Mary Todd Lincoln
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Considered to be one of the most colorful -- if not misunderstood -- of all presidential first ladies, Mary Todd Lincoln stood tall for what she believed and ended up paying a high price throughout her entire life for her outspoken and opinionated manner. Indeed, she was instrumental in implementing much positive growth within the country's infrastructure, such as bringing to light the atrocity of slavery, however, she was not that well received from her husband's political constituency on account of her sometimes erratic behavior. Still, it can be argued that Mary Todd Lincoln helped considerably when it came to establishing the United States of America as it exists in contemporary times. The writer discusses the various aspects of the first lady's life. Annotated bibliography lists 10 sources.

Mary Wilkins Freeman
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Feminist and ghost story writer Mary Wilkins Freeman, a child of poverty, grew up surrounded by the overwhelming sense of failure that permeated from her long-suffering father, whose bouts with depression – brought on by harrowing Civil War episodes – only exacerbated his inability to sustain his family's needs. Ever resourceful, Mary did her best to alleviate the pressure at home by painting and teaching, however, the "family's economic decline" (McFadden, 2000) was in such a fierce downward spiral that even her best attempts were far too inadequate. Writing became her economic mainstay, and she began earning money for her literary efforts as early as 1881; still, this was not to be a help to her destitute family, all of who died during the following two years. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Molly O'Neill's "A Surgeon's War On Breast Cancer" - Summary/Critique
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Never complacent or willing to take the easy way out of a difficult situation, Dr. Susan Love has mustered all her internal fortitude and placed it squarely upon finding a cause for breast cancer; in the interim, she explains her philosophy and "walks her talk" as Molly O'Neill shadows her for a typical 13-hour day in the life of a one-woman public advocate. "A Day with Susan Love; A Surgeon's War on Breast Cancer" is not merely a regurgitation of one doctor's quest to make a difference in the health and wellbeing of human beings but rather an insightful glance into the unrelenting dedication of a woman who is using her knowledge and influence to effect change now, starting with dispelling inaccurate information routinely dispensed by the medical field. No additional sources cited.

National Museum Of Women In The Arts
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Creating an institution such as the National Museum of Women in the Arts is bound to bring both critics and supporters alike, inasmuch as there will be those whose opposition would stem from the fact that the museum's focal point was only that of female artists. Backers of such a project, however, would support it for that very reason, being that women have typically been overlooked in an historical context when it has come to artistic recognition. The writer discusses the benefits and drawbacks of constructing the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
