[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. People from all walks of life must endure social intolerance at one time or another; however, certain groups face prejudicial persecution on a regular basis. What is the answer for gays, lesbians, feminists and proponents of abortion that would bring a sense of peace and security in this lifetime? Is it too much to hope for that social bias begin to wane in exchange for a more understanding and open-minded world? Indeed, what lies at the foundation of all intolerance – be that toward homosexuals, feminists or those who support abortion – is a combination of fear and ignorance, an alliance that not only precludes the chance for security and peace but one that also encourages just the opposite.

[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Carrying forth the burden that has plagued women for centuries, Adrienne Rich's When We Dead Awaken: Writing As Re-Vision attempts to alter the historical concept of patriarchy within the boundaries of contemporary society. In the author's opinion, the age-old gender molds are ripe for revamping and bringing into the present frame of consciousness. No longer are women to be made to suffer through an oppressive existence simply because it is the right thing to do; rather, Rich paints a new picture of a strong, intelligent woman who will not be coerced by the irrational expectations of an oppressive, patriarchal society.

Aristophanes' "The Birds": Would He Be Offended If It Were Recast With A Feminist Twist?
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Would Aristophanes have turned over in his grave if he had seen the following feminist production of his play The Birds? Indeed, one could readily argue that he would not be the least bit appalled at what the female director had done to transform his historical work into one that reflects modern day existence. Key to knowing that this is how Aristophanes would react is knowing a bit about his other works in which he openly touted the elements of feminism with much enthusiasm. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Black Women and their Reactions to Slavery
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page analysis of the impact wielded by the institution of slavery on African Americans. African American women, in particular, had a tremendously varied reaction to slavery. These reactions varied from complete passivity, to outright violence, to societal action. This paper analyzes the stories related in “Celia, a Slave: A True Story”, “Sojourner Truth : A Life, a Symbol” and “A Black Woman's Civil War Memoirs” to emphasize that some reactions were obviously more effective than others in bringing about positive change. These reactions were shaped not only by the institution of slavery, however, but by the individual circumstances and experiences of individual women and those with whom she interacted.
