A Girl in America represents a woman's fight in world that is created in the image of men. Within each artifact viewers will observe the push for equality and the difficultly in doing so. Our society is formulated to benefit white males. No individual that falls outside these parameters is considered to live a life in which they are not fighting against societal norms. Women live in the shadows of men and it is considered to be a major conflict has been raising concerns for centuries. Although these predetermined ideas have been challenged, these standards are still an idea that woman are continuously fighting to break away from. Throughout this project ideas regarding the past and present will be represented or order to percieve the progress of this ongoing movement and progressions that leading figures in our society, both past and present, have put forth. By presenting these figures, it will allow viewers to analyze past events, movements, and effects these individuals opened upon the modern world. Throughout my presentation questions will be raised regarding the tasks that are still required in order achieve equality amongst both genders. The incorporation of both historical figures as well as modern-day aspects of the humanities allows viewers to have their own opinions regarding these issues and how they perceive different situations of injustice. When looking at the exhibition, viewers will enter the perspective of a woman living within the United States and how society ultimately expects woman to act according to predetermined societal standards. These standards often make it difficult for a woman to feel as if they can live their life freely. Constantly women are pressured to act a certain way and are simply expected to accept their fate and to conform to what is expected of them. These ideas are slowly changing due to the beginning of these movements and the shift to a society that is more accepting of all. Although change within society has occurred, there are still many steps that are needed in order to fully take action in order to form a more accepting society. In doing so, the aspects that are expected of both men and women will be eliminated or to a point where they are significantly diminished.  Hopefully within the near future these aspects are recognized and acted upon.

On June fourth nineteen nineteen Congress proposed an amendment which guaranteed woman the right to vote. The ninetenth  amendment was ratified on August eighteenth nineteen twenty. This amendment guaranteed woman the right to vote within the United States. Although the passage of this amendment only took a year, this was an ongoing battle that woman had to fight for decades to uphold. Beginning in the eighteen hundreds woman began to picket and petition their thoughts regarding their right to vote. These speakers only began the movement that established an ongoing battle for centuries. Supporters of the suffrage movement often faced with physical abuse and trauma due to the severe tactics of this movement . The resistance to this cause was so severe that often individuals were placed in jail in the command of government officials. In the year nineteen sixteen all major feminist organizations were behind the amendment and in the year nineteen eighteen, President Wilson changed his stance regarding woman's rights which significantly shifted. The following year the House of Representatives approved the amendment and the Senate followed two weeks later. Tennessee was the thirty sixth state to ratify the amendment and was considered to be the the final obstacle that was required for woman too legally be able to vote. The ratification of three fourths of the states was needed in order to ensure the passage of this amendment.

I created this piece that represents the pressures girls face within their everyday life. Within my piece, woman are forced to wear a mask and are pressured to act a certain way in order to conform to societal norms. The girl represented within the image feels pressured by society to be poised and perfect. Because of these pressures woman feel as if they cannot be themselves and that they are unable to freely act in society. The girl within the image looks in the mirror and although she looking at herself she is unable to truly view her own reflection. This shows how society is blinded but unrealistic standards in which that we have simply conformed to. All in all although these emotions are ones that all girls have, society disregarding ones true emotions due to the standards we hold for woman.

"'I don't know what's worse,' Hailey says. 'The fact that they're going soft on them because they're girls, or that the girls are letting them go soft of them'" (Thomas 106).
The notion that woman are considered to be "soft" or "weak" are common stereotypes within our society. Although these stereotypes are distorted, it is a common reality and believed amongst both the male and female genders. In doing so, woman are unable to work towards their greatest potential. These ideas hinder the actions of a person to a point where they are unable to be themselves.

"Wozniacki (though there are a number of ways to interpret her actions- playfully mocking of a peer, imitation of the mimicking antics of the tennis player known as the joker, Novak Djokovic) finally gives the people what they have wanted all along by embodying Serena's attributes while leaving Serena's 'angry n*gger exterior' behind" (Rankine 36).

The author raises concerns regarding the stereotypical appearance a women. When another female let alone a teammate mocks the appearance of a woman, the overall unification amongst women to fight against this same cause is altered. These actions negatively affect the self confidence and actions of that woman.

"Rapes: eighty percent of women and girls who cross Mexico to get to the U.S. border are raped on the way. This situation is so common that most of them take contraceptive precautions as they begin the journey north (Luiselli 25-26).
Women travel across Mexico in order to escape the pressures of sex trafficking and sexual abuse present within their countries. The treatment and abuse women face only put them farther down in the hierarchy of justices. The woman in these situations attempt to leave a country in which they have been mistreated, only to be sent back to the country in which the abuse occurred. The limited time these individuals have within the United States creates many pressures in attempt to accumulate evidence. If these individuals are sent back to their countries, the cycle of abuse only continues .

The disregard that our society has for women and how women are viewed in our society largely have to due with the injustices that are present within a woman's everyday life. Author Jane Caro argues that for all the experiences that a woman in society endures, there is only one day a year in which they are celebrated. The disconnection our society holds toward woman and mothers greatly shows where women are held within societal standards. Society has forced women to stay in the shadows when in reality they should be viewed as equals. These views cause woman to be under appreciated and overlooked in times of need and distress. Mothers in particular endure the on going stress of life and due to this constant pressure are influenced to act in a particular fashion. In doing so, mothers are harshly judged and hardly appreciated in society.

How regularly it rolls around - the one day of the year when we offer an off-hand, mostly self-interested, sentimentalised 'thank you' to our creators - aka our mothers.

I am on the record (in this very publication, in fact) as a hater of Mother's Day. Not a hater of mothers themselves, of course, being one, but of the absurdity of their so-called special day. Just calling it 'special' is a bit of a wake-up call.

I will never forget the late, great disability activist and comedian Stella Young saying once when someone talked in a smiley voice about people with 'special' needs; "You know what 'special', means, don't you? A little bit shit."

I hate the sickly-sweet, patronising tone we take about mothers around Mother's Day, as if by giving birth to children we have somehow become quasi-children ourselves.

Yet there is nothing sentimental, pretty or fluffy about motherhood. It is a dirty, earthy, messy business from beginning to end; sperm, blood, shit, vernix, meconium, mysterious 'waters', colostrum, breast-milk, mucous, snot, tears, vomit - you name it, mothers either excrete it themselves or must clean it up when excreted by others.

It was Simone de Beauvoir's 'Second Sex' that opened my eyes to the fact that far from venerating mothers, we secretly despise the animal nature of giving birth. The only mother celebrated by Christianity, for example, is a virgin - isolated from messy, beastly (literally) sex. Way to make sure no other actual mother ever felt good about themselves.

Female bodies - particularly when they do what nature designed them to do - and conceive, gestate, birth and feed human young give the lie to the idea that humans are created in the image of the divine.

On the contrary, human reproduction, including sex, reminds us that we are animals, specifically mammals - a kind of brainy ape. We are not special or different. Like every other living creature, we are born, we live, we reproduce, and we die.

Women have borne the burden (if you will excuse the expression) of embodying this annoying and ego-deflating reminder ever since men invented patriarchal religions. Perhaps it is one reason why we have been so universally accorded lesser status by such religious traditions, or as de Beauvoir eloquently expressed it, second place.

Perhaps that is also why there remains such implacable taboos around female reproduction and bodily functions. Why normal activities such as breastfeeding and menstruation still evoke feelings of disgust and a desire to keep them both out of sight and out of mind.

Perhaps it is also why the most unspeakable word in the English language is a word for female genitalia. Why is the word cunt deemed so disgusting? Half the human population have one and the vast majority of us entered the world through one, yet this four-letter word has acquired an almost mystical power to shock.

It is the hypocrisy of it that fuels my resistance to Mother's Day. Just as I think a cheap bottle of perfume (if I hear Cate Blanchett say 'Si' one more time while pulling a face that looks like she's trying not to fart, I will explode), a pair of fluffy slippers or - worst of all - a household gadget is no recompense for the unrelenting work, care and effort of mothering, so I do not believe for a moment that we really respect mothers or the work they do and I don't think we ever have.

Far from it. We take mothers for granted and hardly notice the work they do. We don't pay them for their work and we directly penalise them in the long-term for shouldering the lion's share of caring for others.

We charge them a motza for childcare and structure the tax system to make it uneconomical for them to return to paid work. Despite the fact that women have given birth to every tax payer who has ever lived (as well as being tax payers themselves) we seem to begrudge any expenditure from the public purse which might make their lives easier.

Mother's Day? Don't make me laugh. We need mother's lives to be understood and taken seriously in a way they never have been for the full 365 days a year. Otherwise we will continue to have generation after generation of women - particularly those who have been mothers - becoming the fast growing group among the homeless as they grow old.

Throughout the article, the author raises concerns regarding terms used by several individuals the author interviewed. These terms contribute to the power male pronouns hold within our society. On the other hand, also shows how  pronouns indicated for women do not hold the same power. Examples throughout the article demonstrate the power male pronouns hold over female pronouns and the difficulty some have reading the word she in front of the word president. This complication may indicate whether or not people within our country may be willing to vote for a woman in the next presidential election. There has been a natural progression, which has served as women’s oppression in todays society. Due to the topics discussed within the article, it shows how our country still is in the works of progress and the time it will take in order to do so.

A new study, which found that Americans were reluctant to use the word "she" to describe a hypothetical president, highlights the sneaky ways language illuminates bias.

It was a blip of a moment during the Democratic debate last week, one perhaps overshadowed by a long discussion of the prospect of a female president. Responding to a question about climate change, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts said, "I will do everything a president can do all by herself on the first day."

All by herself. Did you clock the use of that word?

A study released this month shows that you did - and that, in fact, it may have cost you a third of a second in reading time just now.

Her. It's a three-letter pronoun that, despite the seemingly endless debate over whether a woman can become president, feels relatively benign. But what if its use, or an unconscious aversion to its use, had some small power to influence voter perception? Could something as simple as a pronoun reflect, or even affect, the way voters understand power?

That's the question raised by the research, conducted by cognitive scientists and linguists at M.I.T., the University of Potsdam and the University of California, San Diego, who surveyed people during the run-up to the 2016 election. Wanting to understand how world events might influence language, the researchers hypothesized that the possibility a woman would be elected president at that time might override the implicit bias people had toward referring to the president as "he."

But what they found was that Americans - even young, self-identified Democratic women who believed Hillary Clinton would win - were reluctant to use "she" even in the context of a hypothetical president.

"There seemed to be a real bias against referring to the next president as 'she,'" said Roger Levy, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at M.I.T. and one of the authors of the study.

When the researchers watched subjects in a reading setting - they were asked to read a short passage about the next president, pressing a button on a screen to reveal each word of the sentence - their bias was even more pronounced: The word "she," when referring to the future president, made people cognitively stumble, leading to a "considerable disruption" in reading time, said Titus von der Malsburg, another author of the study and a linguist at the University of Potsdam, in Germany.

"People had difficulties reading 'she' even if the text had previously used 'she,' showing how persistent and deeply ingrained this bias is," he said.

So could struggling to say or read the word "she" in the context of a president affect our willingness to vote for a woman?

"That's of course the million-dollar question," said Dr. von der Malsburg.

He noted that if people gravitated toward male language when talking about presidents, that could indirectly contribute to a culture in which women were not seen as typical candidates.

"And that, in turn, would likely influence election outcomes because women would have to do extra work to convince voters that they can do the job," he said.

When it comes to women in politics - and specifically, women in the presidency - often lurking behind language are unconscious assumptions about women in power.

"We are uneasy with the president as 'she' because encountering it forces us to have in mind a new conception of 'president,'" the linguist Robin Lakoff said.

Dr. Lakoff, whose book "Language and Woman's Place" helped create the field of gender linguistics in the 1970s, said that language tended to reflect the beliefs of a particular moment in time.

But it can also shape them.

Research has found that the use of the pronoun "he" can create a male bias in readers, that countries with gendered language have higher gender inequality and that even subtly sexist language may influence voters' likelihood of supporting a particular candidate.

In recent years, some governments and organizations have started paying more attention to the power of words, taking steps to update or replace gendered terms.

In 2013, Washington State joined Florida and Minnesota in combing through its state codes and statutes to adjust terms like "ombudsman" (now " ombuds") to be gender neutral. As Liz Watson, then senior counsel at the National Women's Law Center, said at the time: "Words matter. Words help shape our perceptions about what opportunities are available to women and men."

Administrators at Yale announced in 2017 that they would replace the words "freshman" and "upperclassman" with "first-year" and "upper-level" students, joining several other universities that have informally made the change. And the singular "they" - increasingly popular as both as substitute for "he or she" and as a gender-neutral pronoun for those who identify as nonbinary - was recently declared the " Word of the Decade " by the American Dialect Society.

That would seem like progress, said the historian Barbara J. Berg. Yet when it comes to the halls of power, she said, the masculine "remains the default in our language."

It is popular these days to tell the story of Abigail Adams, wife of the founding father John, who urged her husband in a letter in 1776 to "remember the ladies." Lesser known is that his reply, in a letter back, called her request "saucy." (The word "she," of course, does not appear anywhere in the Declaration of Independence, nor does the word "woman.")

And while, over the years, words like "mailman," "policeman" and "stewardess" have been replaced with terms like "mail carrier," "police officer" and "flight attendant," there are still plenty of phrases for which "he" connotes power. Think "manning the command post," "maestro" or even "guy" as a way to describe expertise. "As in, 'He's a stats guy' or 'He's a policy guy,'" said Philip N. Cohen, a sociologist at the University of Maryland.

The 2018 midterm elections broke all sorts of records - and a historic number of women ran for office and won - and yet they also provided ample opportunity to hear (and see) the phrase "freshman congresswoman." Doesn't it sound sort of funny?

Deborah Tannen, a linguist at Georgetown University, described how she had recently spoken with a group of female judges, some of whom recalled being referred to as "sir" when on the bench. Presumably, Dr. Tannen said, the speakers were nervous - and "sir" was an attempt to show respect.

"'Sir' is associated with respect to an extent that 'ma'am' is not," Dr. Tannen said, noting that she, too, had occasionally stumbled over such words.

Once, she recalled, at an event in which Michelle Obama was speaking, a friend remarked that "Dr. Biden" would also be in attendance.

"I thought to myself, 'Oh, I didn't know Joe Biden had a Ph.D.,'" she said. "And of course it was his wife, who I had met, and who I knew had a Ph.D. So even I do it, Dr. Tannen."

And then there's "Madam." During the 1970s, feminists fought for the adoption of a female equivalent of "Mr." - one that did not denote marital status - and were largely successful with the honorific "Ms." But male presidents in the United States are often addressed as "Mr. President," while a woman - if the way we refer to cabinet secretaries is any indication - would quite likely be "Madam President."

"'Madam' could be a term of respect, but it's also the head of a brothel," said Dr. Berg, the historian. "So it's like this constant subtle reminder of a woman's status."

But a new breed of candidates may be flipping that script.

During the recent Democratic debate, in addition to Ms. Warren's use of "herself" in reference to the next president on more than one occasion, Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota said in her closing statement, "We need a candidate who is actually going to bring people with her."

Senator Kamala Harris of California, who dropped out of the race late last year, often did the same when she was running. As California's first female attorney general, she sifted through the language that was written into the law - statutes referring to the attorney general as "he" or "his" - and changed them.

"I've always been very aware that when it comes to women holding leadership roles, we are sometimes asking people to see what they have not seen before," Ms. Harris said in an email. "As our government becomes more reflective of the people it represents and the voices at the table become more diverse, it is important for us to really check how we are creating and supporting an inclusive environment - and a big part of that is about how we use language."

Of course, one might argue there's something of a feedback loop: The language reflects the culture. The culture won't change until there is a winning candidate who upends the old biases. But those running for that spot may be impeded by the incessant talking about gender.

The researchers say the United Kingdom may provide an encouraging case study.

In 2017, they replicated the study there, in the lead-up to an election to determine the next prime minister.

Theresa May was prime minister at the time and was expected to win - but she was not the first woman to hold that post. (That was Margaret Thatcher.)

When referring to the next prime minister, the British study participants were more likely to use the pronoun "she" than "he."

The Seneca Falls Convention was an event that took place form July 19th- 20th in 1848. This event took place in Seneca Falls New York and started the woman's suffrage movement within the United States. Two leading figures within the  convention were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. Both of these woman took place in the Anti-Slavery Convention in 1840 and are considered to be two strong feminist leaders. The Declaration of Sentiments was read at the Convention and stated the grievances demands in which these woman rightly deserved. At the Convention twelve resolutions were passed and were designed to initiate certain rights and privileges that woman were denied throughout this time within history. The ninth resolution stated the right for woman to vote and many supporters of the woman's suffrage movement withdrew their support due to this resolution.

This podcast obtains different figures within society and allows them to share their experiences regarding the injustices they face within their industries. This podcasts focuses upon the idea of toxic masculinity and the battle for dominance that is so often occurring within our society. These celebrities often share the insecurities of men and how their actions somewhat alter how they are treated in society. These insecurities often are due to the predetermined behaviors of the male gender. Today, individuals are beginning to rise against these concerns and to dispute for equality amongst men. For those in society whom are privileged, the rise of equality feels to be both a burden and a pressure.

Toxic masculinity is the result of a culture that perpetuates stereotypes which place men in a position of power and dominance over everyone else while simultaneously telling them that sharing their emotions is a sign of weakness. This concept has been ingrained in our social ecosystems forever, but we are finally able to call it out for what it is. Actor and creator of the I Weigh social media campaign, Jameela Jamil, speaks with author and HarpersBAZAAR.com political contributor, Jennifer Ashley Wright, to discuss cancel culture, making mistakes, and why we need to move on from machismo heroes like James Bond and John Wayne.

Hosted by MJ Rodriguez, Dare I Say is a podcast from HarpersBAZAAR.com and Edit Audio Inc. that sits in on unfiltered conversations between the most influential women of our time. They are daring to make the difference we deserve.s

Artist Frida Kahlo was best known for constructing self portraits that represent the pain and suffering women have faced within a time where rights were not guaranteed. As a feminist artist, Kahlo vividly challenged social normalities, the idea of physical beauty as well as the power  women held within society. Throughout the artists representation, the portrait alludes to restrains that women are held too and the emotional distress society has caused amongst these individuals. The artist portrayed the concept of vulnerability while also juggling ideas of empowerment and self sufficiency. The expressions shown on the faces of the individual challenged common beliefs during this time primarily due to the fact that it was not how woman were commonly portrayed. These ideas expressed the importance of the female body, in acceptance of all body types, while also expressing the importance of the spirit and mind.

Emily Dickinson expresses the confinement of society and the tight grasp of social orders and laws  amongst women during this time. The repression expressed within the poem explains how society often  withholds the true thoughts of woman in order to keep them within their grasps. Within the poem Dickinson expresses how society no longer has control over her and that within her own thoughts she is able to break away from social order and is able to express her emotions within her work. The author implies that society is unable to hold her primarily due to the fact that it is unjust. Although this piece was written in 1862 the author releases herself and considers herself of be one with a world that has not yet accepted her as a whole.

Within the media and everyday life, the idea of being young and beautiful is a stress that society has caused women to face. Lana Del Rey expresses her concern of maintaining love once a person's beauty is no longer prevalent. This causes people to wonder whether that love will fade once one begins to grow old. Television shows and movies do not help but rather hinder the empowerment of woman by regularly displaying young actors and actresses who would be considered attractive within today's society. The representation of these false ideas as a whole creates unrealistic standards and pressures for women and ultimately lower the self esteem of women who do not fit these standards.

The representation of having your own self confidence and the means in order to uplift and fight for oneself is one of the main ideas that author Maya Angelou exhibited. Within the poem the author represents how ones self esteem will allow  them to perservere through the injustices within daily life. Although the author faces injustices due to her gender and race, the idea of rising to the occasion and fighting against these prejudices is an major idea that is being portrayed. In order to do so, one needs to accept their differences and their qualities and learn to value themselves. One should not have to hide who they are in order to please others. In society all should be accepted for who they are and should fight for the inalienable rights that they are guaranteed.

SAYGRACE's song represents the conflict that women face when they fall to the control of a man. This song was originally written by Lesley Gore in 1963 describing the struggles of overcoming this conflict and finding ones own individuality. This version of the song puts a modern twist to ideas that were prevalent during this time. It also represents how these ideas are still occurring in today's society, even though these movements began several decades ago. The artist expresses the liberating feelings of being able to make your own choices and to be your own person. The idea that one does not rely on their significant other and that all women are self suficent is a growing concept that is beginning to change within this current era.
