Although women haven’t usually been in a position of power but woman have done great things throughout history even though people might haven’t even noticed what they have done until Empress Theodora and Queen Elizabeth changed it forever by doing something very important Empress Theodora was one who impacted her empire by doing something very important. One way she impacted her empire was when she made the speech for justinin not too leave. That impacted them because when she made the speech justinian stayed to fight and they won(Almanac p27). It was important for him to stay because if he wouldn’t have stayed the whole empire would have been gone(Almanac p27). Another way was when she got married with justinian because when they
Given the oppressive rule of the Taliban, how could women survive without men in their family? The book The Other Side of the Sky by Farah Ahmedi and Tamim Ansary, answers that question by the journey of Farah and her mother. Their journey goes from Afghanistan all the way to America.

The way that Hatsheput ruled alone reminded me of Queen Elizabeth I, but with different gender views in the different societies. Amazingly, it's fascinating that Egyptian society treated women almost as equals with freedoms that women in other cultures didn't have like property owning and divorce (as it details in Chapter 2, p.g. 42). However, regardless of these beliefs, Hatsheput still dealt with people who disliked her rule. Conclusively, I got the idea that these people that disliked her not just for her gender being in ruling, but because the Egyptians believed that a household, domestic activities and marriage were only an equal balance between women and men (P.g.
This quote compares her to the Golden Girl which she is to be known throughout the plot. She is
She spends her days waiting on a hero like Lancelot to come sweep her off her feet and return her to her kingdom. Its as if herself and other women in the story are not intelligent enough to think on their own and save themselves. Nonetheless, the mere fact that she is “in distress” and “kept away” seems to make her all the more
She avenges her son's death instead of indulging in mourning and somehow she is deemed as the villain instead of a warrior of her own clan. Perhaps this is mainly because she is a female in a germanic warrior culture that is a patriarchy masculine society that she cannot be viewed as a warrior but rather as an outcast and a
Queen Hildeburh failed at this exact role and acted as a less significant character who simply did not even reach her expected ideal. Overall, I am led to believe that the poet aimed to depict females as having the same potential as males in a properly functioning civilization. Rather than being bound by what certain Germanic ideals see women as, the poet of this epic is saying that it is normal for women to participate in traditionally viewed masculine roles. Instead of having the actions of Grendel’s mother be surprising, the ideals imposed by society for men and women should not limit someone’s perception of a

Staging Gender in Ramlila of Ramnagar Anita Singh Ramlila (literally “Rama’s play”) is a popular living traditional performance based on the epic Ramayana. The Ramayana (despite the definite article) is not a ‘single book but a story and a tradition of storytelling’ (Lutgendorf, The Oral Tradition and the Many ‘Ramayanas’). The Ramayaṇa and its performance practice Ramlila have been popular for almost two epochs and can be seen as elements in the continuing formation of cultures across the vast ethnically, culturally, linguistically, politically, religiously and geographically diverse continent of south Asia. Although the primary tale of the tribulations of Rama and Sita remain quite the same in most tellings, bards and storytellers have inserted their own perception in their
Women in Mahabharata and Today’s Society Literature reflects the norms, condition, and culture of a society, and when it comes to “The Mahabharata”, an epic which is said to be a collection of stories taken over a certain period, certainly reflects the then society to a great extent. Generally, the authorship of “The Mahabharata (The Stories of the Descendants of Bharata)” is attributed to sage Vyasa. However, it was composed over many years and today’s Mahabharata is an edition of many a men. According to Monier Williams, “it is not one poem, but a compilation of many poems, not a Kavya by one author, but an Itihasa by many authors (Draupadi of Mahabharat: History of Women Empowerment, 230).” Many attempts has been taken till date to reveal the composition period of this epic and history behind it as it is granted as one of the most important scriptures from the view of World History which can give us more clear ideas of ancient Indian society.
