Mernissi describes the implicit theory of female sexuality, which has been deeply entrenched in the Muslim subconscious. The implicit theory defines Muslim civilization as a constant struggle to contain the effects of women's sexual power over men, for this power can destroy men and keep them from Allah. Mernissi also discusses how marriage was used as a way of taming women. Well in Midaq Alley, Mahfouz proves that that theory does not always work. Husniya regularly beats her husband, Jaada, she does not need to use her fitna to exert her power over Jaada. Instead, she straight up uses her physical force. However, Zaita, the cripple-maker, at one point says to Hussainy “You’re always moaning about your bad luck and asking why you’re the only…

Queen Hatshepsut, the daughter to both Thutmose I and Queen Ahmose, was unlike another daughter or son at that matter. Hatshepsut was the favorite of the children but also had two brothers, who had died prematurely, which left her as an only child. Unfortunately since both her brothers died, it left her to be the only one to take the throne when her father passed away. When her father passed away she eventually became pharaoh after realizing that she made more of the decisions that any of her step brothers. Queen Hatshepsut had now become the fifth pharaoh of the 18th dynasty and also the first female to ever rule Egypt. Hatshepsut ruled for little over 21 years and obviously was the most remarkable woman that ever had influenced Egypt. Hatshepsut was one of the most prolific builders in ancient Egypt, appointing hundreds of construction projects throughout both upper and lower Egypt. After becoming a pharaoh, Hatshepsut took on qualities that male pharaohs did as well, which was dressing and looking more masculine than women could. Eventually Queen Hatshepsut hired the architect, Senmut, who she wanted to have build and put together the temples which she had in mind. She wanted her temple to stand on the western bank of the Nile River also known as western Thebes. After many years it was noticed that Senmut had put together several excellent temples, so he was directed to have special focus on the next one, which would be the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Senmut build her one the best temples early Egypt has seen. He constructed an Obelisk, which is a tapering, four sided shaft of stone, usually monolithic and also having a pyramidal apex. This temple was the design of Hatshepsut herself, but she also had the intention to have it as a funerary temple. A funerary temple was typically a place for burial for a person like Queen Hatshepsut. This temple was said to be one of the largest temples of all time and was also…

"Babe, go make me a sandwich." Since the dawn of time, women have been considered inferior to men. Most societies throughout history viewed women as poisonous or unimportant compared to male counterparts. Men provide for the family; the woman cleans, cooks, and stays silent. Two of the most contradicting societies were the Greeks and the Assyrians. Women in Hellenistic Greece were treated with more respect than women in Assyrian societies because Greek men saw women as angelic, perfect, chaste, and innocent with no possible way of "poisoning" a man. "Poisoning" refers to destroying the man's chances at reaching the afterlife, which Assyrians did not believe in. The Assyrians also had a very pessimistic outlook on life, which influenced the thoughts on men and women during the time period.…
Kristin grew up in an admired respected family, where Christian values were learned from birth (14). Her father Lavrans Bjorgulfson is a beloved man in the community. He is very fond of Kristin because she is the oldest, surviving child in the family and they also share similar good looks. Kristin, being attached to her father, finds more comfort in him than any other person. One day, Lavrans takes Kristin along with him on a trip to the mountains.
