Abstract:
The fact that there is no concrete law that forbids women to write doesn’t mean thatwomen are completely free to write. It has remained virtually unchanged since time immemorial that, the writings of women are ‘mere crap.’ This kind of criticism have never stopped women from taking up writing as a passion and profession. Although the women writers are comparatively less acknowledged than the men, they continue to produce various genres of literature. They do it despite a number of hurdles that hinder women. The two major impediments that women face are the financial support a

What keeps the journey going is the coexistence of men and women in a community. A woman can find the best way to define and make her presence feel is by having the equality of access to a leading education, participating in politics, and being empowered. In addition to running her household, pursuing a career, raising her children, etc., she participates in politics to broaden the scope of her social participation.

A society is a group where both men and women co-exist, keeping the ride rolling. The best way for a woman to define her presence is to have equal access to high-quality education, political participation and empowerment.

Fantasies about warrior women circulated in many forms of writing in early modern England: travel narratives such as Sir Walter Ralegh's The Discoverie of Guiana (1595) portray Amazon encounters in the New World; poems like Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene (1596) depict women's skill with a spear; and the plays of Shakespeare, John Fletcher, and others stage the adventurous feats of women on the battlefield.

Across the Romantic era, vagrant women were ubiquitous not only in poetry, children&rsquo;s fiction, novels, and non-fiction, but also on the streets of towns and cities as their population outnumbered that of vagrant males.

Abstract:
This study argues that novels by contemporary women writers, such as Doris Lessing, May Sarton, Barbara Pym and Jenny Diski, through their representation of older female protagonists, create alternative discourses of ageing to those that dominate Western society. By placing these figures at the centre of their narratives, the texts counteract the silence and pejorative stereotyping that routinely surrounds the lives of the aged. The technique of studying literary representations of women is not new; in fact, it is a trusted part of feminist methodology. However, one of the assertions of this d

Similarly, much of the literature on business and entrepreneurship in LMICs is not gender-disaggregated, and this review draws on that literature where gender-disaggregated evidence is not available.
