The book is defined on the cover as an intellectual biography observing interviews with Bertha Wilson, her husband John Wilson, and many relatives, friends and contemporaries of her. The book displays many fascinating phases of Wilson’s life, beginning with her childhood in Scotland where she studied philosophy at University of Aberdeen; her courtship and nuptial with John Wilson; moving to Canada; her legal career at Osler law firm; her promotion as the first woman on the Ontario Court of Appeal in 1976; her work on Gender Equality; and her employment to the Supreme Court. It is undeniable that Justice Wilson made a change. It is very likely that Wilson’s gender and her practices with discrimination moulded her personality and her attitude to judging. For the most part, this is a book that dichotomizes Wilson’s legal choices and published literature about law.
In your response, make detailed reference to Aung San Suu Kyi’s speech and at least ONE other speech set for study. The concluding statements of the speeches set for study influence my judgments of the speeches studied as it leaves the final impression on the reader. The speech “Keynote address at the Beijing World Conference on Women” given by Aung San Suu Kyi in 1995 focuses on the role of women in society, government and politics to “struggle for justice and peace”.

Aung San Suu Kyi’s speech provides an insight about the role of women in the government and within the country’s political fields.

However cultural and political proceedings at this time enhanced awareness to women's issues such as education, politics and religion. There was a strong influence on women’s history in early modern Ireland in comparison to gender history. Dire changes were in need in the classing of women at this time. Unknown to the men in their surroundings women played a vital role in politics through their contribution in the community and in the family. For example Grace O’ Malley played a significant role in the influence of the political system by stating her views to the public.
After the Second World War, there definitely was a long lasting effect on the role of women in Canadian society. You all know that women are being treated a lot better than they were back in the First and Second World War compared to the women society today, well in this paper I will be proving this, but mainly focusing on the Second World War. During the First World War, it brought many good changes to the lives of Canadian women. We began to see women becoming more recognized and important not just in Canada, but around the world. They began to take up jobs that would be considered unsuitable for women before 1914, such as working in munitions factories and other war industries.
Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice written in the early 19th century is a classic novel that can be well dissected and understand by considering the values and attitudes in which people performed in that context. Fay Weldon’s Letters to Alice on First Reading Jane Austen, written in the late 20th century has enhanced this understanding through the intensive facts in which she has provided in her text about Jane Austen’s context. Both being a successful female writer, audiences are able to see the similarities in which both authors has made about the world of women. This similarity is established through the numerous values in which both texts have used to allow audiences to compare the lives of women in the two completely different contexts. These values include: marriage, self-actualisation.
Jill Tweedy 1932- 1993 was also an influential feminist writer. Wollstonecraft’s polemic, ‘A Vindication of the Rights of Women’ and Tweedy’s ‘In the Name of Love’. Both these extracts show how these female writers can write from both genders; female and male. They can bring across different views and thoughts throughout their extracts. A Vindication of the Rights of Women’ is an early example of a feminist outlook; Wollstonecraft aims to define, establish and defend equal political, economic, and social rights and equal opportunities for women.
