Full textLittle Women and Good Wives is a classic children’s novel published in the late nineteenth century by American writer Louise May Alcott. The book concerns the lives, loves and marriages of four sisters growing up during the American Civil War. Alcott portrays four sisters in the book. They are Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. In this essay, Jo’s characteristics will be compared and contrasted with those of her three sisters. The purpose of this comparison is to demonstrate how Jo shows her non-femininity and to what extent she diverges from the contemporary expectations of women. Furthermore, based on the close reading of the novel and historical research, this essay will discuss whether Jo’s choice of writing, her main meanings of entering the man’s world is realistic.

Este trabalho versa acerca de “Uma História das Mulheres Batistas Soteropolitanas” entre 1930 e 1960. Como sujeitos de nossa pesquisa, estão as mulheres da Comunidade Batista, no bairro operário de Plataforma e as mulheres de classe média-alta e alta da Comunidade Batista Sião, no bairro do Campo Grande. Pretendemos, com este trabalho, fazer um registro de análise histórica e social da participação dessas mulheres na construção do espaço eclesiástico, do lugar que ocupam e de como são forjadas suas prática e representações mediante o discurso religioso da denominação Batista sobre mulheres.

Full textKayser, Barbara J. "Politics or piety, the women of Pakistan." Thesis, Drew University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3615832.
Full textMy dissertation is on how the combination of religious law and constitutional law in Pakistan affects the daily lives of the women living there. The time frame to be discussed is from Pakistan's inception as a country in 1947 through the most prominent regimes that changed the Constitutional law, i.e. to the mid 1980's. During this epoch, Pakistan adopted Shari'a Law (law based on the Islamic faith) into its constitution. By chronicling the historic development of Pakistan's Constitution, I will show a correspondence between the specific laws and amendments with the attrition of women's rights in Pakistan and the deterioration of the quality of their lives. Although, Shari'a Law is based on the teachings of Islam, I contend these laws run contrary to the traditions and directives of the sacred texts, the Qur'an, Hadith (recorded oral traditions), and Sunnah (habits and practices of the Prophet Muhammad). By tracing specific Shari'a laws back to their roots and investigate the circumstances that impact Pakistani women to ascertain if they indeed burden, restrict, and quite possibly, endanger the lives of Pakistani women, and furthermore, violate the principles taught by the Prophet Muhammad, who exhorted to his followers, "Be kind to your women." The Constitution of Pakistan claims it provides equal rights for its citizens by proclaiming all people are equal (Preamble of the Constitution #8). I argue that the oppression of women in Pakistan can be linked directly to the introduction of Shari'a Law into the Pakistani Constitution and Shari'a Law is being used to justify the poor treatment of women, but it is in fact a distortion of the teachings of Islam. Therefore, women's lack of civil rights in Pakistan is attributable to male chauvinism that is based in culture, rather than religion. What can be done to reconcile the gender discrimination in Shari'a Law with parity for all citizens stated by the Constitution?

Full textA presente proposta de investigação, enquadra-se no âmbito das políticas e narrativas reformistas associadas ao Islão, mais precisamente, do modo como o Estado concebe a necessidade de reforma religiosa, o papel que é reservado às mulheres nesse processo e a importância da educação na contenção de movimentos radicais islâmicos e da própria emancipação da mulher. Para tal, tomo como objeto de estudo o caso de Marrocos e as murshidat. Analisa-se o tema referente à questão das murshidat segundo o paradigma crítico, através de uma perspetiva desconstrutora de um padrão dominante no que respeita aos líderes espirituais do Islão e também da influência do Estado na reforma religiosa em Marrocos. Para tal, recorro à metodologia qualitativa, designadamente, a utilização de entrevistas, à etnografia virtual/digital que são complementadas com a análise documental e pesquisa bibliográfica. Coloco o Estado no centro desta análise, demarcando-se o trabalho da abordagem já amplamente explorada, do estudo da mulher islâmica a partir de um paradigma de submissão e até do ativismo das mulheres islâmicas, focando a sua própria agência e a importância da atuação das ONGs feministas no processo de emancipação das mulheres islâmicas. Privilegio o papel que foi concedido às murshidat, na luta contra o terrorismo e na luta por um Islão moderado, uma narrativa de certa forma singular, do Estado marroquino e do Rei Mohamed VI que alterou um padrão dominante no que respeita aos líderes espirituais marroquinos, construindo uma nova narrativa sobre o Islão e, paralelamente, dá-se atenção à relação da prática religiosa e do género, pretendendo-se assim perceber a sua relação com a inclusão das mulheres nos assuntos religiosos. Entende-se assim que o Islão é uma componente essencial da identidade marroquina e consequentemente das mulheres, que com as particularidades religiosas e culturais, têm a sua própria forma de posicionamento na sociedade marroquina.
The present research proposal for this project is intended to be within the framework of the reformist policies and narratives associated with Islam, namely, how the State conceives the need for religious reform, the role reserved for women in this process and the importance of education in containing radical Islamic movements and the emancipation of women. For this, I take as object of study the case of Morocco and the murshidat. It is intended to analyze the present theme concerning the issue of murshidat according to the critical paradigm, through a desconstructive perspective of dominant pattern regarding the spiritual leaders of Islam and also the influence of the state on religious reform in Morocco. For this, I use the qualitative methodology, namely the use of interviews, the virtual/ digital ethnography, that it is complemented with the documentary analysis and bibliographic research. I place the state at the center of this analysis by demarcating the project of the already widely explored approach, the study of Islamic women from a paradigm of submission and even the activism of Islamic women, focusing on their own agency and the importance of the role of feminists NGOs in the process of emancipation of Islamic women. The fundamental role of murshidat in the fight against terrorism and in the struggle for a moderate Islam, a somewhat unique crusade from the Moroccan state and King Mohammed VI, that altered a dominant standard for Moroccan spiritual leaders, constructing a new narrative on Islam and in parallel, on the relationship of religious practice and gender, in order to understand its relation to the inclusion of women in religious affairs. It is understood that Islam is an essential component of Moroccan identity and consequently of women, who with their religious and cultural particularities have their own form of positioning in Moroccan society.
