Hi, need to submit a 1250 words essay on the topic Woman in the Nineteenth Century.

This is similar to the viewpoint of Emily Dickinson in her poetry, specifically by creating a different status according to gender. The concept of gender and entitlement becomes questioned not only with the social structure that is accepted but also relates directly to questioning why the responsibilities are placed in a certain area and how this causes imbalance. Examining the theme of Fuller, as well as from poets such as Dickinson, creates a deeper understanding of the problems with gender and entitlement. The first concept that Fuller states is based on the superior position which man was naturally given in the nineteenth century. The entitlement which occurred was founded with changes in culture that dated back to the time of Orpheus and other Greek myth. In these myths, men were regarded as strong and as protectors who should rule the land. She describes this attitude by placing men in a place of power, specifically through war and rulership that creates an expectation of entitlement that men should have. “But he, the much experienced man, who wished to be experience din all, and use all to the service of wisdom, desired to hear the song that he might understand its meaning. Yes, distrusting his own power to be firm in his better purpose, he caused himself to be bound to the mast” (Fuller, 7). This quote creates a foundation that the gender and entitlement of men was based on power, service and wisdom that led the affairs of men. With this concept, entitlement was given that led to men expecting to be held in this regard and not with their true purpose. The concept of entitlement among men is furthered with the suppression of women which follows. Fuller states that men and women as a social concept both have unequal opportunity, first because men are regarded as superior and in power and second because women are not given opportunities for the same reason. The idea of entitlement then becomes one based on the expectations of each gender within society. Fuller relates this to the French Revolution and the idea of liberty that doesn’t regard women as equal within the idea of citizenship. “Before, she could be condemned to perish on the scaffold for treason, not as a citizen, but as a subject. The right with which this title was invested a human being was that of bloodshed and license. The Goddess of Liberty was impure” (Fuller, 8). The concept of entitlement then leads to the social rights one has and how this relates to all facets of life. The concept of entitlement for women is one that is shown through suppression and the inability to become a citizen of affairs in any state while men were subjected to the concept of being entitled to everything. The social concepts then become the expected means for justice without providing the right entitlement to those within society. Not only does Fuller relate gender to the concepts and perspectives of citizenship within society. This continues with the status within the home and the expected roles. Fuller shows that the status of the man is to provide the home while the woman is the heart of the home. However, this goes a step further to lead to entitlement because of the different roles. Fuller doesn’t state that the roles are bad or lead to a gender being subjected to the other. Instead, it is the role of men in society and the laws created around this that begin to build the problems within the home and the entitlement which one has. “It may well be an Anti – Slavery party that pleads for Woman, if we consider merely that she does not hold property on equal terms with men.
