/in /by

If art lacks a clear definition, what criteria are used to determine what a work of art is? Please look at several works on any museum website to discuss what constitutes “art.” Some major museums include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, or National Gallery of Art, or consider finding a local museum. The permanent collection is normally under the Collections link, but feel free to explore the entire website for your selection.

Choose three writers from the Middle Ages to the end of the 1600s and examine the ways religion and the church intersect their lives. They may be writers who follow the dominant religion or find themselves at odds with their society. Consider the ways religion shapes them, shapes their voice, and determines their paths as writers and as women. In what ways are their lives transformed by their religion? In what ways are they empowered by their religious beliefs when compared to other women of the time?

Set them into their context culturally speaking and demonstrate the conditions under which they were operating. How do these women view themselves? How are they viewed by those around them? Be sure to build your argument using specific quotes from the primary text.

Choose three writers who redefine womanhood by fighting in male terms in a male world

Choose three writers who redefine womanhood by fighting in male terms in a male world. We have read the words of women who fought back or who assumed male robes, so to speak, to engage in a male world, be it on the battlefield or elsewhere. Queen Elizabeth I, for example, addresses her troops on the battlefield, using language to appeal to that audience; Anne Askew engages the language of warfare to describe her spiritual battle. Rachel Speght is undaunted by the gauntlet laid down by Joseph Swetnam�s misogyny: she confronts him blow for blow; and, well, Juliana Berners is Juliana Berners. She�s got feminist cloutChoose three writers who redefine womanhood by fighting in male terms in a male world, operating in her own world! There are countless examples.
