In the attempt for the new world to get liberty, society continually pushed the bounds of morals which created new views on life. Eliza as a very independent woman of her time she wanted more than the social structure of what marriage offered women during this time. She saw that marriage was the consumption of a woman’s freedom, which for this time all women were restricted by society by all male figures either married or not married.

These options were available because the Feng family needed another woman to produce a boy, this is a disgraceful offer, but then again no respectful woman doesn’t have her feet bound. She was given the choice of a nun because a nun because in faith it doesn’t matter how big your feet are,
Perhaps the women felt envy for the other women, knowing that they were married and had a man in their lives, while the accusers were alone and had no one? This seems to be something that historians should definitely look into, since jealousy can very well be more credible than other things they look
Typically, a husband who can’t consummate a marriage should be abandoned without hesitation. When Bertrande is “urged by her relatives to separate from Martin, she firmly refuse[s]” (28). This decision reveals Bertrande’s “certain character traits…a concern for her reputation as a woman, a stubborn independence” (28). Bertrande cleverly calculates the advantages she possesses as a result of Martin’s incompetence. “Her refusal to have her marriage dissolved…freed her temporarily from certain wifely duties…gave her a chance to have a girlhood” (28).
Ellen's arguments make good points for why a woman should keep her maiden name, and how there's no reason for the woman to change the name, but as a young girl grows up around parents who shared the father's name, and in a society where it is normal to take the mans name, it seems only inevitable that the tradition will continue. Most women would say that Ellen is making an argument out of nothing, since the majority of women honestly will not care what name they feel more bonding with their loved one by sharing a last
And they have been criticised for over-focusing on her personal life at the expense of the substance of her policies. [5] We all know that she is unmarried, but have a partner; she is not religious and doesn’t want to have kids. I also think that the media for sometime too it too far when they focused on her background, such as the history of her partner instead of her policies. Anyway, in her biography titled “The Making of Julia Gillard”, Jacquelline Kent portrays her as a hard worker with plenty of intellectual energy and a willingness to tackle big challenges. Jacquelline portrays Julia as a decent human being who is brave in the face of the ups and downs of political life.
That this woman could offer so much reform and understanding for individuals without having a degree in this field is remarkable beyond words. She was an individual who did not want expressions of praise or gratitude for her work. She refused to have hospitals named after her; she desired that her achievements “rest in silence”. This remarkable woman has touched the lives of so many and it is because of her that we can not only thank for the humanity that she brought to the mentally ill but also gives us the knowledge that living conditions can determine the state of one’s
Jeff wants to give something to the women since they have nothing else to give them. Terry on the other hand wants to give the women their names to show they have possession over them. And Alima along with the other women of Herland is oblivious to either of these philosophies. The women are unaware of the men’s ideals on marriage and the possession of women as wives. They question everything that the men
For example, Antigone seems to be impervious toward Creon’s misogynistic ways; however, her sister, Ismene, is seen to be internalizing the idea that women are insignificant compared to men. We see the impact that this sexist culture has on Ismene when she tells Antigone, “We must remember that by birth we’re women, and, as such, we shouldn’t fight with men. Since those who rule are much more powerful, we must obey in this and in events which bring us even harsher agonies… Since I’m being compelled, I will obey those in control. That’s what I’m forced to do. It makes no sense to try to do too much” (77-85).
