worth examining is the non-inclusive history in feminist literature. To examine this history well‚ feminists adopted the intersectional lens‚ which allowed them to examine the post-“second storm” movement more in-depth. With the adoption of the intersectional lens‚ we see that feminist women‚ no matter their origin‚ are all striving for equality. Henceforth‚ the “storm metaphor” comes into play allowing feminists to obtain a worldly viewpoint on feminist ideology from all around the world. I use this

it is time for this feminist to express why‚ in my opinion‚ Bernie is the better candidate to address everyday issues facing women. As a woman‚ I vote with my brain‚ not my anatomy. The insinuation that a "true feminist" would choose Hillary simply because she is a woman is in itself sexist. As a feminist‚ I push for equality. Equality means selecting the candidate that best represents the good of women‚ and policies are not based on gender. I am proud to know several feminists who are both male

Steinbeck’s "The Chrysanthemums" is a feminist text. Throughout the whole book there is a slight undertone about how Elisa is tired of her life and wants to leave her husband and the boring tedious life she leads there with him. While she is a somewhat strong woman‚ what with helping around on the farm‚ it still seems like she is eager to get away from it all and have an adventure. The story begins with discussing how good of a gardener Elisa is‚ and how proud she is of her garden. Gardening is usually

Although Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow is a supporting character (and the only major female role‚ aside from Gwyneth Paltrow’s stand by your Iron Man cameo)‚ she reminds the audience of the ways in which girl power can be both feminist and fun. Black Widow’s skin-tight black suit provides eye-candy to the 18-25 year-old moviegoing males who are considered box office bread and butter. But archetypes of masculine sex appeal are on display as well (from Thor’s brawny good looks to

Most of the rhetoric in the women’s movement rejects the Abrahamic Religions. Phyllis Trible notes in her essay Eve and Adam: Genesis 2-3 Reread that feminist are hostile towards the Bible because they believe the Bible to be hostile towards them.

The Scarlet Letter can easily be seen as an early feminist piece of work. Nathaniel Hawthorne created a story that exemplifies Hester as a strong female character living with her choices‚ whether they were good or bad‚ and also as the protagonist. He also presents the daughter of Hester‚ Pearl‚ as an intelligent female‚ especially for her age. He goes on to prove man as imperfect through both the characters of Dimmesdale and of Chillingworth. With the situation that all the characters face‚ Hawthorne

If men and women could get beyond the fundamental biases they inherit from the past and actually understand what females are capable of then maybe they would see the need for a feminist platform that empowers women. To many‚ women may seem emotional beings‚ not capable of making sound decisions‚ but females are caregivers; they may well care more about a society’s well-being than men do. Men are more into being on top of the hierarchy and gaining power over others. This has led to such disasters
