Abstract
This paper discusses how Margaret Walker, in her novel "Jubilee", illustrates the differences in the ways slaveholders and slaves in America perceived God. The paper explains that, in the book, the same God who justified slavery for white slave owners was also the God who provided hope for freedom to black slaves. Despite these separations, though, Walker brings to life a common bond that unites slaves and slaveholders - a fundamental belief in the Judeo-Christian God. The paper then explains that by setting up two contrary views of God, Walker is able to prime the reader for one theology to prevail. In the end, Walker demonstrates how her God dispels any claim that slavery is just on the grounds of the Bible.
From the Paper
"It was been famously said that God is whatever you want Him out to be. Whether, personable, omnipotent, or humorous, the interpretation of God lies greatly in the eye of the beholder. In Jubilee, Walker demonstrates this concept by showing how despite the fact that slaves obtained religion from their masters, both groups ultimately held two irreconcilably different views of God. To the whites, God was "a just and righteous God" who endowed them the right to own slaves. The white preacher reiterates that slaves are a mere object possession, saying, "Remember, slaves are your sacred property. They are committed to you as a sacred trust from God. Read in His Holy Word where he tells you that your bondservants are yours and you are responsible for them," (pg. 122). This divine revelation was the driving force behind Dutton's and many other slave owners' justification for owning slaves. "

Abstract
This paper chronicles the tumultuous life of Margaret Tudor, Queen Regent of Scotland, sister of the notorious Henry VIII, and grandmother of Mary, Queen of Scots. Although it does touch on the political issues of her day, the author focuses more on Margaret's personal life, including her three marriages, divorce and her struggle to hold her power in a man?s world.
From the Paper
"The word queen conjures up an image of beautiful clothes, a doting king, happiness and an idle lifestyle. The life of Margaret Tudor, Queen of Scotland, shatters these myths. Widowed at a young age, she was left to act as regent for her infant son in a climate of political turmoil and dangerous power struggles. As a member of ?the weaker sex?, Margaret was not taken seriously and was expected to sit back and let others govern Scotland in her name. Margaret refused to do so, and suffered for it. Not even her brother, Henry VIII of England, would aid her unless she agreed to be his pawn. Margaret also flouted convention by marrying for love, not once, but twice, and by divorcing her second husband in a time when marriage was a sacred lifelong bond no matter it?s problems. "

Margaret Walker: A Creative Survivor, 2004.
An analysis of the novel, "Jubilee", by Margaret Walker.
1,249 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 61.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how "Jubilee" was the crowning achievement of Margaret Walker?s career. A sprawling novel about Civil War-era blacks, the novel is simultaneously a preservation of Walker?s family history and an historically accurate portrayal of slavery life for many blacks of the times. In particular, the novel is a testament to Walker as a creative survivor, which she discusses in her essay, ?How I Wrote 'Jubilee'.? It explores how Margaret Walker can be considered a creative survivor in three ways. First, through her dedication and diligence, she kept the "Jubilee" project alive over a span of many years. Secondly, "Jubilee" is the representation of the survival of Walker?s heritage; the novel is her creative way of preserving, not only the history of her family, but also the history of black Americans in the face of historical whitewashing. Finally, in ?How I Wrote Jubilee?, Walker shows how important the creative process is to her own personal survival; it is the lens through which she sees the world and without her creative outlets, she herself could not survive.
From the Paper
"Walker as a creative survivor is also evident in the fact that the project itself is a way to preserve the author?s own history and that of her family. From the beginning, the novel was a labor of love for Walker and her inspiration to write it had more to do with her love for her family than anything else. ?Most of my life I have been involved with writing this story about my great-grandmother, and even if Jubilee were never considered an artistic or commercial success I would still be happy just to have finished it? (Walker 50). The story of the novel was intensely personal, and Walker believed it was her duty to preserve this oral history that had been passed down from her great-grandmother."

Abstract
This paper briefly examines Margaret Newman's history, including the development of her health as expanding consciousness theory. The paper also examines the basic tenets of the theory and discusses two examples of expanding consciousness in nursing practice. Finally, the paper compares and contrasts Newman's theory with that of Martha Rogers' unitary theory.
Table of Contents:
Margaret Newman
The Theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness
A Critique of Newman's Theory
Newman's Theory and Rogers' Unitary Theory
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Newman's theory is not particularly accessible to most people in or out of the nursing profession. Neither is it particularly congruent with reality. Referring back to McKenna, this theory does not appear to be a nursing theory as such, because it does not treat nursing as a unique profession (1997, p. 234). McKenna discusses the analysis of 62 nursing theories in terms of how their internal validity would stand up to testing. Of the 62 theories, McKenna indicates that only nine reached adequate levels of empirical testing. In the case of a grand theory such as Newman's empirical testing is difficult at best; it would seem unlikely that sufficient testing could be done to test its validity. In summation, then, while Newman's abstract theory may produce some basis for discussion, as a nursing theory its practical use is negligible."

Abstract
This paper looks at how Margaret Sanger?s dedication to birth control as a woman?s right, as depicted in Ellen Chesler?s biography, "Woman of Valor: Margaret Sanger and the Birth Control Movement in America", allies Sanger as an early radical feminist. It examines the personal, professional and political/intellectual experiences and friendships that have shaped and changed these positions over her life, with a focus on her work as a nurse and her relationship with Emma Goldman. Finally, it shows how despite these changing positions, a constant belief throughout her life was that women should have access to birth controlt her life.
From the Paper
"Sanger?s first foray into feminism was through the radical bohemian culture flourishing in pre-war Greenwich Village. Margaret?s husband William Sanger was a Socialist and Margaret became involved with the party?s early efforts to mobilize women members, particularly from women laboring in the garment industry. When the Socialist Party embraced the cause of women?s suffrage, Margaret was put in charge of promoting the vote for women. Records from 1911 show that she participated in distributing leaflets and pamphlets, agitating for the right to vote. However, Margaret became dissatisfied with the focus on suffrage. Many aspects of her personal life and her work as a visiting nurse convinced her that the Socialist focus on suffrage was ?a low priority in the larger struggle of working women for economic and social justice? (59)."

1,092 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 55.95
»

Abstract
This paper deals with the life and works of Margaret Atwood, a Canadian author, who had a significant impact on various forms of literature; both internationally and in her home country. Her works include numerous novels, poems, and short stories on various themes and she is viewed by many as a champion of Canadian literature. The paper relates that, through her writing, Atwood has tackled many topics that are social or political in nature and that many of Atwood's works are decidedly feminist.
From the Paper
"One of the more notable works along this line is The Handmaid's Tale, published in 1985. Set in Massachusetts, this novel deals with the subjugation of women in a futuristic, dystopian society. Christianity has taken over and a repressive social order is instituted. In a throw-back to archaic times, women are relegated to a position of insignificance apart from the purpose of bearing children. Dissidents of all varieties are routinely publicly executed, infertile women are banished to barely inhabitable lands, and all divorces are made retroactively void.
As the Christian Bible is peppered with sexist notions that women are second-class in nature, Atwood's depiction of a future that is devoid of secular control does not seem too far-fetched; though religion is certainly not the only aspect she draws attention to. Throughout the book, many issues are tackled. Generic fascism is explored to many ends, though mostly in a manner dealing with the subjugation of women. Methods of social control are present in almost every facet; something which Atwood draws attention to with the treatment of dissidents by the book's authorities; especially so with women who are controlled through various means such as color-coding their clothing to indicate a woman's status and class."

Margaret Atwood's "Surfacing", 2008.
An analysis of the theme of silence in Margaret Atwood's "Surfacing".
1,214 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 60.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the symbolic aspects of Margaret Atwood's, "Surfacing" and argues that silence is something that pervades the entire novel and keeps people from saying what needs to be said. The paper also examines how the narrator's strange relationship with Joe reveals her inability to communicate and how she views him with silent disdain, never deigning to sit down with him to see if there is a way for that sentiment to be turned into something more positive.
From the Paper
"The symbolism of the novel's setting is unmistakable. The story begins with the narrator returning to the remote northern Quebec hinterland to seek her father, who is missing and with whom the narrator is estranged. The opening line, "I can't believe I'm on this road again," (Atwood, 3) gains in significance when the full nature of the narrator's relationship with her dad is revealed. Quite simply, she had thought the tie between them had been severed permanently - only now she is returning once more to seek out the man she had, for all intents and purposes, left behind years earlier.

Margaret Thatcher, 2004.

Abstract
This paper deals with Margaret Thatcher's policies implemented in Britain from the 1970's until the 1990's. The paper examines how it changed Britain's political consensus and British society. It studies the consequences of the Iron Lady's strong and radical decisions and leadership. Comparisons with previous conservative governments and Hayek's monetarism are also discussed.
From the Paper
"Coming from a relatively modest social background - she was the daughter of a provincial grocer - Margaret Thatcher became in 1979 the first woman elected to the highest governing function of a country in the developed world. Known as the Iron Lady - an appellation coming from Radio Moscow and which stuck - she then implemented a radical economic and political policy, summarised by the term of "Thatcherism". Her agenda and ideology can be described as "radical", as it drastically broke from the so-called "Post-war consensus" which characterized Britain's governing tradition since 1945. By its nearly authoritarian way of governing, Margaret Thatcher appears as the electroshock which woke Britain up from the depressed torpor it was plunged into for a century, even if the effects of its years at 10 Downing Street must be carefully judged. This essay will observe first that, though Thatcherism, to a certain extent, re-activates and continues certain traditions of the Conservative Party, it constitutes mostly a new perspective and strategy for the Tories as well as a radical fracture from Britain's post-war economical, political and ideological consensus."

Abstract
This paper is a brief discussion of the life and career of modern British author Margaret Drabble. Her childhood relationships with her mother and siblings, education, marriage and children as well as her career and writing style are surveyed. Her relationships with her mother and sisters are discussed in relationship to her writing and the relevance they have had on her career.
From the Paper
"British author Margaret Drabble has written numerous well-loved novels in the last 66 years of her life. She has won awards for her outstanding writing, and has been internationally recognized as a writer and critic. More than just "women's novels," Drabble's work focuses on interpersonal dynamics and relationships that are drawn from her own experiences of life and work. Much of Drabble's work is especially related to her femininity and experiences as a woman, especially those of wife, daughter and mother. As she herself said, "I suppose I am obsessed by the woman's role as mother and I think perhaps my mother very heavily influenced me, not always in a very happy way". The realism of these common themes in her books is extremely interesting to other women."

Margaret Sanger, 2004.
A biography of the life of Margaret Sanger and her fight for legalized birth control.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the life, work, and leadership of Margaret Sanger, an advocate for women?s rights and, in particular, reproductive rights. It looks at her selfless fight to legalize contraception in an era in which many were ready to hear such a message, but many others were ardently opposed to her work and to the possibility that women might, indeed, gain greater rights in American society.
From the Paper
"Sanger believed that it was the right of everyone to have enough information about birth control to make their own decisions about the morality and practicality of using it and began a magazine titled The Woman Rebel that attacked the restrictions placed on the circulation of information about contraception by the an 1873 piece of federal legislation called the Comstock Law. This highly restrictive law made it a crime to distribute any device or medicine that could be used as a contraceptive or abortificient or any information about birth control or abortion or even to cite in print the name of any sexually transmitted disease. The law also banned doctors and nurses from providing such information to their patients."

The following discussion provides an analysis of the work of Margaret Fell, who spent much of her time promoting the causes and beliefs of the Quaker faith.
