between the times of 1900 - 1920. The texts I’ve studied are the two poems ’We As Women’‚ by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and ’The Bees Song’ by Julia Ward Howe‚ the novel ’In defense of Women’‚ by H.L. Mencken and the poem ’I know why the caged bird sings’ by Maya Angelou. Also through these four texts I have found three main ideas‚ these are ’how women were treated unequally’‚ ’survival’‚ and what women could bring to the world. ’We as Women’ shows all of these ideas widely. The women society at this time

1900 Versus 2000 I think that we take for granted the things that we have today. Just look at all of the innovations in technology and quality of living over the last 100 years. Back in the year 1900‚ things went crazy. All sorts of new inventions were coming out all of the time‚ and people were becoming rich beyond their wildest dreams. In my opinion‚ the past 100 years have left us in a completely different world. Back in the early 1900’s people were amazed to see a person driving

1. “An analysis of the popular culture of the United States from 1865 to 1900 reveals deep class‚ gender‚ and ethnic or racial divisions.” Assess the validity of this statement. I believe that this statement is very accurate given the social conditions of American society around the turn of the 20th century. Following the end of the Civil War and Reconstruction‚ Americans struggled to regain a sense of normality and divisions between different groups of people highlighted the flaws within society

The musicians involved with the movement came from a mixture of backgrounds and the music served as a source of empowerment for those who shared similar sentiments with those performing it. Being that jazz and blues were popular genres during that time

Healthcare and nursing in the 1900-1919 period would change history forever. Nursing during this time would change from the traditional bedside nursing at home to a more institutional based nursing within the hospitals (Porter-O’Grady‚ T. 2004). In the Early 20th century most nursing education was hospital based and students learned by doing. Care was now being delivered at the hospitals. Organized medicine begins to emerge with the American Medical Association (AMA) reorganizing as the national

Every parent and child should have trust in their relationship with each other. There is a signifacant difference in the parenting styles in 1900 than the parenting styles in today’s society. In the 1900s‚ it was socially acceptable for parents‚ mainly the fathers‚ to punish their children in a forceful manner. “Fathers typically were there to punish and enforce the children” (Museum‚ n.d.). Today‚ if parents were to paddle their children in the behind‚ the beating would be viewed as assault. Mel
