Sexuality
and Women's Self-Determination in Four Classic
Literary Works
[ send
me this paper ]
A 9 page paper showing the connection between these
two issues, as demonstrated in the works of
Aristophanes, Plato, Dante, and Shakespeare (Lysistrata,
The Apology, The Inferno, and The Tempest,
respectively). The paper asserts that Western
literature first mocked or dismissed the sexual
expression of female self-determination, later turned
it into a sin, and finally transformed it into a
social gaffe, but until recently still continued to
maintain that its suppression was not wrong.

The
Crime Of Rape / Responsibility, Blame, & Reporting
The Incident
[ send
me this paper ]
A 12 page research paper in which the writer discusses
the failure of most women to report rape due to the
unfortunate reality that society fails to accept their
definition of rape in many cases and is not always
sympathetic towards their plea for justice.
Comparisons are made between male and female views of
rape and who should be blamed. For example, men are
more likely to blame the woman if she is known to have
acted in a provocative, 'sexy' fashion whereas women
may blame a rape victim because of their need to feel
that they are in control of a violent situation and
also because of their need to distance themselves from
the victim. Disparate psychological issues concerning
recovery & coping are also discussed. Bibliography
lists more than 20 sources.

Gender
Bias
[ send
me this paper ]
A 6 page paper that discusses gender bias against
women in a male-dominated culture. Stereotypical
behaviors are learned early in life and are
perpetuated throughout life in media depictions of
women. The comments of three feminist authors are
integrated: Sandra Lee Bartky, Sandra Lipsitz Bem, and
Catharine A. MacKinnon. The writer also addresses the
need for women to take responsibility to change their
own environment. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
