Challenges and Limitations of Women Writers in the Early 20th Century: Examples from Works of Virginia Woolf and Rosamond Lehmann
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper describing the challenges and limitations faced by women writers in the early 20th century. Women writers of the late 19th and early 20th century were faced with many limitations and challenges in completing their work. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) does a great deal to explain the challenges and roles of women writers within her work “A Room of One’s Own” in which she gives first hand observations of limitations imposed upon past, present and future women writers. In addition to these observations by Woolf, characters within her works such as those found in “To the Lighthouse” also reveal the constant struggle and conflict women must overcome to obtain their own identity. Other women writers during this time, such as Rosamond Lehmann (1901-1990) also demonstrate the frustrations found within the professional woman in defining her role. Lehmann’s character of Olivia Curtis in her works “Invitation to the Waltz” and “The Weather in the Streets” also reveal the author’s own feelings about the pre-defined roles of women in society and the challenges women face overcoming or dealing with these roles in order to meet their artistic, professional or emotional needs.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman/An Example of Heroism
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page research paper that argues that Gilman's life constitutes an example of heroism. Heroism is often equated with fighting in battle. While this is certainly brave, the soldier receives tremendous societal reinforcement and approval for such bravery. Heroism is also shown by those who go against the dictums of society and face social rejection and ostracism. It takes intense bravery and is extremely heroic to stand against societal mores and concepts that are widely accepted and say "This is wrong." In the nineteenth century, Charlotte Perkins Gilman took a stand diametrically opposed to the way in which women were treated during the Victorian era. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Circumventing The 'Glass Ceiling'/ Women As Entrepreneurs
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. There is really nothing any more remarkable in women entrepreneurs' efforts than there are in the men counterparts' work, at least not in the present. In the early years, women were at a distinct disadvantage if they intended to focus on any business that could be seen as untraditional. Since those first ground-breaking years, however, women-owned businesses are just businesses—sound management practices and tuned acumen truly is without gender. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Comparison of Feminist Theories on Motherhood and the Concept of the Goddess
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing different feminist theories on motherhood and the Goddess. Within feminist theories are different aspects regarding concepts of motherhood and the Goddess among other historical and cultural issues. Some feminists such as Sarah Ruddick see motherhood as an empowerment of women to gain a new perspective on the theories of practicality over those of military violence and through their nurturing and training of their children can aid in the peace making process. Other feminists however such as Jeffner Allen see motherhood as yet another example of men’s oppression by restricting women to domestic duties. The concept of the Goddess is also considered by Mary Daly and Carol Christ. Research on the concept of the Goddess has found that the Goddess is an extension of women’s inner self and is not seen necessarily as an omnipotent and suppressive being but one which advocates change, flexibility and nature.
