Analysis Of The Luncheon

706 Words2 Pages

I did enjoy the essay, but the fact it was so long was one of the things that killed my enjoyment of the essay. I can 't complain though because the more I read, the more interested I became with her thoughts as she evaluated society and the roles men and women had throughout her time period I like how she came to the conclusion that she was able to accept the way men and women think wasn 't their fault but society 's upbringing. so by the end of chapter one she realizes that maybe the effect of society and tradition long before her time had a important impact on the way writers once thought and how her life might of been different if women had more freedom back when they could not have any legal property rights. which then imposes on her that women do not have any accomplishments to compare to that would inspire the next generation to come. she arrives at this conclusion by thinking about the luncheon she was at earlier and comparing it to the one at the all women 's college. how similar and different the two were and why they had these similarities and differences.
I would like to answer her question by saying that all I can do is guess that there was little to no books written by women …show more content…

they would have nothing to compare their strengths nothing to show that their strength is a strength. so without women to be here to make a man feel like he is a superhero or whatever they would be as women were then merely nothing to look down upon. so taking all theses things in consideration women are really what have changed the world and what really have been the motivators of the world that is coming and become. In a way, we are just the idea and the men are the voice but which one really matters the voice or idea. without an idea there would be no voice to speak upon but without no voice there would be nobody to listen

    In the first direction, the reader witnesses the era when women only existed to make the male happy. The main character Edna finds that she has nothing to do other than stay in the house bored, since even her children are raised and cared for by servants. Day after day, all Edna is permitted to do is care for her husband and be there whenever he needs help or entertainment. Woman at that time could not vote, could not go out without a male escort, were not allowed to smoke in public, and were not allowed in the work place. These ideals set by the male driven society caused Edna to face her second trend of free will, conflicting with her other direction of oppression.

  • Has Feminism Benefited the American Society?

    For instance, women pursue infinite amounts of career options that they would have been deprived of in the past. For example, in 2008, Governor Sarah Palin was running as Senator John McCain’s vice presidential candidate (Baxter Paragraph 1). Because of the women’s movement, women like Sarah Palin strive to make the most of it. Possibly someday, in the future, the president could be a female. Women make up four-teen percent of the active duty military force (Velasquez 7).Without that four-teen percent the armed forces could be outnumbered. Women worked their way up to being able to shield their county in a benefitting way. On the other hand, there are more women applying for positions in medical schools all across the country (Chambers Paragraph 1). Any career can be possessed by women these days. In other words, the movement allowed men and women the option to follow their career preferences. Without the women’s movement, women would have been deprived of a prosperous future in a fascinating profession of their choosing.

    ...vel Margaret Atwood gives a bleak message about women. At the same time that she condemns Offred, Serena Joy, the Aunts and even Moira for their complacency, she suggests that even if the women gathered strength and stopped complying, they would be likely to fail to make a difference. This is because no matter what a woman does, she can never change her biology, which is the thing that puts her in this position. No matter what opinions women have,

  • The Role of Mrs. Hammond and Emily in Rebecca Rush's Novel Kelroy

    1283 Words  | 3 Pages

    In this day and age, women have liberties that are often taken for granted. Women have the freedom to choose which university they will attend (if they plan on attending college), what career they wish to pursue, and also whom their mate in marriage will be. In early American days, liberties of women were looked upon from society as being wealthy and holding high social status. Many did not have the opportunity to pursue a career, much less decide what university they preferred to attend. They were fortunate to even have the opportunity receive a higher education beyond reading! Choosing the right men for their futures ensured them the luxuries they wished to maintain. If they were not already included in "upper society," their chances of upward mobility were slim to none. If the family lost their fortune, their only salvation was to be married back into wealth, another slim to none chance. This is the reality Rebecca Rush clearly paints in Kelroy. Rush projects her judgment on early American society and the role of women and marriage. Using the creation of two main characters, Mrs. Hammond and Emily Hammond, Rush is able to project her disapproval of society's ways through their opposing views and personalities.

    One of the symbols that help show us how women were treated, can be found in the journal that she keeps. This story is what is known as an epistolary, it 's written in which the narrator of a story writes to themselves.

  • The Dinner Party Analysis

    Upon visiting the ‘’Roots of the Dinner Party,’’ at the Brooklyn Museum, I was enticed by this specific exhibition because I consider myself a feminist. Depending on who you speak to, everyone has their own opinion over Judy Chicago’s vision and work of art she beautifully created. When I arrived at the exhibition, I was blown away by the detail creating The Dinner Party. As i looked around exhibit, a singular plate that was encapsulated in a glass box struck out to me. It was painted with pastel colors ranging from pink, green, and blue. It’s light pink color alluded to the concept of how pink is often associated with women, but the green and blue reminded me of earth and how both of our existences are connected as one. Next to this plate

  • The Portrayal of Women in American Literature

    Hurston portrays women as independent and capable of infinite possibilities. Many aspects contribute to how an author, male or female, portrays his or her female characters. Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Steinbeck, Wharton, and Hurston all illustrate their own perception of women based upon personal experience and social acuity of their particular era. The portrayal of women in American Literature is based solely upon an author’s personal opinion and interpretation and does not necessarily symbolize the true spirit and quintessence of women as one.

Women have come along way since the beginning of time. They have been repressed and degraded by men, but as time has progressed, rallies and protests earned women the rights to independence and the opportunity to develop and advance independently if they choose to. With the freedom women have gained, they seized any opportunity to defy false beliefs portrayed in society. Females are capable of doing anything men can. Women have proven to be vastly more intelligent, strong, and emotionally connected than men.
