Gender And Politics: Implications Of The Post-Structuralist Critique Of The Sex/Gender Distinction
[ send me this essay ]
20 pages in length. With the post-cultural critique came the reassessment of women's roles everywhere. Indeed, contemporary times have changed the very roles women portray in within the political arena, inasmuch as it can readily be argued how the birth of feminism is particularly responsible for the increased presence of female politicians. No longer are American women portrayed as the meek, mild, doormat types who drop everything when their families bellow; the feminist movement has been instrumental in demonstrating this dramatic change within the American political atmosphere.

[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page research paper that discusses the fascinating career of this extraordinary writer. The life of Gloria Evangelina Anzaldua (1942-2004) was remarkable, as she was a "poet, thinker and activist," who death robbed the world far too soon of a vibrant intellect and a compelling writer (Oboler 296). Anzaldua will be remember as a feminist and also as a lesbian who wrote compelling about gay rights and argued persuasively for toleration and love. However, among her many accomplishments, her contribution to the "collective examination of the tenuous location of Latinas and Latinos within the contours" of American culture is perhaps where she will be remembered best.

Heart of Flesh: A Book Review
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page review of "Heart of Flesh: A Feminist Spirituality for Women and Men" by Joan D. Chittister. The book documents the ostracism of women both from public policy and from the theological development of the western world and uses the work of other authors to substantiate Chittister's contentions. This ostracism has limited both the growth and the vision of the world. Chittister uses the life of Jesus as a format for the spirituality which she see so critically hinges on the embracement of feminist values rather than the condemnation of those values. She calls for calls for a reorganization of world thinking in terms of spirituality. A Feminist Spirituality for Women and Men", as its title would suggest, calls for hearts of flesh rather than the hearts of stone which have so shaped our past. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
