What is Women?

Women as a subject of academic inquiry spans disciplines including history, sociology, political science, literature, and public health. Courses in gender studies, social issues, American history, and cultural analysis regularly assign work on this topic because it sits at the intersection of power, identity, policy, and lived experience. The breadth of the subject allows students to examine how social structures have shaped women's opportunities, rights, and roles across vastly different cultures and time periods, making it one of the most consistently rich areas for analytical writing. Virginia Woolf's essay "Professions for Women" and Edward Said's framing of gender in colonial literature such as Kim illustrate how canonical texts continue to anchor discussions about representation and social constraint.

Student papers on this topic take a wide range of approaches. Historical analysis dominates many essays, tracing women's roles from Ancient Greece and Rome through Colonial New England and into modern American history since 1865. Comparative and regional studies examine women's education in the Middle East and women's rights in Saudi Arabia, while policy-focused work addresses military service, incarceration, and reproductive health. Case analysis and business strategy also appear, as in examinations of Nike's global women's fitness initiatives, showing that gender intersects with institutional and corporate contexts as well as social ones.

A strong essay on women should establish a focused thesis that specifies a time period, region, or institutional context rather than attempting to cover the subject broadly. Evidence drawn from primary historical sources, legislative records, or documented case studies carries particular weight. The most common pitfall is treating "women" as a monolithic category — effective essays account for how race, class, culture, and geography shape women's experiences in meaningfully different ways.

On Liberty and the US Constitution

None of the issues being raised today by the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement are new, but rather they date back to the very beginning of the United States. At the time the Constitution was written in 1787, human rights and civil liberties were far more constrained than they are in the 21st Century. Only white men with property had voting rights for example, while most states still had slavery and women and children were still the property of fathers and husbands. Only very gradually was the Constitution amended to grant equal citizenship and voting rights to all, and even the original Bill of Rights was added only because the Antifederalists threatened to block ratification. In comparison, the libertarianism of John Stuart Mill in his famous book On Liberty was very radical indeed, even in 1859 much less 1789. He insisted that individuals should be left totally free to do as they pleased so long as they did no harm to others. To that extent, he would have supported the rights of OWS to protest and dissent, and been highly critical of how the authorities were suppressing the movement on the flimsiest of pretexts. As a supporter of free markets, he would also have opposed the trillions in dollars in bailout money that large banks and corporations have received from governments. On the other hand, he probably would have found the ideas of many OWS supporters too radical or socialistic, but at the same time have defended their right to assemble and demonstrate

Gender Studies and Feminism

Though we presume that one model is male and one model is female, their similarity highlights their androgyny, their lack of gender or the blurring of gender. The authors may refer to this as post gender. With a quick glance, either model could be either gender or both at once because we cannot see their bodies. Confusion or diffusion of gender is implied in the composition of this photo. This may be what the authors refer to when speaking of disruption with regard to stereotypes of the human body.

Cemetery Archeology Project More Than

More than four centuries of continual human inhabitance in around the region of New England, and especially Eastern Massachusetts, has created one of America's richest archeological areas in terms of concentrated colonial graveyards. The slow but steady progression of scientific advancement, medical sanitation, and social structures obviously leads to the lengthening of one's lifespan in connection with modernity, but due to the particular gender inequities in place during this era, it is reasonable to assume that females did not benefit in equal proportion to their male counterparts. The average age at the time of death has undoubtedly changed as time has progressed, but further study is needed to test for correlations between gender and the lengthened lifespan afforded by living in later eras. By studying the dozens of colonial headstones collected within Medford's Oak Grove Cemetery, and recording pertinent data regarding birth and death dates, gender, and family affiliation, an informative table has been developed from which broader theories on this hypothesis can be extrapolated and tested.
