    Rebecca Ropers-Huilman and Kelly T. Winters discuss how a lack of understanding about the bias towards the male gender in education may correlate to the underrepresentation of explicitly feminist research in popular higher education academic journals. They define feminism as a theory on currently existing injustices with a focus on the analysis of gender. Ropers-Huilman and Winters point out that gendered identities are ascribed, but they develop differently in various cultures that have their own definitions on what is means to be women or men. When people speak for women, Ropers-Huilman and Winters argue that they assume that all women have gone through similar experiences when that is not the case. Because of this assumption, women are unable to develop their full potential despite having something truly valuable to contribute to society.…

    Linda Nochlin in “Lost and Found: Once More the Fallen Woman” points out how “fallen” in the male world means heroic inspiration for the most part but for women the term is applied to sexual activity out of wedlock, whether or not it is for her gain. It was often incorporated into writers and social critics’ work. This particular view was fascinating to nineteenth-century artists (in the middle years) especially in England. The theme was undertaken by Dante Gabriel Rossetti whose interest was so great almost to the point of obsession. He devoted a number of his poems and pictorial works to the subject. The painting, Found (unfinished), was devoted to the subject, occupied his time from 1853 until one year before he died. It was a work he could never put aside or resolve. Rossetti describes the picture to Holman Hunt on January 30, 1855 seemingly straight forward stating that it takes place in London at a street at dawn with lamps still lit. A driver left his cart in the middle of the street and goes after a girl who has passed him wondering the streets. When he comes up to her and he recognizes her she immediately sinks onto her knees in shame against the wall of a raised churchyard in the foreground. The male stands and holds her hands, which he had to take deliberately, which he holds in bewilderment and half guarding her from self-hurt. Rossetti states that these are the main things in the picture which are to be called “Found” and for which his sister Maria has found him a lovely motto from Jeremiah that states. “I remember Thee, the kindness of youth, the love of thine espousals.” The complete implications and significance of the work and its relationships are “anything but straight forward”. This can be best understood best through examining 19th Century perspectives. Rossetti makes ideological assumptions in his attempt to invent the secular image of the fallen woman. He, and many others who…

    As an alumna of prominent educational institutions – Ladies’ College and Mount Holyoke College – I consider myself fortunate to be a part of a community of women who are invested in the personal and professional development of each other. Over the years, the resources afforded to me through these institutions have played a critical role in supporting my intellectual and personal growth. At Mount Holyoke College, conversations with fellow students enabled me to develop a cosmopolitan view of the world; be it through debates on intersectional feminism at the dinner table or collaborations to form social movements on campus, my interactions with this intellectual community of women have been influential in shaping my identity as a scholar and a citizen of the world. Moreover, the enduring relationships I have formed with alumnae, have informed my belief on the importance of female mentorship. These relationships’ have cemented my conviction of the need to build stronger connections between students and alumnae and prompted my active engagement in the Sri Lankan chapter of the Mount Holyoke Alumnae group, as well as the Ladies’ College Old Girl Association. My role as assistant coach for the Ladies’ College debate team is reflective of…

    I'd like to say that I have always been interested in Women's and Gender studies, that since an early age that my superiors had encouraged me to explore those aspects of my personality and to be open to others variations in gender, sexuality, and so forth. The truth is that for most of my life my parents had sheltered me from those realities of the world, and it wasn't until I started high school that I discovered facets of gender, sexuality, and injustice to which I had not been previously exposed. As I increased my online presence in those years, I began to discover the reality of gender and racial inequality, the LGBTQIA+ community, and other—often controversial—social institutions.…

    We have heard them all. African Americans are lazy and incompetent workers. Hispanics are all drug-dealers. The Irish are heavy drinkers. These are all stereotypes. Stereotyping is a problem that refuses to go away. It recurs, across various contexts and discourses, as a divisive and troubling issue, and remains a central source of contention in the politics of representation. Many stereotypes exist: different ones towards racial groups, women, the elderly, the mentally ill, fat people, homosexuals, the physically handicapped, and individuals with AIDS, to name just a few. Stereotypes can have negative outcomes both for the individuals who are the target of prejudice and for society at large.…
