The prominence of intrinsic meaning and value exerted by equality of thought and equality of personal dignity on free development goals of American society can ensure further enhancement of the equality of women's social rights and an increasingly rising new- level of social democratic development,expressing the features of the society and times embodied by American literalistic literary thought.展开更多

Therefore, this paper proposes that exploring diplomatic implications of "women's work" provides new insights into cultural values of the Four Freedomsmmajor pillars supporting modern American liberalism. This paper foregrounds the domestic and diplomatic significance of "women's work" by analyzing women's contributions as laborers at home, in the labor force, and in American consumer society. As American women participated in the paid labor force and took up most consumptive activities, women outside America also worked hard to provide food and care for families. This paper argues that a more comprehensive definition of"women's work" is not only indispensable for the development of American industry, consumer society, and the expansion of marketplace, but integrates a system of dualisms separating wage labor and housework, or divisions between spheres of men and women. Moreover, investigations into hidden values of women's work alleviate worries arising from information revolution and economic globalization. Moreover, placing women's work in perspective enables diplomats to see through factors leading to international hostilities, to reduce conflicts arising from information revolution and economic globalization, and to understand America's soft power pertinently.展开更多

In the "Introduction", the writer defines magical realism and discusses its connections to Women's Studies. The next section, "The Bitter Butter Knife", discusses the protagonist's (Ruth Puttermesser) boring existence and pathetic attempts to connect to her Jewish ancestry. In "The Problematic Paradise", the author focuses on Puttermesser's attempts to take control of her life by creating the first female golem and the ups and downs of paradise. This author argues that the female protagonist of the novel utilizes magical realism as a tool of empowerment over personal oppression.展开更多

More than 100 international and domestic specialists and workers who deal with women’s issues attended. At the conference, the Women’s Research Institute of the All-China Women’s Federation disclosed the results of an investigation about the status of women in China, which was launched in the early 1990s on a nationwide scale. The results showed that China’s economic reform has greatly affected women. As a result, many researchers who began their research by considering China’s present economic situation, tried to determine the influences the展开更多
