If this film was just a narrator telling the audience what occurred during these times, it would be just like many other history documentaries that are made. Showing what these wartime women went through with excitement, humor, and sadness all in one made it that much more great. Seeing these women overcome all that was put against them made you want to rally behind

Previous to Elizabethan times, plays generally consisted of some form of religion, whether it be bible stories, or worshipping the many Greek Gods. Therefore, this time allowed audiences to see and relate plays to their own lives, as they incorporated our true nature as humans and our responses to different circumstances, including love and death. These discoveries have had a major influence on theatre today as when people go to the theatre, they want to be drawn into the play and almost believe what they are seeing is real. There are many plays today that deal with real issues people face, therefore it is easier for the audience to be convinced that the play real. However, what may have been considered “real” in the Elizabethan period, and what is considered “real” now has very much changed, so theatre has been forced to change with the times and adapt their representation of human nature to suit the audience of the present.

Women today are grateful for the women of the past. The women of the past paved to way for the future of women. Today the American women have the same rights as men and they are no longer treated as the weaker sex.

RELIGIOUS DEBATES ABOUT WEARING OF VEILS The practice of wearing veil, especially in religious way, is often symbolised and homogenised; and it has become a common subject in media, classrooms and political debates where it is regularly analysed in the following ways: establishing reasons for veiling such as why women wear veil and whether they freely do so; and assessing whether the practice of wearing veil is good or bad within certain framework such as international law, secular liberation and feminism. In the past, such media explanations and debates centred on conceptualisation of veil wearing as anti-ethical to modernity and religiously based notion which was incepted to oppress Islamic women and create an idea that men are superior to women. However, historical and ethnographical researches has contended this older interpretations, as it has been repeatedly argued that practice of veiling is a complex issue which could have been initiated and upheld by colonisation, naturalisation, economic development and globalisation; and that it was not necessarily intended to oppress women or portray them as weaker sex. For instance, some research findings suggest that certain cultural expectations, conventions and norms are responsible for veiling culture in some countries and some women still upheld this veiling culture even when they reside in other countries where the veiling culture is not required. Furthermore, modern religious symbolism associated with veil wearing can be considered as a myth because evident indicates that wearing of veil is common in olden ages irrespective of the religion or belief of women and men.
