With only a month to prepare and the Court having struck down a similar law in New York to regulate hours, the court hearing began. Luckily, Brandeis had noticed the missing element from the Lochner v. New York case and had quickly compiled detailed evidence of how longer working hours effected women’s safety and health. Together, the data made up the “Brandeis brief” that soon became famous worldwide. It stated things such as “accidents to working women occur most frequently at the close of the day, or after a long period of uninterrupted work,” and “the evil effect of overwork before as well as after marriage upon childbirth is marked and disastrous.” These harsh conditions, he said, also drove women to drink and go to saloons, instead of being fit mothers and keeping up with the housework. Muller’s attorney, however, argued that Oregon’s law violated women’s rights.

But athletes who train for six or more hours per week often have iron-deficiency anemia and should be checked yearly for the condition. Female athletes who are unable to correct such mild anemia through diet can benefit from supplements. [4] 8. Athletes use iron stores more quickly than nonathletes and, considering the neurologic effects of anemia on children and teens who engage in rigorous sports, adequate intake of iron is quite important.

Powerfully Pink: The Story of Susan G. Komen Rory Douthard BA507 July 12, 2014 John Troutman In the United States, breast cancer is the second leading cause of death amongst women. There are over 200,000 new cases reported each year, and so many more that go unreported. Unfortunately, approximately 40,000 women die of this disease, mainly because it was detected too late to change the prognosis. Even with early detection and treatment, which can lead to a positive outcome, breast cancer is more often detected once it has spread to other vital organs, which makes it harder to fight. This trend generally happens with the younger demographic, particularly in younger patients who are premenopausal and don’t have a good understanding of the disease.
after three years with Mlle Souvestre . Near this time early Franklin Delano Roosevelt, fine-looking and cheerful, an upperclassman at Harvard University, the apple of his mother's eye, moved into Eleanor's life earnestly. He appeared to Eleanor a marvelous wooer. Anyhow, Franklin's ascertained courtship and Eleanor’s crave for a domicile and family and hope to go through everything that numerous women experienced, expelled every uncertainty. She had been adverted to consider the spousal relationship as a responsibility and burgeon and may well have implied that at that time the factor of sensuality was missing on her side.
Ingrith Serrato 10/04/2011 English 101 Section 3225 Literacy Narrative Essay Word Count: 936 To Be Able To Communicate Back on the 70’s my mother dreamed of going to school and become something better for herself while she saw her father struggling with 7 kids and not wife by his side; she dreamed about getting out of that jungle and moving into the big city, but being one of the oldest, would bring her back to reality to keep taking care of the little ones (“even the one that just make mama to go to heaven” she used to tough). My mother was 7 when my grandmother died delivering her last son; the hospital was almost 4 hours away and the transportation was only available from Thursday to Sunday, so having contractions on a Tuesday wasn’t a good thing. My mother has eye vision impairment since she was little, but her professors never believe
Growing up in Trinidad and Tobago, I didn’t know that we were poor. My mother had five sisters and five brothers and most of them had children, so I was around family all of the time, having ten people living in a three bedroom home, and with all the dogs and cats my grandmother used to own never really seemed abnormal. I overheard my mother carol and father Robert talking about how people from the islands migrate to America in order to seek better opportunities. Night after night I would hear them fighting weather to go or not, but ultimately after a few months of thinking they eventually came to a unanimous decision… so that’s what they did. At first my father was against this, he kept saying ‘’I have a good paying job here, I don’t want to come over’’ but my mother’s
