In the conception of the division of gender roles into separate spheres, women's place was in the private sphere -- family life and the home. Men's place was in the public sphere -- in politics, in the economic world which was becoming increasingly separate from home life as the Industrial Revolution progressed, in public social and cultural activity.

Along this class there was a discussion about this famous artists. We saw a few of her master pieces in which she portrays women liberated trough sexuality and how this  should be seen as a natural process.
Being quite honest, the theme behind these painting weren't of my complete appreciation. My opinion because in this case i consider women to be much more than their sexuality. I think women's  liberation goes beyond physical sense, it refers to being able to educate themselves, becoming empowered, brave, without hiding. And this does involve sexual matters but it doesn't revolve around it.  In mi opinion, the best ways of women empowering is when other women are inspired by the greatness of other women, helping and guiding each other to do so. Academically this destroys labels and due to this it can help develop a better understanding of literary pieces.
These concepts, consider, could be put at use in a better manner and thus be used to encourage women around the world and in the Costarican  society.

The article on discovery deals with the concept of immigration. Throughout this article there are many ideas developed in which men grew as if they were in women´s positions.
T-he article is of much use when growing academically because one can see the struggle many immigrants suffer to become who they are but also it teaches us to be accepting with other cultures. Costa Rica has a very interesting ambiance when referring to  immigrants because the Costarican society is quick to accept every other culture and country but their own, and even it might be said that it extended to disregarding the Nicaraguan culture as well.
the best way to become a better society is by acceptance, tolerance and equality.

When we had this class there were various ideas with which we developed the class in an interesting matter.

as it is know worldwide there are many ways in which people are discriminated. Feminism deals with many types of discrimination because of gender and in this class it was clearly shown that feminism also deals with racism. Racism and feminism are two concepts that are interrelated because now a days there are many women being judged by their gender and skin color, and thus marginalizing them and not giving them the respect they deserve.  This class was very helpful in my academic development because it teaches me to enjoy diversity in literature,people and even class rooms. Another important issue is that in Costa Rica there are quite many ways in which women are objectified , abused and discriminated.

this topic is one of my favorite to research so there are many ways in which feminism and racism can be joint to perfection and thus be helpful for society.

Vagina Monologues was an interesting class even though personally I didn't like the literature content.
This monologs referred to the liberation of women by claiming back the concept of the vagina and what it represents for women around the world. When reading the entire literary work it is described how women's vagina can become a symbol of freedom.
The monolog wasn't my favorite piece of work because of its content, it referred to the liberation but only through one of the female's bodies parts. although I understand this reproductive organ is just a representation, it seems to be that most women, when referring to freedom, the first principle that comes to mind, is sex which for me should have less influence when speaking about both men and women. This literary piece compares to Costa Rican society because as years pass many women are becoming more active in the role of representing themselves as they are and loving that unique being as well.
I think this work might help us develop in an academic way because it can bring about the idea of accepting one's self.

Another important aspect regarding  feminism is the concepts which are involved in it.
Feminist

The term “feminist” is a political label that indicates support for the women’s movement that emerged in the late 1960’s. Giving this concept, feminist criticism is a political discourse against patriarchy and sexism. It is important to signal that the essence of politics is power, and the duty of feminist critics is to expose male dominance over females. Feminists are pluralistic in their choice of literary theories. This leads to the term “appropriation” that refers to the process of appropriating a text to the feminist cause. In the end, origin does not matter as long as its use and effects can be properly appropriated.

Female

The term “female” refers to the biological characteristics that make someone female. Since feminism is a political commitment, being female does not guarantee feminist affiliation. All the same, it cannot be assumed that all books written by women talk about anti-patriarchal commitment. It is often assumed that describing “typical” women’s experiences is a feminist act, and this leads to the mistaken belief in experience as the essence of feminism. Having the same experience as someone else does not assure a similar political reasoning.

Feminine

Femininity is a pattern of sexuality and behavior imposed by cultural and social norms. Patriarchal oppression tries to impose several characteristics of femininity on all women to make them believe that the chosen standards for femininity are natural. In this way, patriarchy labels women who do not follow the standard as “unnatural”.  Feminists have taken the task of differentiating these two terms because being born female does not mean that they will be feminine. Feminists do not want to create a new set of characteristics what women should have even if they are to be strong, creative and loving because they would be doing the same patriarchy does, imposing a pattern to follow.
Binary oppositions: Female vs. male and Feminine vs. Masculine

All the differences among these concepts were presented through a presentation in which the different concepts by which women are represented are not tied to a specific gender and does not identify womanness in an individual.

I this Class  we  analyzed the story of "Mrs. Dalloway" and how it develops as a feminist writing.

along the story of Mrs. Dalloway there are very interesting main points covered,for instance, how through the oxymoron of Clarissa who represents each person's insecurities and through parties and companionship people can find themselves in a depressing stage.  This novel is also an example of women's writing because one of the main characteristics of women’s writing is the idea that women’s minds are always linked to many other ideas, and develop in a more complex way than men. Along the story, for most people, it is difficult to follow Clarissa’s train of thought but for many that's just what it feels like to be a woman, this means, being multifaceted and multitaskers. Another important thought is that the protagonist fights, in a way, to be the person she wants to be, even if this doesn’t seem to go along with society’s idea. Mrs. Dalloway evolves differently to other but in a unique and bold way. This idea presented before is just a brush of the main reason by which this story is considered as women’s writing.
Another important idea in the story is that Clarissa becomes a mirror of our modern society in which people surround themselves with parties, activities, and many other people so that loneliness and depression can stay hidden.
This story helps me develop academically because it brings about the idea of depth within people and literary works. Mrs. Dalloway is a rich story with which we can reflect but also we can learn so much from her portrayal. the many ideas,concepts, and images shown in the story help us students grow and change mindsets.

hIn this class we learned a lot of different concepts and redefine others.

first, the short stories discussed in class were very interesting, bringing in the idea of changing one's name to become a new creation, divided from man and developing as a separate individual.
Along the class, we took the time to understand the meaning of people's creations and their specific names. My favorite literature peace of the class was, "She unnames them" ; because I learned quite much about myself. I developed the idea in me that my identity goes far beyond my name or gender but it comes from the essence of my own being. that idea portrayed throughout the class compared to costa Rican reality is very different. In this country, we have become people who love their labels and due to this, many people do not truly understand who they are.
also when doing further investigation about the author I realized that Ursula Le Guin is the other of one of my favorite short stories of all times, " The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas"
The following video is the story through audio, it also has a brief explanation at the bottom that I found quite interesting because as explained during class, the story " She unnames Them", Ursula Le Guin makes a critique about naming or labeling by making a reference to the Genesis in the Bible, Where God names Adam and Eve and gives them a particular role within society.

If you're familiar with the Bible, you'll know that in Genesis 2:19-20, God creates the animals, and Adam chooses their names: "And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam would call every living creature, that was the name thereof.

in this our first class we learned a series of interesting things. The main development of the class was reflected through understanding concept and redefining whichever concept was misused. We learned what was real feminism and were also confronted about how women are position in the world due to the patriarchal society. the most important part of this first class is that we learned that for many years women have been subjected to what others feel to be better for them and how women have taken the task of liberating themselves to become their true selves, not developing to be something to please someone else. another interesting practice that we developed was that we all shared anecdotes Costarrican reality in which patriarchy was reflected and even though people didn't realize the effects of patriarchy has damaged our concept or reality and self-worth.
Costa Rica is a country that is full of misogyny and inequality, but along the course it is shown how this country can change and how equality could be developed correctly.
