According to Marszalek, the Petticoat Affair was “the most famous debate over the meaning of womanhood in American history” (p. 21). Throughout this book, John F. Marszalek tries to prove that the Petticoat Affair was a social struggle based on the traditional roles of women and the beliefs of society, and not as much of a political crisis. Margaret “Peggy” Eaton was the child of an Innkeeper. She was raised as being part of conversation and socializing with her father’s guests, and had an outspoken personality.
While she is slow and analytical in composition, I am rapid and synthetic. I am the better writer, she is the better critic.

The movie explores the early life of Anthony and Stanton, relationship with their strong minded fathers, their religious and economic background.

“Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” Evoked Female Identity During the 1960s in America, where phallocentrism is still ruling society, many social problems caused younger people to be unsatisfied with reality and to become rebellious. In Oates’s story, the character of Connie is affected by patriarchal oppression.

Connie's mother and sister portray typical females under patriarchal oppression. In the case of Connie’s mother, she rejected Connie’s attitudes because it often went against the patriarchal society's code of conduct.
Analysis Paper Joshua Rios Ellen Goodman's “plumber problem”--as she writes about in A Husband and His Name, published by the Boston Globe on Tuesday, September 4, 2001--has become something that is increasingly more debated now than it ever has been before. Her problem is the question of whether or not a woman should change their last name to be the same as their husband's when they get married. Ellen believes that when a woman gets married she should not take her husband's name; she should keep her own birth name. There are many reasons why Ellen feels this way, but in fact, the long tradition of name changing was put in place for a reason, and should be kept the way it is. As Ellen begins to go deeper into this debate she explains why so many women change their name.

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. All her relationships were qualified by caution, solicitude, and kindliness. Three years afterwards she wedded her 5th cousin, Franklin Roosevelt, an appropriate fit for a woman of her assort. But Franklin's overly-protective mother shortly set out to broaden her dominance over her recent daughter-in-law. "I was beginning to be an entirely dependent person," Eleanor stated, "someone always to decide everything for me."

During the turn of the century they were still defined as mothers and wives and struggled to earn the right to vote. Even in the Roaring Twenties, once women had gained to right to vote and had more freedom over the way they dressed and behaved, the still could not have fulfilling careers. The fifties marked a time when the American family closely resembled the values of the Cult of Domesticity with the ideal aproned housewife and working husband.
