...Created by Judy Chicago, The Dinner Party is an icon of feminist art that illustrates different women’s races, personalities, and accomplishments. The Dinner Party speaks up for women that have made significant changes in society but have been dismissed because of their race or gender. The table is composed of many divergent women who have overcome obstacles and accomplished their goals. Being overlooked throughout the years, Judy Chicago later focuses our attention on the anatomy aspect of the table. In its entirety, The Dinner Party is seen as a joke of “club clitoris and vagina china.” One characteristic of The Dinner Party that makes it a feminist work of art is the use of female anatomical imagery. In The Dinner Party, the female anatomy depictions and descriptions are one of the main topics that were vocalized. Judy Chicago uses many “vulgar” or “inappropriate” images and phrases to get her message across. In doing so, many think that Judy has went way beyond her limits for a woman. One controversial aspect of the table were her plates. Her plates are china painted with butterfly and vulva forms on them. These butterfly and vulva drawings symbolize new beginnings, opportunities opening up, and information and knowledge originating from women from the time they are born to the time they die. “The vagina is the stamp for women.” In...

...Through studying gender roles during my Visual Art course and exploring social exclusion in Society and Culture, it compelled me to want to learn more about the representation of women within the art world. As a socially aware individual with an interest in art, I felt the need to explore these inequalities to see if they still exist and how this may impact on other young artists. The research methods that I chose were interview, statistical analysis and content analysis, which would provide me qualitative results, as well as quantitative by being able to collect data and statistics. Originally, I planned on conducting a focus group discussion, however as my project progressed, I decided on content analysis as it allowed me to observe a variety of sources and immerse myself in the art world. By choosing an interview I was able to gain insightful knowledge from four females who were either art curators or historians and one male who is an art historian. This gave me qualitative results as I was able to receive in-depth answers from numerous people and allowed and exploration of my cross-cultural by interviewing both genders and gaining their perspectives on this. However, there were some limitations such as by completing my interviews through e-mail, I was not able to ask any follow up questions for answers to be further elaborated. Additionally I only had one interview with a male and four with females, which may cause more perspectives from females and thus, a gender bias. By conducting...

...She makes many bold statements such as: “… what Freud believed to be biological was often a cultural reaction….” (1302). Her belief was that “…Victorian culture gave women many reasons to envy men: the same conditions, in fact, that the feminists fought against” (1302). Friedan spoke of the status that men have in our society being what women envy, not simply their genitalia. The only reason that woman’s envy is viewed as “penis envy” is because that is the only thing that separates a man from a woman. But it is not so much that as it is the status and perks that come with the gender that has that sexual organ. Friedan also argues that women have to keep their envy hidden from society “… to play the child, the doll the toy, for her destiny depended on charming man” (1302). She summed up that “You cannot explain away a woman’s envy of man… as being mere refusal to accept her sexual deformity, unless you think that a woman, by nature, is a being inferior to man”...

...How did the feminist art movement influence expressionism? Gender equality is an issue that has gradually become a day to day affair in our society; it’s near impossible to avoid seeing it or hearing about it. However, gender equality as an issue is often associated with politics, not art, but as a result of it, feminists began to illustrate the issue through expressionist art forms. Feminist art was used to shock, educate and mock, as well as be used as an outlet for women to tell their story, which, through traditional values, was almost impossible. As a result, the expressionist art form evolved more than anyone could have ever imagined. The amount of new mediums and outlets that were explored and created as a result of feminist art was phenomenal. However, like with any other significant change, there were many critics that wished it hadn’t. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Traditionally, men were the dominant gender; the boss, and women were mere selfish pleasures used to sexually gratify a man. She must also cook for him, clean for him, bear his children and just simply act as the man’s object. These values carried over into the art world, where, female artists were virtually unheard of, they were only art works; objects of the male gaze. When women appeared in art, the majority were only half dressed or nude, as well as being placed in a vulnerable position; waiting for the man do dominate her. It was as the snowball effect started of feminist movements...

...GENDER WAGE GAP INTRODUCTION Nowadays there are a lot of women graduates from universities, master programs and colleges. Also some studies showed that women are doing better in school then men (Buchmann, 2006). So why are women still not getting paid equally as men? We see that the gap is getting narrower and narrower throughout the years. However, pay gap between men and women still exist. After World War II, women were paid 60% of what men paid. This situation got better in 2000s. Studies showed that in 2009, women earn 80% of what men earn after one year they graduate from college (Day and Hill, 2007). Even though women's level of education is getting higher throughout the years, this improvement is not enough to getting pay equally as men. Women are continuing to earn less than men on average, and the convergence is not enough to compensate the gap in the upcoming years. This paper focuses on the worldwide gender pay gap and it gives general insights about the issue. I will try to explain the reasons of the gender pay gap between men and women. At the first part, I will briefly look at the issue historically. I will try to explain the trends of pay gay throughout the years. I will analyze the gender wage gap starting from the post World War II period. At the second part, I will explain some theories and studies about the reasons of gender wage gap. Some theories attribute this situation to “gender-specific”...

...The legal and ethical issues surrounding abortion have been an ongoing debate for years. Pro- life activists, or those who oppose abortion, say that a fetus is a human being and should have rights. They say that abortion is the murder of an innocent life. Believers in pro-choice, or those who support abortion, argue that a baby should not be considered anything more than a “potential life” dependent on the mother’s body. A body that she owns the rights to and can therefore choose whether or not it will sustain another life. Although I do not agree with every belief that many pro-choice supporters have, I do agree with some of them. Abortions must remain legal because of certain circumstances that occur beyond a woman’s control and also for the lives, and quality of life that they actually save. Abortion became legal following the ruling of the Supreme Court case, Roe V. Wade, in 1973. This was the most significant abortion court case there has ever been for both supporters and those who oppose. The court viewed it was a “fundamental right” of a woman to be able to decide to end her pregnancy if she wishes to. According to the court ruling, a woman’s right to have her pregnancy terminated is protected by the United States Constitution in the First Amendment, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and also the Fourteenth Amendments (Frontline, 2006). The judge declared that any state laws that make abortions inaccessible by placing strict conditions on which an abortion can be performed will...

...WOMEN AND LEADERSHIP: THE STATE OF PLAY Deborah L. Rhode and Barbara Kellerman July, 2006 c Some four decades ago, Betty Friedan helped launch the contemporary women’s movement with her publication of The Feminine Mystique. The book famously identified a “problem that has no name”: American women’s confinement to a separate and unequal domestic sphere. One factor contributing to women’s unequal status was their absence from leadership positions. Another aspect of the problem was the lack of cultural consensus that this absence was itself part of the problem, and a matter of social concern. Over the last several decades, we have named that leadership problem and created a cottage industry to address it. Women’s underrepresentation in positions of power generates an increasing array of committees, commissions, consultants, centers, conferences, and commentary such as the essays that follow. Yet while we have made considerable progress in understanding the problem, we remain a dispiriting distance from solving it. I. The Underrepresentation of Women in Leadership Roles The facts are frustratingly familiar. Despite almost a half-century of equal opportunity legislation, women’s opportunities for leadership are anything but equal. To be sure, the situation has improved significantly over this period, particularly if leadership is broadly defined to include informal as well as formal exercises of authority.[i] By that definition, the percentage of women...

...arrangements; the second category captures those whose narratives work instead to identify inequality and disrupt it. Building on Griswold’s methodological approach to literary fiction, this project examines how children’s novels describe, challenge, or even subvert systems of inequality. Through a sociological reading of three sampled texts – Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, A Wrinkle in Time, and Hitty: Her First Hundred Years – readers learn how these analytical categories work and how the sociology of literature might be enriched by attention to structural forms of inequality within literary fiction. This essay investigates children’s books in order to reinvigorate the discussion and use of novels by sociologists.

...IGOROTS * Home * IGOROT SONGS * IGOROT DANCE * IGOROT TRADITIONS * MONEY ON THE MOUNTAIN IGOROT TRADITIONS IGOROT TRADITIONS When we talk about Igorot identity and culture, we also have to consider the time. My point is that: what I am going to share in this article concerning the Igorot culture might not be the same practiced by the Igorots of today. It has made variations by the passing of time, which is also normally happening to many other cultures, but the main core of respect and reverence to ancestors and to those who had just passed is still there. The Igorot culture that I like to share is about our practices and beliefs during the "time of Death". Death is part of the cycle of life. Igorots practice this part of life cycle with a great meaning and importance. Before the advent of Christianity in the Igorotlandia, the Igorots or the people of the Cordilleran region in the Philippines were animist or pagans. Our reverence or the importance of giving honor to our ancestors is a part of our daily activities. We consider our ancestors still to be with us, only that they exist in another world or dimension. Whenever we have some special feasts (e.g., occasions during death, wedding, family gathering, etc.), when we undertake something special (like going somewhere to look for a job or during thanksgiving), we perform some special offer. We call this "Menpalti/ Menkanyaw", an act of butchering and offering animals. During these times we call them...
