Reading Rosario Ferre's “ The Youngest Doll” states that women were treated like objects in 1970s Puerto Rico. Women have been oppressed and mistreated for the most parts in history that has been observed. The fight is still going on for equality, but back in the 1970s things were different and not the best for women's rights, although they were better than the years before that. In the story, as the reader reads, we are made to sympathize with the youngest as She is forced to sit outside so the doctor could show her off. ‘Each day he made her sit out on the balcony so that passersby would be sure to see that he had married into high society”(Ferre).
Kenneth Bancroft Clark and Mamie Phipps Clark were most well-known for their experiments in the 1940’s using dolls to study children’s ideas, attitudes and opinions about race. The doll experiment proved that the black children preferred the white dolls over the black dolls and that showed how insecure they felt about their color. They felt that the white were beautiful while the black were ugly. In 2005, 17-year-old film student, Kiri Davis, of Manhattan’s Urban Academy duplicated the doll experiment to see how much, if anything had changed regarding children’s perceptions when it comes to skin color and value but the results were still the same. (The Black Institute) “Black” was the opposite of white and proud of it.

In a few days, children dressed like pirates, princesses, ghouls, and little monsters will be knocking on doors requesting goodies and several other goodies. Yet just before Halloween begins, you can delight the kids in your community by teaming up with several moms and dads and arranging a Halloween scavenger quest.
Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen was highly criticized for undeniably demonstrating woman’s issues in the 19th century. While the play doesn’t change setting much at all, Ibsen clearly focuses in on the characterization of three insightful characters: Mrs. Linde, Nora, and Helmer. Mrs. Linde is a minor character; however, that doesn’t alter her effect on the play. She provides the mold for the perfect, idealized wife. Nora, the main character, develops rapidly in the play, and her character is a stark contrast to Mrs. Linde.
Impact of Valley of the Dolls in the ‘ 60s The 1960s was a decade of change for all Americans, especially women.
