Though it was frowned for a woman to act, think, write, and speak like men, that didn’t stop them. In the book, Revolutionary Mothers by Carol Berkin, we learned that women were prohibited to exercise anything out of field and house work, especially politics, this book demonstrates that over the decades, women had altered that perception.

It is encouraging to see how powerless women can come together to build an empowering impact. The beginning of the paper showed how people from all backgrounds came together to honor the late Sister Mary Irene. This single individual was able to use her life to create an organization for women and children. It was said how history books tend to leave her out as a public figure, but her achievements should be recognized worldwide. This subject matter relates back to our class discussions where we talked about the privileges women were deprived of.

Women are viewed as fragile and delicate, but strong enough to keep a house clean, kids in line and a happy husband. Women are expected to be stay at home moms and depend on their husbands for everything while having no opinions of their own. However, there are women who have overlooked those expectations and proved that women are capable of doing anything. Deborah Sampson and Elizabeth Van Lew are just two women who have helped break the norms of women’s roles in society. Sampson’s impressive braveness and loyalty to fight for her country against all odds have proved that women are capable to endure harsh horrors.

The roles of these women, whether viewed in a positive or negative light, bring together the plot and the influence that they posses. These female characters There is a message that these women bring beyond the surface of their

We often imagine male leaders more than female leaders. Especially, in some places or time period where there were gender inequalities. But at that time, 2 brave female stood up to be a leader, one American-Mexican girl named Esperanza Cordero, in The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, and another named Paikea Apirana, in the film Whale Rider by Niki Caro, a Maroni decedent. Both leaders lived across immeasurable amount of distance and time period, one lived at Chicago, and another lived at New Zealand. Both leaders experienced the harsh reality and tragic of gender inequalities in now and back then.

In the movie, the four main characters reject respectability politics and turn to robbery to change their circumstances. The film highlights the failure of this strategy, as the women are still marginalized and punished for their actions. Harris-Perry's analysis in Sister Citizen shows how respectability politics can leave black women feeling ashamed and inadequate when they fail to meet those norms. Both works emphasize the need for structural change to address the systemic inequalities faced by black

The authors took the transcript of the trail and made it into a captivating graphic novel of her story. The novel is thought to be a history about “women without history” and a historical production.

This can lead people of color to feel powerless because if they express their anger, they can end up being killed. Diversity is also expressed in the novel. While balancing her

As a society, we face uncertain outcomes. This uncertainty makes it inevitable that we have occasional losses and gains. In history, three people took risks to gain freedom, independence, and peace in their lives. Ruby Bridges, John Lewis, and Marian Anderson represent heroes who risked their lives, facing disastrous odds to pursue freedom and preach peace. The Story Of Ruby Bridges, by Robert Coles, illustrates a dangerous risk taken for the sake of improving people’s lives.

From the earliest of times in society, females have had to consistently fight for equality in society. The mistreatment of women often included violence, abuse, financial inequalities, harassment, voting inequalities, and many more inequalities that men have not had to face compared to females. These unacceptable actions that are often seen as “normal” in society are a grim reminder of what women endured and still have to endure today. Many women never had a platform to fight for change and call out injustice in fear of their safety, shame from others, and the threat of breaking “social norms”. However, many influential women risked many things for the basic rights that men have been enjoying for centuries.

For example, sanitation workers had to carry bags of garbage that had holes in them and since they were paid low wages, they ended up poor on welfare. Not only was this film was a way of seeing another turning point during the civil rights movement but also, African Americans fighting for justice. Even though I was not born during that time, I can understand how they felt because it wasn’t that easy. In today’s society racism isn’t as bad as what it was during that time. Besides we still have times were we face racism in our lives so I would say in some areas racism is still a

They are treated like slaves and are seen as easily disposable. There are several moments throughout the film that show the racial, gender, and class inequalities. These moments also show exploitation and opportunity hoarding. The Help also explains historical context of the inequality that occurred during that time period.
