Sexual Harassment
.... an issue due to the large number of
cases presented. When Anita Hill, law professor at the University of Oklahoma,
brought allegations of sexual Zaccarello 2 harassment against Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas, the whole world started listening. This case was "the
most celebrated sexual harassment case of our time," according to Martha
Chamallas, and "Hill's revelations prompted women to tell about their own
encounters with sexually harassing behavior-both in private and in public."
This case gave women a reason to report sexual harassment, and sexual harassment
would no longer be overlooked. Women would no longer have to .....

Rights Of Egyptian Women
.... court documents not only showed that women were free to take action
with the court, but the documents also show that they frequently won their cases.
They could also enter contracts and travel freely, unescorted, throughout the
state. This is a great contrast to women in Greece, who were required to act
through a male representative. Interestingly, property and its administration
was passed from mother to daughter, matrilineally. The Egyptians relied on
matrilineal heritage, based on the assumption that maternal ancestors are less
disputable than paternal ones. The effect of legal equality in writing and
practice coupled with .....

The Clinton Sex Scandal
.... actual power they can
actually exert. All presidents, at some time or another, became frustrated
at what they perceived as unfair treatment by the press, even while
acknowledging its vital function in a free society, and many presidents
have been a part of a scandal.
The current Presidential scandal with Monica Lewinsky had swept the Nation
overnight. It seems quite impossible to know just how it will all turn out,
and unfair to even speculate, but the media certainly seems to think they
possess that right. It is obvious that this story has changed the face of
journalism, has put online media on the map in a major way, and has .....

The Role Of Women In The Church
.... written
may thus be carefully scrutinized. Such practices may or may not prove sound
after comparison with scripture.
Before we discuss specific issues concerning women in worship, we should
consider principles derived from the relationship of Adam and Eve as described
in Genesis chapter one. The Apostle Paul frequently uses this passage as a
guideline when discussing women and women's issues. Genesis 1 verse 27 states:
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male
and female he created them." Most Commentators agree that man and woman are both
equally a reflection of God's image; the word "man" he .....

Three Contributions Of Chinese Immigrants
.... skin creams and even soft drinks. Also ginseng can be bought
over the counter in drug stores under such names as “Ginkoba” and “Ginsana”. “
Ginkoba” is supposed to increase mental alertness. “Ginsana” is supposed to
increase physical energy.
Tea was first used during the reign of Emperor Shen Nung in about 2737
B.C. This was a very long time ago. It is thought that tea was first cultivated
in China. Then the China tea plant was taken to Japan in about 800A.D. In Japan,
tea was used for medical purposes. When green tea was developed in Chine, tea
became a popular beverage. Tea was introduced into England in about 1660. .....

hatred of Argentinas middle and upper classes@ (19).
Eva grew up to be an intelligent, beautiful, and glamorous teen-ager, who
attracted many men=s attention. Aside from her good looks, Eva had the charm
that could get her all the things she wanted, the character of a woman who never
gave into negative circumstances, and a determination so strong, she found her
way to the balcony of the presidential palace of Argentina. The painful
rejection, and the traumatic events of her father=s funeral, when she and her
family were refused entry by his legal wife, were still in Eva=s mind when she

Sex Discrimination
.... two fictional
characters, Mr. and Mrs. Jones. The Jones's want to go swimming, they get
to the swimming baths where they find that Mrs. Jones is charged an O.A.P.
price while Mr. Jones has to pay the full price even though they are both the
same age. This is because woman become pensioners at the age of sixty
while men cannot gain the benefits until they are sixty five.
Sex discrimination is not only present within the older generation but is also
evident throughout the entire age range. Before legislation was passed in the
1960's most young girls left school after O-levels to receive a strong social
message that their careers .....

Woman's Struggle For Independence
.... and social issues
as long as there opinions weren't very radical. However women were only the
objects in the arts. They were the models and not the creators. They were not
allowed to express themselves but only to be expressed by others. This lead into
the period of the Reformation, women were still viewed as property and the
homemakers. They did not really get there place in society.
The 17th century was the first real growth of the women's movement. Up
until this time women had been in the same category as property or slaves. But
as the French society moved toward revolution women began to speak of the
injustice against t .....

Women's Suffrage
.... evolve a philosophy of their own place in society. When the 15th amendment,
which gave black men the power to vote, was passed women became furious. Julia
Ward Howe said “For the first time, we saw... every Negro man govern every white
woman. This seemed to me intollerable tyranny.”
After the fifteenth amendment was passed, the women's suffrage movement
turned its attention towards gaining the right to vote state by state. Susan B.
Anthony, a leader in the movement, met a wealthy businessman named George
Francis Train while campaigning in Kansas. He offered her the money to launch a
suffrage newspaper. In return he would be .....

Women In Africa
.... they successful?
In several instances women became so angered by their lack of voice,
that they were moved to act. In some of these cases, women were relatively
successful in organizing and mobilizing. The story of the Aba Riots, which is
discussed in both The Warrant Chiefs and African Women, proves this point well.
In Nigeria, in the late 1920's, the Warrant Chiefs wanted to impose a system of
annual taxation. What was so displeasing to the people about the tax was that
it involved a census, and that the money went towards no specific project. The
concept of counting free people was a foreign one to the Igbo. This notion wen .....

Women In Combat
.... forces policies, females are banned from combat jobs
and units, but in the Persian Gulf War females were assigned to battleships,
aircraft carriers, and marine support groups dug into the desert. From their
experience in the Persian Gulf, military women have earned the right to be
treated as equals with men and not as protected individuals.
In spite of their record as able combat personnel, there are laws and
policies that restrict women in the United States Military from serving in
positions that require them to engage in direct combat. Women in the Air Force
and Navy are barred from aircraft and vessels that have a chanc .....

Women As News Anchors
.... profession. I have
read about the incredible ambition of successful females in television news, and
it seems like it takes a special kind of passion to want to keep up in the
business.
I kept my questions in mind when gathering research material. While
focusing on the key questions, I was able to find information that led me to
form answers to them. Christine Craft's biography told of her individual
experience of being fired on the basis of her looks and her age. I realized
from reading her story that she had a "nose for news", a passion for telling it
to the world, and a unique spark that made her a good journalist, yet th .....
