Purpose and Femininity
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing man’s "oppression" of women based on examples given in three feminist articles. One of those articles describes Georgia O’Keeffe’s disdain of the men who fail to see her paintings of flowers as she sees them. In O’Keeffe’s view, the fault lies with the men, rather than with the artist’s ability to cause her audience to see her flowers from her point of view. The paper labels that failure as lying with the artist, rather than with the audience, and extrapolates O’Keeffe’s experience to corporate America, where the failure of some women to rise to senior management levels is blamed on the glass ceiling, rather than the inherent abilities of the women that have been passed over. Sympathy exists, but only where it is deserved. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
