One of her biggest assists to the community was playing nurse or physician by delivering babies. Throughout her life she helped deliver 816 babies with a birth mortality rate that of the 1940’s. When she was not delivering babies she was typically found administering aid to sick neighbors with ointments, syrups and pills that she created from traditional times. Even though she was a woman she would typically be the first to be called to administer aid by her neighbors before doctors would be involved. Even when a doctor is called she would still assist the doctor in prescribing treatment. Unfortunately, when she was unable to save a life and the person she would administer aid to expires, she would be the one who cleans and prepares the body for burial. She was even invited to dissections by doctors of the time to watch and…

Carol Berkin masterfully presents a glimpse of the lives of the women who were affected by the Revolutionary War through many different eyes, views, and opinions in Revolutionary Mothers: Women in the Struggle for Independence. She paints a vivid picture in your mind of how the war affected these women by not focusing on one race or political view, but rather through multiple races and political views.…
Carol Berkin’s "Revolutionary Mothers: Women in the Struggle for America's Independence" is an excellent book that I immensely enjoyed. When many people think of the Revolutionary War, they might imagine George Washington gallantly leading his men through the winters at Valley Forge or the like. Berkin begins her masterpiece by giving a general overview of the roll that women played in our countries war for independence. Now I, like many others come to think of the iconic role model women like Betsy Ross and the fabled Molly Pitcher, but this star of a book opened my eyes to the everyday revolutionary woman. The running theme throughout the book is the fact that women during the revolutionary war were notable participants on many levels deemed beyond worthy of admiration. This theme was not touted, but elegantly weaved throughout the text in stories of women that left a permanent mark on war effort regardless of race or creed.…
Malala Yousafzai, an advocate for education for women in underdeveloped countries, once said, “The extremists are afraid of books and pens, the power of education frightens them. They are afraid of women.” (Claire). In the past, women had always been seen as the “weaker class”. A notion was present that women did not have the intellectual ability to learn and process information. Overtime, society has begun to generally accept that women are able to perform the same tasks as men, but this idea of acceptance did not occur overnight. It took many years, and massive feminist movements to unite society and display the great value of women. During the time period of various minority rights movements in the 1800’s, in “Enlightened Motherhood”, Frances…

She told me a little bit of her lives as children, they were 15 brothers and sister and always lived together till each one of them got marry and move to their own lives. Today there is only 7 of the left. While in this interview I asked my grandmother about the government during her childhood, she spoke to me about Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, a dictator who controlled The Dominican Republic for about 31 years. She told me how cruel he was and how strict everything was during that time “ Nuestras vidas eran como un infierno” (life was like hell), she described how this man always got what e wanted to get not matter what or who it was, “fue el tiempo mas duro que vivimos en Rep Dom nadie tenia control de nada solo el, “el chivo” ” ( this was the hardest time we lived in the Dom Rep nobody had control of anything but him, “The goat”).…
Carol Berkin’s book, Revolutionary Mothers: Women in the Struggle for American Independence, proclaims that the Revolutionary War was "the last great romance with war". It was more so a time of turbulence and disorder. The American Revolution did not discriminate against man or woman, class, race nor culture. The Revolution took a toll on the families during this time in history and it also made women important figures. Women were forced to take charge over their families and even on the battlefront. This was very intriguing to society because the roles that that they took on were not expected of their gender. Revolutionary Mothers: Women in the Struggle for America's Independence illustrates the historical events of…
The book As We Are Now, written by May Sarton, targets those concerned with the care of elderly individuals in nursing homes. In the book, Sarton artistically highlights the plethora of ongoing issues social workers face in their work as they attempt to provide quality care to the elderly population. The book is written as the memoirs of a very thoughtful elderly woman, Caroline Spenser, as she spent part of her life in a nursing home; and brings to light the lack of quality of care that elderly individuals received when living in such a facility in the 1970’s.…

Even though we have palliative care and assisted living for the frail and old, unpreparedness means that the healthcare professionals and society, in general, have not thought and discussed much about the process of dying and what it entails. Because of this, patients are living in institutions that do not address any goals of the patient, simply because the family is incapacitated to care for them anymore. With industrialization, elderly is at least able to escape from the fate of death and this has brought about fear and resentment towards these homes. They see these homes as odious and they see themselves as someone who was abandoned. I was astonished that someone finally confronted the existent issues of how institutionalized our care have…

he primary focus of my research are the factors involved in the advantages of long-term facilities and how these institutions, its’ professionals, and next of kin can improve to support the elderly in the resolution of life. My hypothesis is that if the elderly can be nurtured by specific factors the elderly population can improve their general health by maintaining a healthy state of mind with activities that consist with being interactive with others and environment, also having the freedom to do basic things. The main method of research was done using qualitative interview processes (un-, semi- or structured interview) ,visual representations, and some systematically emerging quantitative data into themes surrounding the benefits of nursing…
