The “Fruit” Of Success: Christina Rossetti’S “Goblin Market” As An Allegory Of The 19th Century Literary Marketplace, Priyodarshini Ghosh
The “Fruit” Of Success: Christina Rossetti’S “Goblin Market” As An Allegory Of The 19th Century Literary Marketplace, Priyodarshini Ghosh
Criterion: A Journal of Literary Criticism
Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market” is probably her most critically acclaimed literary masterpiece. It has been accepted undoubtedly as an allegory of something, but critics have not been able to come to a unanimous conclusion as to what. Some have tried to establish it as a Christian allegory of Fall and Redemption, while others as an allegory of sexual temptation. Certain critics have hinted that this poem could be an allegory of the literary marketplace during the 19th century, which was wholly dominated by men, women’s entry into that marketplace being either restricted or marked by insurmountable obstacles. Following the …
A Feminist Icon Or A Homicidal Coward: Medea’S Revenge On Patriarchy, Beyza Ertugrul
A Feminist Icon Or A Homicidal Coward: Medea’S Revenge On Patriarchy, Beyza Ertugrul
Criterion: A Journal of Literary Criticism
Medea, the alleged epitome of sophistication, does not deserve her title of the flawless feminist icon as she is praised to be. For context, Euripides’ Medea, first performed in 431 BC, portrays a young sorceress whose abusive husband abandons her for another woman and who takes revenge by murdering her own children to spite him. Throughout the tragedy, Medea speaks out on gender inequality, and by definition, such uncommon and advanced statements can be described by the modern term of feminism as the “belief in and advocacy of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes” (Merriam-Webster). Especially …
Havens And Covens: Pregnancy, Witchcraft, And Female Power In Cotton Mather’S “Retired Elizabeth”, Brittney A. Hatchett
Havens And Covens: Pregnancy, Witchcraft, And Female Power In Cotton Mather’S “Retired Elizabeth”, Brittney A. Hatchett
Criterion: A Journal of Literary Criticism
Over the decades, scholars have been holding two adjacent conversations about witchcraft and gender in Cotton Mather’s works that surprisingly have not been put in dialogue. On the one hand, they have examined Mather’s witchcraft ideology and motivations for involving himself in the Salem witch trials. On the other hand, scholars have discussed how Mather seeks to exert control over women spiritually and physically. However, no one has yet explored how these conversations might converge. I suggest that we can see how Mather intertwines discourses of witchcraft and gender in the section titled “Retired Elizabeth” in The Angel of Bethesda. …
Henrietta Maria: Royalist Women’S Representations Of The French Catholic Queen, Kim Hansen
Henrietta Maria: Royalist Women’S Representations Of The French Catholic Queen, Kim Hansen
Criterion: A Journal of Literary Criticism
By the mid-15th century, the royal marriage of King Charles and Queen Henrietta Maria incited enough conflict to spark civil war, as the English struggled to reconcile between the long-established image of female English domesticity and a pervasive cultural expectation for equality between marriage partners. Any form of equality in the royal marriage called the absolute power of the king into question, as it would imply that his actions had included her direct involvement, and even at times were more representative of her, not his, views. Letters captured at the Battle of Naseby confirmed fears that the queen …
Contraceptive Use, Intent, And Autonomy By Age In Nigeria, Johanna Esplin Hoffart
Contraceptive Use, Intent, And Autonomy By Age In Nigeria, Johanna Esplin Hoffart
AWE (A Woman’s Experience)
Although extant literature has documented low contraceptive use among Nigerian women and discussed potential factors contributing to these low rates ("World Population Sheet 2020"), the difference between contraceptive use and intention has not been adequately explored. Much of the focus in research and family planning programs and interventions has been placed on teenagers, leading to lack of understanding regarding the experience of older women (OlaOlorun 2013).

Pilgrimage To A Common Shrine, Katie Ashton
AWE (A Woman’s Experience)
Little Women follows four sisters as they find their individual roles in society and their castles in the air. The children's story shows the rise of feminism through transcendentalism philosophy, shown by each daughter's work through their Pilgrim's Progress to perfect themselves, and to be a future benefit to their society. Their continual self-improvement remolds the transcendentalist philosophy to not only include women, but to confront and reform the ails of a society, whereas Emersonian transcendentalism limits itself to secluding to one's own provincial, albeit perceptive, thought. It is a change much needed in an era following the Civil War, …

Mothers are curios creatures; though the primary caregivers of society, mothers sometimes struggle to care for themselves. Sometimes, they struggle to eat.

AWE (A Woman’s Experience)
Some of the most powerful voices come from the throats of those who are silenced. Art is a way for those without power to wordlessly scream and demand a change. Whether it be through a paintbrush, clay, or the performance of the body, art becomes most powerful when informed by those advocating for justice.

Why Are Utahns Paying Sales Tax On Tampons But Not Viagra?, Hannah Rigby Johnson
Why Are Utahns Paying Sales Tax On Tampons But Not Viagra?, Hannah Rigby Johnson
AWE (A Woman’s Experience)
If you're perused a drug store recently, you likely noticed that for being 0.3527 of an ounce of cotton with a string attached to it, tampons are expensive, Like, really expensive. The average menstruator spends $20 on period products per month according to the National Organization of Women (Kim 2021). Oh, and that's just for the products themselves--Utah women will collectively spend about several billion dollars in their lifetime on just sales tax for pads and tampons. That's a big deal for anyone, especially a single mother trying to feed her family on one paycheck or a sixth-grade girl with …
