Women in World History Parts One and Two::

Part One :

of the Essay is titled “Talk Back to Aristotle.” In this part of the essay you are asked to describe the views held by Aristotle and other men such as Demosthenes, Hipponax and Hyperides that attempt to prove women’s inferiority at all levels. You are then asked to challenge the misogynist views of these men by describing other women we have studied such as the “badass” goddesses and the women and goddesses in The Epic of Gilgamesh. Your goal here is to create a counter-narrative to the image of women promulgated by Aristotle and other philosophers. Students can also use the writings of Gerda Lerner on patriarchy and the story of the Rape Lucretia in their essay.

Part Two "

of the essay requires you to choose women from the First and Second wave of the feminist movement whom you admire most and whom you believe contributed the most to the women’s movement. You must identify three women from the first wave, i.e., the right to vote movement, and three from the second wave of feminist action. You can use only the Modern History Sourcebook (on-line), the handouts given to the students by the professor and The Essential Feminist Reader by Estelle B. Friedman.

To access texts in the Modern History Sourcebook for the First Wave of Feminism, do the following: Once you are on the Sourcebook, click on Liberalism and scroll down and click on Feminism.

Organizing the Essay::

1. The paper must be typed on a computer with one-inch margins and double spaced between lines. 2 pages Each page of the project should be numbered preferably at the bottom center of the page.

2. When quoting from the philosophers or other sources, give the name of the philosopher followed by the quote in parentheses. For example, Aristotle said, “Women are defective by nature.”

3. Students cannot use sources other than those stated here and the use of outside sources will be penalized with the drop of one grade .

supposed to strip their cloths shamelessly to show the shepherded their nakedness and lie with
him. He did not spare the wives of the noble men, or the virgin or any woman he converted. He
was to sleep with whoever he wished to. “His lust leaves no virgin to her lover, neither a worriers
daughter, nor a wife of the noble, yet this is the shepherded of the city; wise, comely and
resolute. In the same narration, Gilgamesh had a mother.
Hamurabi also has his share on the opinion about women. He had declared laws that were
protective of women from abusive men, but which also made women inferior. His laws mention
that a woman who lives with his father and has not known another man, the man should be
charged a guilty and the woman shall be set free. If a married woman is found sleeping with
another man, both shall be thrown to the river. He goes on to say that a woman who has been
