Judy Chicago The Dinner Party Analysis
I think Judy Chicago’s, The Dinner Party, is very political. Judy goes very in depth making detail on each setting to each women’s time and how their civilizations viewed them. Trying almost to educate people on the hardships of each women's time and culture. As you work your way around the table the plates start to have more texture and show more want for equality within each society.

I see this work as controversial because women still argue today that we are not treated fairly. This work is still about a issue that is present today and most people try to brush it under the rug or make it seem less of an issue then it is. I think more then half of people would see the world and culture as unfair to women and their rights, but their is still

    She thinks material that humiliates women in this way should be restricted, shut away from the public eye, instead of flaunted as it's been in the past. One example she makes is that if the public perception of women is that they are objects, a rapist might safely think he's done nothing wrong.…

    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. These poems really stuck out to me because there is still people all around the world that feel that these portrayals of woman are in face “a common woman”. 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…

    “Wasn't that the point of the book? For women to realize, we are just two people. Not that much separates us (p. 530).” Descriptions of historical events of the early activities of the civil rights movement are sprinkled throughout the novel, as are relations between the maids and their white employers. The novel is filled with details from the early-1960s culture in the United States like Martin Luther King, Jr.’s famous march on Washington…

    In both Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and Ain’t I A Woman by Sojourner Truth, the authors use literary devices to show how women are often objectified in society. Sojourner Truth not only speaks to the objectivity of women, but especially women of color. Both authors show that women are thought to be weak. Dating back earlier than the Great Depression, you can see that women, especially those of color, were often seen as second class citizens.…

    Myth of the Latin Woman

    One of the issues with her essay is that she is too sensitive. She goes a little too far when she describes the incident where an old woman mistakenly thought she was a waitress. She makes a huge deal of something that is a very petty issue. She definitely presents this minor experience as very offensive. Another incident she recounts in this essay is the one in London, where she felt humiliated by this British guy who is on his knees singing to her. Most women would find this very amusing and charming rather than offensive, overcoming the issue of being stereotyped as sexual icons by embracing it instead of fighting it.…

    While at first glance I felt that the article by Solnit and Wright were not connected they became ever more interested when I realized just how deeply associated they were in reality. The Solnit piece is one of my favorite pieces of writing because she clearly and eloquently explains situations I never knew how to describe. I also think she is touching upon one of the foundational elements that leads to the types of oppression the other authors explained. My favorite line in Solnit's piece is "Most women fight wars on two fronts, one for whatever the putative topic is and one simply for the right to speak, to have ideas, to be acknowledged to be in possession of facts and truths, to have value, to be a human being", because it concisely explains her larger argument and many situations I have personally…

    This tragic novel was written to describe a real life occurrence. The story had different names and different details, but this novel was used to describe this slave woman named Margaret Garner. But does it matter what name she had? Does her story have an impact on changing the world? I believe it could. One woman's pain and sacrifices should not go in vain. This novel explains how much pain and how dehumanized people were, not just any people, African Americans. Sacrifice is human nature, whether good or bad we must sacrifice…

    The movie tackles the tricky subject of stereotypes assigned to women, and how much they can be damaging to a woman’s pride, career and life. People love the movie for Reese Witherspoon’s portrayal of a young woman trying to impress a man, by getting into and succeeding at Harvard Law. The main character struggles the entire movie with the assumptions people make of her, writing her off as some blonde joke, yet she works to overcome these stereotypes and find out what really makes her happy. While this movie is wonderful for its character development, I find the main character to be too much of a Mary Sue, as they make her a little too perfect, and while she struggles, the idea that she might prove everyone wrong and succeed at everything is a little too unrealistic for some…
