing domestic work and bringing up the children. At this time Roman law stated that all women ‘because of their weaknesses of intellect should be under guardians’. Barclay says that ‘the women had no place at all. She had no legal rights…she was not educated’.
