Ida Mae And I: Similarities In Social Norm
Within a typical day, Ida Mae usually gets to fly high into the sky, while I can just imagine it. Ida Mae has her father’s plane for dusting crops; she also lives on a farm.

    Killing the president is a bad choice and all the people that were involved in killing the president should be punished. George Atzerodt was told and forced to kill Lincoln, but in the end he did not, but he still deserves a punishment for being part of the group that killed him, but, he should not have a big punishment like most other people. I think George Atzerodt needs to be in jail for about 3-5 years, so he would not get in another group of people and be forced to kill someone again. Lewis Powell had to murder the secretary of state seward. They all didn’t have a choice, Booth was a tough leader and he was very strict about his goal.…

    I have chosen to write my annotated bibliography on “The Common Woman” poems by Judy Grahn. I will be focusing on the issue of the female stereotype along with sexism/misogyny. I chose this because each of the poems had a very strong message, but they all sounded like stories we had heard before. As a female, I feel like I am a natural feminist.

I am hoping to find analyses and research on these poems that tell me where each one got its story from. I am also hoping to find the reasons for writing these poems. What was her intention? In order to answer my questions, I will need to find…

    Between the years of 1776 and 1876, a key change came about in America over the women. Before these dates, women were not considered to be very important to the community. The only major role they played was raising children and bringing food to the table. Since the years of the Revolution and the Constitutional Convention, however, the nation nearly doubled its geographic boundaries and its population. When the Market Revolution hit America, many people felt isolated and cut off from traditional sources of comfort and community.…

    Only among the Irish and Scandinavian immigrants were there numbers of young, single women who settled in America on their own. While some of the early arrivals, especially Scandinavian and German families, were able to fulfill their dreams, by the end of the 1800s, as the Western frontier filled and the price of land rose, new immigrants discovered that they had come too late or were too poor to buy farms. The new immigrants changed the landscape of the United States. 2 Millions of immigrants turned such towns as Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo into cities, and such cities as New York, Chicago, and Boston into huge urban centers. Each shipload of immigrants provided factory owners with a new supply of workers. Immigrant women did not work in heavy industry , the mines, or construction, but like immigrant men they became part of the lowest class of industrial labor. The gap between immigrant mothers and their daughters was especially acute.…

    In the 1800’s married women were treated unfair and unequal, and in this case inequality of all women, of all races, was very evident by the way women were merely property. State law governed in all states that married women were legal possessions rather than equal persons. Married women could not own any personal possession or property, all they had, became their husbands. In the 1800’s women had no rights to vote, and women would not have the right to vote until 1920. There were unequal wages for women in the work force, and men who did the same work load would be paid much higher than women. All Women, especially married women, were treated very unfairly and unequal, Because, they did not have legal rights to vote, own their own property,…
