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.

Media Coverage of the 2012
Media Coverage of the 2012 Presidential Election ONE: Introduction The diverse and sometimes ugly stories, attacks and sundry reports that have been published in print and broadcast in the media (including electronic media) thus far in the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election campaign reflect just how divided the nation is. These stories and ads in fact say as much about the sorry moral state of America – and about how out-of-control the issue of politically motivated money is – as they do about the campaign or the candidates. It is the opinion of this writer that there has rarely been a time in recent American history when conservatives and progressives have been so bitterly divided, and have attacked one another with such meanness and fierce antipathy – in particular the reference is to the conservative attacks against progressives – and never has their been an election where millions of dollars flow into campaign coffers from corporations and individuals with zero accountability as to the source. Some suggest that because President Barack Obama is an African American, those opposed to him have been particularly virulent in their attacks. Others suggest this election is really about two competing ideologies – those who are conservative (they are anti-abortion and anti-gay rights and doubt the science of global warming and evolution) versus those who are progressive (they tend to be pro-choice, support same-sex marriage and accept science as reported by bona fide empirically-driven researchers). These issues have been simmering for years and are just now coming to a head with Obama, the Black president, symbolizing for the right wing, the Tea Party, the GOP and conservative Christians (including evangelicals) all that is wrong with America. This election process is bringing bitterly opposing social and ideological divisions into the public view through the media, which itself is taking sides, as expected, but in ways far more potentially harmful to democratic ideals. This paper reviews and provides critical analysis of the media's role – and the role of money interests in the contest between Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama.
