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.

Should Australia Have a Bill of Rights

Australia is the last remaining Common Law country without a Bill or Rights or Human Rights Bill. It is important to note that the Australian variant of liberalism differs from the Anglo-American model in two important ways. First, the establishment of Australia as a series of British colonies under authoritarian governors and the absence of any political revolution has meant a lesser stress on the idea of individual rights versus the state. There has been no one in Australian history to shout 'Give me liberty or give me death', no real pressure to incorporate a Bill of Rights into our Constitution (Rowse, 1978).

Communication -- Gender and Communication the Parameters

Communication – Gender and Communication "Femininity" is best defined as sensitivity and awareness, a firm set of psychological traits that is not reflected in behavior. Actions are not masculine or feminine, but approaches to them are masculine or feminine. Humanity exists in a great array of sexual characteristics neither distinguished nor dictated by genitals. Anne Fausto-Sterling supports this concept in explaining the broad spectrum of genders. Nancy Mairs also supports this concept by pointing out and encouraging the psychological traits of sensitivity and awareness in her 14-year-old son. Opposition to this concept is deep-seated, particularly by those who deem femininity to be the opposite of masculinity and those who believe there are certain behaviors that are essentially feminine, and other behaviors that are not. Fortunately, feminists such as Mairs and science readily refute the reasons for confining gender definitions.

Critique of a play

Oscar Wilde wrote this play as a farce in part to poke fun at some of the Victorian attitudes during that era. He also was a gay man in an era when that wasn't totally acceptable, so the play takes on another level of interest because he was punished for his sexual behavior and had to move to Paris to find safe haven. Still, the play stands up well to any criticism because it is wildly absurd, the switching of character identities adds to the absurdity, and in the end everyone discovers who they really are.
