Sample answer by another student:

In order to start finding topics for my research paper, I first looked up “historical societies with female dominance” in order to find something that will grasp my interest. Google didn’t help much in terms of scholarly paper but it did bring about possible “societies” that I can research. For example, website named “Quora” enlightened me with some societies with female ruling that exists or have existed around the world. It provided me with a brief description of how their societies are structured and why their societal norms were able to give women power. Therefore, I decided to do my research on Mosuoa’s of china.

For my primary research on scholarly and credible resources I am planning on using the schools library website: https://www.library.ucla.edu/search . I remember getting a lesson on how to efficiently use the school’s research functions but I cannot access the vpn at the moment and thus cannot play around with it to refresh my memory. But my plan once I am able to access the school’s data base is to take my subject of research and dissect into IEMP models of mann. Then I will research critical parts of the subject added with imperative elements of the possible topic. For example ” Mosuoa + culture + geography + female power” and so, on. Upon researching for viability for the paper, of whether this particular society can be researched or not, I used Wikipedia to source the age of this society. And I noticed that there isn’t much research on its historical records.

My question is : Is Mosuoan women a viable research topic in how their culture and geography shaped their matriarchial society?

This week you will begin researching potential topics of interest for your final project. If you do not know where to start, consult the list of possible research prompts below. Perform a series of searches using online databases and the library catalogue in order to generate a list of potential sources to evaluate. Think about what primary sources evidence exists to explore your topic, as well as how that evidence has been interpreted by others. Select one of the topics that you are most interested and list five sources that you think would be appropriate to consult further. Also, share your research tips with your peers: What databases do you like to use? Which journals did you come across that looked promising? What problems did you encounter? What did you find to be most successful? In your response to a peer, provide some potential questions they might want to explore to help narrow their topic and see if you can help them locate an additional two sources. Possible Research Prompts Feel free to pursue any of the following prompts for your research paper or come up with your own topic and have it approved by your TA. You can also build off the ideas in these prompts by changing out specific cultures/women. 1. Compare and contrast Hatshepsut's power methodology with Cleopatra's, explaining any similarities/differences. Include discussion of ideological, economic, political, military and sexual power. 2. Compare and contrast female power in Greece and Persia, explaining any similarities/differences. Use IEMP(S) as a guide for your answer. 3. Ancient Rome and China were part of two imperial systems that included women in their power structures. How did women exercise power in each system? How are these systems different from one another? Why? 4. How might an Egyptian female gain royal power in the context of dynastic succession? 5. How did particular religious systems reflect the social structure of a given culture, and how did that accommodate or hinder women's access to power? 6. Why do law codes, religious morals, and social practices often place severe constraints on female sexuality? 7. How might the advent of monotheism have restricted female power, especially religious power? 8. Compare and contrast women's access to power in two ancient cultures, analyzing the similarity/difference through an examination of one of the following: political structure, law codes, religious systems, etc. 9. Compare and contrast two powerful women from the ancient world, analyzing their power strategies, the social systems in which they gained that power, explaining any similarities/differences. 10. How does geography have an impact on women's access to power?
