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.

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.

Nien Cheng’s “Life and Death in Shanghai”
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report
discusses the autobiographical account of Nien Cheng’s
experiences during China’s Cultural Revolution. “Life and Death
in Shanghai” by Nien Cheng requires that the reader or student be
particularly aware of the unique nuance of time and place and how
Cheng causes those aspects of the story to be as essential as the
actual characters of the book. Cheng’s crime was that she was
born into a wealthy, land-owning Chinese family. As a result of
her “privileged” background, she was put into solitary
confinement and ordered by Red Guards to confess to the crimes
they had trumped up against her. Quite simply and without much
fanfare . . . she refused. Throughout the book, the reader sees
the honesty, intelligence, and perseverance of one woman in the
face of horrific torture and oppression. Bibliography lists only
the primary source.

Nursing During the Turbulent ‘60s
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page examination of the manner in which nursing changed at the impetus of the feminist movement of the 1960s. Previously relegated to primarily a subservient role in the health care environment and restricted solely to the hospital or doctor’s office, nurses took their lead from the feminist movement to remold their view of themselves as competent professionals. No longer simply puppets of those who had previously held the power and prestige in health care, nurses banded together to make a difference both in the political aspects of healthcare and in nursing theory. Consequently, this time in nursing history was one of the most productive in terms of the degree to which nurses would add to healthcare practice.

Outrageous Acts, Everyday Rebellions
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages. In this paper the
student is to think of an act which in some way makes the world a
better place for women, or even perhaps for one woman. This
outrageous act, as it may be called, will be examined in this
paper as well as the reason the choice was made to take this
action, and the results of the choice. While this is only a
hypothetical example, this excellent model paper discusses an
'outrageous act' which serves to make the world a better place
for at least one person. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
