Life for a black woman in the 1960’s was about as easy as finding a job once you’ve been called a thief. No one treated you right‚ everyone looked at you as if you had some sort of disease‚ you got bossed around and you had to take it. A symbol represented in the book is a white apron. A white apron represents the help since that is what they have to wear everyday of their lives while working for their white peoples. The idea a white apron represents is the injustice black people have to deal with

Radium Girls was a chemical disaster that happened during the 1920’s. Women in watch making were being exposed to Radium all the time.

They painted the numbers on the watches. They

I am a black female. My Afro is often met with stranger’s hands and I was once told that my lips made me look clownish. For better or worse‚ my identity as a black girl has shaped my every experience in this world. It affects not only how the world treats me‚ but also how I perceive it. Many people look at me and they don’t see past my race‚ they see a swirl of stereotypes and assume they know me.

The glass ceiling is traditionally defined as “an unofficially acknowledged barrier to advancement in a profession‚ especially affecting women and members of minorities” (Merriam-Webster). I argue that through Young’s analysis of the modalities specific to feminine spatiality‚ it becomes clear that the glass ceiling exists not only in professional environments but throughout a woman’s life.

In this analysis‚ I will be comparing Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’‚ Robert Browning’s ‘The Laboratory’ and ‘Porphyria’s Lover’. All of these texts include one or more villainous characters. Lady Macbeth shows that she is a villain when she is persuading Macbeth to kill King Duncan. We see this in the quotation “When you durst do it‚ then you were a man”‚ in which she attacks his masculinity. “Look like the innocent flower‚ but be the serpent under’t” is an important quotation and can be related to the
