The Female Nurses

The time was 1914, there were no men around due to the war and it all started in a farming village called Nagyrev located along the Tisza River in Hungry; only about 60 miles from Budapest. There was a community of killers in these two places known as the “Wise Women”. These women were really just midwives with a killer’s tenancy. Well it all started during WW1 when they didn’t have hospitals and were in desperate need of midwives. People had there speculation’s and also had names for these wise women.

The names of these women were a little strange and made you wonder why people would still use these midwives after all they’ve heard. One main midwife named Julius Fazekas, was known for helping women get rid of unwanted babies. Although she was technically taking care of people’s medical needs. Fazekas’s partner in crime was known to be a “witch” her real name was Susanna Olah a.k.a “Auntie Susi”. These two women ended up causing major chaos in this town of Nagyrev.

The women soon got used to the fact that there were no men around, and some of them went to the camps where they held the prisoners to settle their sexual desires. They ended up with limited freedoms because of the number of women who did that. By the time the husbands got home their wives refused to do anything with them and the word got to the midwives. They saw a way to deal with this problem.

The midwives began boiling arsenic off of strips of fly paper to sell to the women. They gave to poison to anyone who wanted it, and a lot of prisoners took it. They began calling themselves the “Angels of Nagyrev”.
Soon enough because of the death rate the area became known as the “Murder District”. The women ended up taking it too far. They started to not only poison unwanted spouses but also relatives that were unwanted.

Sometimes the women poisoned one another, not knowing it. When officials questioned

    In Nazi Germany, women had very little rights compared to other women in democratic societies. In a democratic society, women had a less enforced traditional gender roles and had more freedom. During World War 1, women were recruited to work in jobs usually occupied by men. This was because most of the men who occupied that particular job often went to fight in the war, some of these jobs would include conductors, postal workers, police, and firefighters1. In Nazi Germany, women were forced into Hitler’s youth groups, which for girls were known as the Bund Deutscher Madel. This youth group was created to teach girls their future in society, which was to mother more Germans. The youth group emphasized values of obedience, self control, and discipline.…

    According to Person, “the pattern of female collaboration was through sex with the oppressor” (Person 2015, 104). The Nazis were disgusted by the Jews and wanted to obliterate Jewish women’s chances of fertility. As a result, Jewish women were being forced to challenge the horrifying experiences of the concentration camps, which represents an assault on motherhood and sexuality. In the Jewish family, women are responsible for the health and care of their household. In order to portray their roles and duties, Jewish “women participated in the planning and running of the soup kitchen and other aid institutions; however, they were no policy makers. They directed and worked in individual kitchens as cooks, waitresses, [and] cleaning personnel” (Ofer and Weitzman 1998, 158). The Nazis wanted Jewish women to utilize their knowledge of home cooking in the camps and ghettos. Unfortunately, this did not work because “women’s knowledge of home cooking was a limited advantage in running a large soup kitchen” (Ofer and Weitzman 1998, 159). Rather than having women working out in the field or participating in the war, they would have Jewish women participate in domesticity, and at the same time, they were subjugated to the…

    Angels are many times presented as being dressed in white flowing robes with halos and wings. They are usually depicted with long flowing hair and surrounded by bright white light. It is not unusual to see angels presented in movies, television and literature as taking human form and assisting people by performing various supernatural acts, such as flying or performing miracles. Angels are almost always presented as good and peaceful beings having been sent by God to assist humankind. These representations many times do not agree with scripture, but the overwhelming popularity of angels in our culture is undeniable.…

    Sex Killers: A Case Study

    • 1984 Words
    • 8 Pages

    The belief ‘sex killers’ are male territory. Even though there are women out there who have committed similar crimes. No women has fit the exact concept of a ‘sex killer’. A female muderer is often referred to as a ‘sadist’, where as men are sex killers (Cameron and Frazer, 1988, p.23). This is similar to the media coverage of the ‘rippers’ as women are treated differently as it comes down to the patriarchal society before us. There are examples of women in history who had appetites for sex and cruelty as a ‘sex killer’, Cleopatra, Catherine the Great, Countess Bathory, are only some of these women. Cleopatra, Catherine, and the Countess (who bathed in the blood of 80 girls) do not fit in the category of ‘sex killers’ as the knowledge does not fit fully in the mould, they were deemed enthusiasts of witchcraft where as the literature describes sex killers mainly focusing on an ‘object’ instead of particular people and grudges (Cameron and Frazer, 1988, p.23). However, these women murdered a multitude of people, over a period of time, and for their own gratification, therefore they should be considered as ‘sex killers’, another aspect that should be considered, the Countess victims were strangers which is a typical occurrence with ‘sex killers’ (Langvin, 2003, p.366). The language and…

    Reaction to the Nacirema

    I tried reading the rest of the paper while keeping in mind that this was their norm, and I tried not to look down on their beliefs. This helped me to understand why these people go through such awful treatments. What really bothered me though was the fact that the medicine men, and others who held that sort of power, seemed to be taking advantage of the people described. Like how they wouldn’t let anyone into their temple, the latipso, unless they could pay with some sort of gift, and then they must pay again to get let out. What takes place inside the temple sounds like a nightmare. Helpless woman are harassed by the medicine men, and patients are given painful treatments throughout the day. What amazed me the most is that the Nacirema continue to go back to the temple despite the problems there. I admire their faith in the medicine men, but I think it’s unfair that they appear to be getting scammed by…

    + The short story, “No Name Women”, was shocking, horrifying, and almost unfathomable for me.

    Initially the girl child was put to death brutally, being throttled, poisoned or drowned in a bucket of water right after her birth. These had been the common practices followed particularly in the rural areas. However the evil of killing the girl child no longer remained confined to the rural people but equally attracted the urban population too who, despite being educated, seem to show a strong preference for the male child and the subsequent avoidance of the female child. The rapid advancement of science and technology proved a boon for these people as this had made the diabolic slaughter of the female child much easier and more sophisticated…
