Feminism
and Gender Roles in the 1950s and 1960s
[ send
me this paper ]
A 12 page overview of the societal changes which
occurred during these two decades in regard to the
relationships between men and women. Notes a number of
factors combined to effect these changes. These were
inclusive of the subservient role of women throughout
history, inequalities in the workplace, and the
perception of being bound into domesticity. Concludes
that to judge the changes in gender roles which
occurred during the 1960s is the same as judging any
facet of human evolution. The relationship between men
and women is no more static than any other aspect of
our culture and society. Women had witnessed the
breaking down of racial discrimination, and age-old
attitudes about sexuality and other barriers, they
were ready to implement equal changes in their own
lives. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

and Judaism
[ send
me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the fact that as feminism
has become a more commonplace mindset in the past
several decades, traditional interpretations of
various aspects of culture, including religious
beliefs, have evolved in ways that acknowledge and
accommodate a feminist based understanding. Judaism is
no exception. In fact, a feminist reinterpretation of
traditional texts combined with exploration of
historic women's religious practices has created a new
Jewish spirituality for women with new rituals and
beliefs. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
