Abstract:

ABSTRACT This literature review examines the scholarship on women’s ordination across several Christian traditions in the United States from an intersectional feminist perspective. It comments on the problems of centring patriarchal church institutions in these histories, the lack of feminist analysis, and the problem of ‘firsts’. It also includes a case study on women’s ordination in the Methodist movement to demonstrate the erasure of women’s networks and advocacy and the advocacy-and-rejection cycle that women experienced in several denominations. Finally, there is a discussion of women in

Abstract:

Over the past few decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of women in politics in the United States (U.S.), which has gradually enhanced the status and opportunities for women in the political arena. The emergence of this phenomenon means that womens political status has gradually been recognised by society, and womens aspirations for political ambitions have shown a trend of increasing value. However, most of the related literature has adopted the quantitative analysis of the number of womens participation in politics by means of regression equations. This paper will exam

Abstract:

Due to the stereotypes that women are unable to do jobs besides household chores, the people mostly assume that women are unable to work in politics and government as well as men do. This assumption, implicitly, violates human’s right to reach their social welfare. This paper, hence, aims to explore how women are perceived and treated in the government of the United States, specifically in the Congress by analyzing the current situation through literature reading. Based on the historical studies, the authors argue that gender equality has not been applied properly in the United States’ politic

Abstract:

Abstract Gender is a quintessential issue in Asian American literature, since Asian Americans are seen as weak with feminine qualities, according to the Western colonial concept. This paper examines Korean American women’s power through an analysis of Hongyong, the female protagonist in Helie Lee’s Still Life with Rice, who survives Japanese colonization in Korea and the Korean War and finally starts her new life as a Korean American woman in the United States. Hongyong goes beyond the concept of patriarchy in Korea and rescues herself and her family with her intelligence, determination, power

Asian women’s paradoxical position of hypervisbility and invisibility is a result of society caricaturing and fetishizing their sexuality and bodies while simultaneously denying their humanity and personhood. Despite the long history of objectification and fetishization of Asian women in the United States, extant mental health counseling training programs and literature offer limited guidance to counselors on this concern, perpetuating an epistemic lapse in mental health counselors’ competency.

The United States operates the world’s largest refugee resettlement program. However, there is almost no systematic evidence on whether refugees successfully integrate into American society over the long run. We address this gap by drawing on linked administrative data to directly measure a long-term integration outcome: naturalization rates. Assessing the full population of refugees resettled between 2000 and 2010, we find that refugees naturalize at high rates: 66% achieved citizenship by 2015. This rate is substantially higher than among other immigrants who became eligible for citizenship

Abstract:

<p><em>A novel can represent reality. Thus, a character in a novel with his or her complexity, might be a portrait or a representation of a real person. This article discusses representations or images of women in three novels from three different social background. They are Kalau Tak Untung (Selasih, Indonesia), Far From The Madding Crowd (Thomas Hardy, England), and The Great Gatsby (F. Scott Fitzgerald, United States). All of these three novels represent women in both positive and negative images. The positive images are: independent, hard working, rebellious, and futuristic (in

Abstract:

A large literature on feminist theology and philosophy of religion has explored the various ways in which feminism has reshaped religious thought and practice within different faith traditions. This study uses Festinger’s (1965) cognitive dissonance theory and the 2017 Nishma Research Survey of American Modern Orthodox Jews to examine the effect of tension between feminism and Orthodox Judaism on lay men and women. For 14% of Modern Orthodox Jews, issues related to women or women’s roles are what cause them “the most pain or unhappiness” as Orthodox Jews. The paper examines the sociodemographi

Abstract:

Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (KFD), also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is a benign, self-limiting disease that manifests primarily as cervical lymphadenopathy but may include low-grade fever, headache, and fatigue. There is a higher incidence of KFD in women aged 20-35 years and in Asian populations. A PubMed search revealed 590 articles that described KFD. Of these, 22 cases have been fully described in the United States. Ten of the 22 (45%) patients were male and 12 (55%) were female, with 20% Caucasian, 20% Asian American, and the remaining 60% of other ethnic backgrounds. In

Abstract:

This article aims to discover the element of partiality and political representation in women's writings, focusing on authors from the United States and Pakistan. Its goal is the identification of recurring and negligent themes in a profound assessment covering four centuries of women’s narratives and compelling anthologies. The woman literature revolves around women's challenges and their rights. It seems to be chauvinism to ignore other vital themes in literature. Though man is also abused sexually, morally and psychologically in a society being part of a marginalised member of the patriarch

Abstract:

Introduction: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States. Metaplastic breast cancer is characterized by two or more poorly differentiated cellular types, with epithelial or mesenchymal components. Metaplastic breast carcinoma is a rare and aggressive entity, accounting for less than 1% of invasive breast cancers. Hence, there is insignificant literature and research. Few cases are described in the literature. We report a rare case of metaplastic breast carcinoma with squamous and spindle cell differentiation. Case Report: An 82-year-old female was diagnosed

The article deals with the creative contribution of Louisa May Alcott to the Victorian period of American literature and the evolution of interpersonal relationship characteristic of the American middle class. The aim of the paper is to examine the infl uence of sentimental authors on the development of sociocultural life in the United States and their progressive interpretation of the role distribution in the family. In this regard, the article analyses the undying interest in the work of Louisa May Alcott, whose writing absorbed the ideas of sentimentalists as well as the humane impulse of t

Abstract:

Based on participant observation and in-depth interviews with 10 college-level female bodybuilders, this paper focuses on several aspects of female bodybuilding that are underexplored in existing literature, including purposeful gender transgressions, gender attribution, racialized bodies, and the conflation of sex, gender, and sexual preference. We draw on critical feminist theory and the social constructionist perspective to enhance collective understanding of the subversive possibilities emerging from female bodybuilders’ lived experience. Collectively, female bodybuilders’ experiences affe

Abstract:

Sex slavery operated through the comfort women system during World War II has been a historical shame and an inconvenient truth for both the Japanese and the Korean. This study, through Nora Okja Keller’s Comfort Woman, investigates the life of a Korean character forced to become a comfort woman, arguing that domestic patriarchy and colonial patriarchy are the main institutions which transform her into a sex slave. A representation of Korean comfort women, she is exploited by the patriarchal oppression in her family and the Japanese colonial patriarchy. Her body is transformed into a commodity

Abstract:

This paper explores the opening of a discursive space within the etiquette literature in the United States during the 19th century and how women used this space as a vehicle of empowerment. It identifies two major strategies of empowerment. First, the use or appropriation of existing discourses that can help redefine the “other” within an hegemonic space. Second, and more importantly, the transformation of that space in shifting the lines by which differentiation is produced to begin with. Admittedly, these strategies are neither unique nor the most important in the history of women's empowerm
