At the end of the bar a young woman in a short skirt and too much makeup sat alone. Tucker Case sat next to a businessman several stools down (Moore)
¶ … feminists book ISLAND OF THE SEQUINED LOVE NUN Christopher Moore. To, general trend feminism Beyond Conventional Feminism There are a number of reasons why contemporary feminists would find fault with Island of the Sequined Love Nun, a novel published in 1997 by author Christopher Moore which may be considered an example of postmodern literature due to the variety of subjects, cultures, and sexual orientations it deals with (Powell 1)
The pair have been able to exploit the island of Micronesia and aid their health care business by harvesting the organs of the islanders largely on the basis of Beth dressing up as The Sky Priestess, which was the image on the side of the airplane of a World War II veteran who crashed upon the island. What is most significant about The Sky Priestess, of course, is her physical description, which some critics have described, appropriately enough, as "half naked" (Richard)
Accordingly, any dress code that negates such "patriarchal oppression" can be liberating. Western media images (and more generally the capitalist patriarchal system) are apparently key peddlers in the sexist subjugation of women…veils can at times be construed as liberating since some women freely choose to wear these (Saad)

Being treated fairly means receiving equal pay for equal work. Fairness also entails the elimination of the glass ceiling in business and politics, as "a glass ceiling continues to halt the progress of many women who strive to reach top management positions," (Gwynne)
According to the Census Bureau, "For every dollar a man made in 2003, women made 75.5 cents," (Hagenbaugh)
Ginsburg has always been a fan of being vocal and today's Feminists need to be okay with being called a "bitch" as she was called when she was in school. Her answer to that title was, "Better bitch than mouse," and that philosophy says a lot about her Feminism (Rosen, 1993)
Originally created as part of a commission to decorate porcelain plates, the "History Portraits" morphed into something much more personal (Cloutier-Blazzard, 2007) and grand. Yet even as gender theorists wrote about how her work could be viewed as a criticism of the "male-gaze," Sherman admitted that she had never heard of the "male-gaze" and was dissatisfied by "art-talk" (Tomkins, 2000, p
"[footnoteRef:9] What the Chicana feminists strove to do was to disassociate the role of motherhood from any relation to male dominance or female subjectivity and instead promote the mother as an authority in an of herself, with a specifically female-oriented role that could be comprehended and appreciated in its own terms.
