The Desire to be Free as Found in Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing the “desire to be free” as found in Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” and Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper”. Writers Kate Chopin and Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote about the oppression of women and the helplessness many women felt within marriage during the late 19th century. Both women wrote of the personal and psychological experiences of the women of the day in which through everyday life, women were mainly identified only as the wives of their husbands and had to defer to their husbands for most if not all decisions. The short stories, Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” and Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” are two examples of the different approaches taken to exemplify women’s desire to be free from the confines of their lives within marriage and the dominance of men in making the decisions. While Chopin’s story tells of one woman’s shift into elation upon the realization that she will be free to make her own decisions because of her husband’s death, Gilman’s work delves deeper into the psychological struggle of a woman confined by her husband for “rest” in a room that only throws her deeper into madness and eventually leads to her finding her own way to release herself.

The Feminist Texts of Maria Irene Fornés
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages. Maria Fornes
is known for her feminist text within the plays she has written.
She is at once witty and shocking, and her works leave the reader
breathless at times, shaken with shock at what has transpired and
yet wanting more. To say that Fornes goes about her craft with a
light touch would be totally incorrect; instead, she goes for the
jolt, the intense emotional turmoil that it takes to open a
viewer's eyes into the world of feminist literary works.

The History of Women’s Suffrage in the United States
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing the history of the women’s suffrage movement in the United States. The women’s suffrage movement within the United States began in earnest in 1848. Reflecting the sentiments of women around the world, organizers of a national convention that year began the process to fight for the right to vote (suffrage) and enfranchisement (the end of slavery) for women. The suffrage movement had two organizations, the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) headed by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the American Women Suffrage Association (AWSA) organized by Lucy Stone and others. The two organizations merged in 1890 which was also the year which also saw women’s rights to vote gradually being accepted across many of the Western states. After a long struggle and witnessing the enfranchisement of women occurring in many other countries, the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution giving women the right to vote was finally passed in 1920.
