Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 2,0, Universität Trier, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 1. Introduction The relationship between women and men and the broader social, judicial, familial, psychological or political ramifications of this relationship is an ongoing topic in the cultural arena with discussions of varying degrees of intensity and often with extremely different conclusions. The movement of feminism can be seen as initiator, but also as a catalyst or as an outcome of these discussions. But there is no monolithic block of feminism and no single literary theory of feminism, but one major landmark in the evolution of feminism is the publication of Simone de Beauvoir¿s book ¿Le DeuxièmeSexe¿ in 1949. By tracing back women¿s role and position in society with different methods, she stresses that the oppression of women is due to patriarchy pervading almost all societies. Turning back to literature, this description of patriarchy can usefully be applied in analysing a drama such as Shakespeare¿s The Merchant of Venice(1998). The female characters in this comedy are embedded in societal structures of patriarchy. This can be seen in the influence of father figures, the economic principles which underlie their existence and the final subjection to their husbands even though they actively participate. But eventually, they remain in their traditional role, not being able to subvert the societal system effectively. To support this thesis, the concept of feminism will be discussed, especially in regard of de Beauvoir¿s viewpoint. In a second step, the role of women in the Renaissance will be concerned, immediately referring to the play and its female characters. [...]

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald, language: English, abstract: Throughout the ages one particular cultural topic has occupied the minds of scholars, authors and politicians, the question of a woman¿s position in society. Up until the 20th century, when feminist activists finally reached achievements with their actions, the most important being the female right to vote, which was granted to women in Great Britain in 1918 only, the woman¿s inferior position to the man was seen as a given. Many works, fictional as well as academic and advisory were written throughout the ages that deal with the relations between men and women, not only by female authors, but also by male. Rooting in the basic dogmata of patriarchal society, the oppression of the ¿weaker¿ sex and the regard of women as the ¿weaker vessel¿ was justified with the Bible, anatomical facts and biological beliefs. Usually a woman was expected to be subject to her husband, father or other male superior, her job was to stay at home and take care of children and household. Great Britain was no exception to this rule. Nonetheless it is a curious fact that the great country has existed many years under a female monarch, and this not only once. Two of the world¿s most popular monarchs, who both reigned over 40 years, were the British queens Elizabeth I and Victoria. The first ruled over the country in the sixteenth, the second in the nineteenth century, but both were cause for many debates and gossip in English society of their respecting times. Each of the two women was an extraordinary woman and an important monarch, who achieved a lot for her country, and yet in their being women, both royals were typical for the women of their time. Despite their many similarities, Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria could not have been more different, since they lived and ruled in different times and regarded their roles as women and rulers differently. This paper will deal with exactly these problems. I will look at the problem of women¿s role in Elizabethan and in Victorian society, regarding their position according to their social, financial and marital status. Furthermore the paper will inspect the idea of the ideal woman and her position next to the man. At last I will assay the phenomena of the female ruler and analyse the figures of Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria and explore their situation as women on the throne.

To save her sister, she'll rewrite history... ------------------------- What would we risk to save the people we love? Sandbags line London's streets in 1940, but for Beatrice Bone the Second World War feels distant and dull. It doesn't help that she's stuck at home while her younger sister Clemmie is away doing secret war work at a mysterious place called The Park. Everything changes when Clemmie is killed in a fire. Plunged into grief, Beatrice treasures her sister's last gift: an antique pocket watch, inscribed with the words memento mori. Remember death. Beatrice quickly realises the watch is more than a memento when it transports her back in time, giving her the chance to save Clemmie. But there are consequences to changing the past, and when her actions have a ripple effect, Beatrice begins to wonder: what is she risking by defying death? Her own life, or her country's future? In her most ambitious and emotionally resonant novel yet, Emilia Hart once again conjures the power of female resilience and the ability of love to transcend time.

Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2021 From the acclaimed author of the Outline trilogy, a fable of human destiny and decline, enacted in a closed system of intimate, fractured relationships.

Jenny Offill 'Achieves a kind of formal perfection ... masterly.' Sally Rooney 'A work of great stunning beauty, deep insight, and great originality.'

Female artists have long employed collage to reflect the ways in which identity is often constructed from conflicting, contrasting, and contradictory parts. Cut Out explores the relationship between photography and feminist collage, foregrounding the use of femmage--a radical reclaiming of craft traditionally associated with women--as a resilient method within feminist and political art. Cut Out presents an expanded definition of collage and cutting techniques to encompass photomontage, assemblage, and the photogram. Tracing a lineage from nineteenth-century makers to contemporary practitioners, this fascinating volume covers Victorian album makers; modernist, surrealist, and Dadaist innovators; and radical, second-wave feminist artists. Thematic sections include profiles written by expert contributors on key individuals, including Hannah Höch, Dora Maar, and Lorna Simpson. Looking to the future as much as the past, Cut Out also reveals how the pioneering work of contemporary and digital artists continues to subvert dominant narratives and foster everexpanding forms of photographic collage. At a moment when photography and its history are being actively contested and reappraised, Cut Out is a reminder of its political power.

The Apgar Score is known the world over: a test given to babies to determine their health moments after they are born. Less well-known is the story of the brilliant, pioneering woman who invented it. Born at the turn of the twentieth century, Virginia "Ginny" Apgar soared above what girls were expected to do-or not do. She wasn't quiet, she wore all sorts of outfits, she played the sports she wanted to-and she pursued the career she chose, graduating near the top of her class at Columbia University and becoming only the second board-certified female anaesthesiologist in the United States. The simple five-step test she created-scribbled on the back of a piece of paper in answer to a trainee's question-became the standard and continues to impact countless newborn babies' lives today. Ginny adored science, hated cooking, drove fast, made her own violins, earned a pilot's license and travelled the world. Here, Carrie Pearson's jaunty storytelling and Nancy Carpenter's playful illustrations capture the energy and independence of a woman who didn't slow down for anything-and changed newborn care forever.
