Female Circumcision Among the Olinkans
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page research paper that is based on the premise that the author is a nurse who is spending a year as a health practitioner to the Olinkan tribe. The author must state a position relative to the subject of female circumcision, a practice of the Olinkans. The writer gives both sides of this issue, but comes down unequivocally against female circumcision, or as it is more accurately called, female genital mutilation. In making this argument, the writer uses 'Tashi' from Alice Walker's 'Possessing the Secret of Joy' as a case study. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Feminism And Madame de Stael
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. It is quite appropriate to speak of the connection between Madame de Stael and the notion of feminism in nineteenth-century French literature. Indeed, one of the most powerful books on feminist conjecture is that of Corinne, a story Madame de Stael wrote about an aristocratic heroine who is in constant clash with the society around her. This approach to female strength was not a course many writers braved during this time; rather, to put forth the struggles inherent to gender issues was a bold statement about the patriarchal influence of the period. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Feminist Anthropology and Postmodern Criticism
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of feminist anthropology, the approach to anthropology which entails an intent to overcome the traditional male-dominate biases which have previously existed in the field. Presents the work of Sherry B. Ortner as well as numerous other authors to illustrate the premises of feminist anthropology. Points out that even this approach is not without its critics. Cautions that while some in anthropology today seek to take the discipline one more step, to use it as a tool for exposing the factors which result in the world's inequalities, particularly the inequalities between men and women and overcoming those factors, that approach is a distraction and indeed a threat to the traditional intent of the discipline. Concludes that the anthropologist is to observe and record, not to interfere in matters which were in existence long prior to our arrival on the scene. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Fictional Story Set In South Africa
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Attending their junior year in college abroad, Adrienne and Camille chose South Africa as their cultural enlightenment. Indeed, the girls' collective experience with social services afforded them a much better opportunity to apply their academic talents than by choosing a more socially advanced society. Anticipated yet realistic at the same time, both Adrienne and Camille thought they understood the cultural, political and social intensity inherent to South Africa; only after they experienced its profundity firsthand did they actually realize the overwhelming sense of authoritarianism and gender discord. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
