Women's Rights: The Evolution of Women Rights
I am writing about how women rights have evolved through history and what changes have come because of this evolution. I will specifically be looking at what kind of movements pushed the evolution f women rights and how society has reacted. 

1.) Boulding, Elise. The Underside of History : A View of Women through Time. Westview Press, 1976

The Underside of History : A View of Women through Time is about how and where women learned dominance, dimorphism, and sex roles. It also shows and explains how the changing roles of women from Paleolithic times to the present have pushed the women rights movements to new levels.

Elise Boulding was a sociologist, a pacifist feminist, and scholar. This book gives me further knowledge of the repressed and "invisible"lives of women and the conditions women had to endure. I will use this to acknowledge different perspectives and different points of views which were directed towards women throughout history.

2.) Cherif M. Feryal  “Myths About Women's Rights : How, Where, and Why Rights Advance.” The Evolution of Women’s Nationality Rights, Oxford University Press, 2015.

 “Myths About Women's Rights : How, Where, and Why Rights Advance” is about how why women's rights advance in some places but not others. The author as well discusses that culture and religion are the primary barriers to gender equality. 

Feryal M. Cherif is is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Loyola Marymount University. the author in this book shows the conventional wisdom about the role of international norms and culture is usually overstated and sometimes put aside. By using this book as a resource I can incorporate evidence evaluating the different prescriptions for improving women's lives across a broad range of rights.

3.) King, Margaret L. Women of the Renaissance. University of Chicago Press, 1994.

Women of the Renaissance is a feminist study which approach to the understanding of the various roles and genders of Renaissance women and the "thinking" of women.  It also discusses the "familial roles" which are lived out by mothers, daughters, wives, widows, and workers.

Margaret L. King is a graduate from the University of Mississippi in 1971 with a Bachelor of Arts in Education. This book will help me discuss the different perspectives of social, cultural and intelligence and how they have changed from the time of the renaissance to today. It will also help explain the evolution of the position of class that women have moved into and received both positive and negative outcomes.
