Topic: Two Women


  
  FT April 2003: Ordaining Women: Two Views   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Yet nuns and other women who insist that they have a call to the priesthood and use their pain as evidence for an authentic interior call from God are, in fact, using the protean politics of pain and not Catholic theology to explain their experiences.
Scriptural injunctions to the silence of women in church are, in the first place, not observed anywhere, not even in churches that prohibit women at the altar.
Women have nothing to offer but their own selves called to sacrifice, suffering, and service—and that is quite enough.

 THE IRANIAN: Features, Milani's "Two Women", Jasmine Darznik
With its recent U.S. release, "Two Women" is certain to confound audiences here with the same apparent paradox that Samira Makhmalbaf's "The Apple" presented last year: As a matter of official policy and cultural practice, Iran today is a country where women suffer widespread oppression.
But while "Two Women" is not without its artistic merits, its significance rests most assuredly on the political urgency of its themes and the cultural quagmire in which it was produced.
While the temptation, particularly of Western reviewers, has been to view "Two Women" as an emblematic tale of female suffering in Iran, Fereshteh is never exactly meant to represent the women of her society, and it precisely this detail that lends the film its greatest dramatic tension.

 Teacher Resources - Features - Women Poineers in American Memory: Suffrage
Women have been at the forefront of many social justice movements in America.
One successful movement was the campaign to gain suffrage, or the right to vote, for women in the U.S. The first convention ever called to discuss the civil and political rights of women was held on July 19 and 20, 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York.
Votes for Women, 1848-1921 consists of pamphlets, books, and other documents from the NAWSA collection at the Library of Congress.

 Two Women
Two Women is in no way related to the memorable 1961 Vittorio De Sica film that won Sophia Loren an Academy Award.
The world that Iranian filmmaker Tahmineh Milani portrays in Two Women feels profoundly different from the West; she at once offers a glimpse into the exotic socio-religious context of post-revolutionary Iran, a heartfelt plea for social change, and, unfortunately, a disappointing, unbalanced script that in the end elicits more annoyance than sympathy.
They are used to illustrate the power positions of men over women in Iranian society, but we get no sense of them as real people with complicated or conflicted feelings - the humanity gets buried under the symbols.

 FHI - Case Studies of Two Women's Health Projects in Bolivia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Among women giving birth, 56 percent of women surveyed said they gave birth at home with only family to help, 21 percent gave birth in hospitals or health centers, and 10 percent were attended by midwives.
Women's form of economic participation is influenced by the degree of (or lack of) compatibility between family responsibilities and earning opportunities.
Listening to how women interpret and deal with their problems within their own cultural vision and practice helps the professional staff envision new alternatives, which frequently transform routine medical prescriptions into context-appropriate advice that is more acceptable to the client and, ultimately, more effective in healing her problems.

 BBC NEWS | Health | Women lose embryo battle
The women said if they had fallen pregnant naturally, and then split up with their partners, the men would have no say over whether or not they could have their babies.
These women should be allowed to have their embryos with the understanding that they may or may not receive support for them.
If men and women are equal before the law, a judgement in favour of the women involved would also have implied that a man could insist his ex-partner should carry his baby whether she wanted to or not!

 Two Women (1998): Niki Karimi, Marila Zare'i, Atila Pesyani - PopMatters Film Review
While Fereshteh is an obvious allegorical figure representing her particular generation of women, she is also defiantly flesh, blood, and intoxicated intellect, dazzling herself with her capacity to read, to think, and to feel.
In Two Women, she proposes that she and her friend Roya (Marila Zare'i) form a society of defiant "Apaches" who will shout, learn karate, build up their bodies, and generally shock anyone who expects submissive behavior from women.
Milani's films remind Western audiences that most women (and men) in the rest of the world face the tragedy of little or no choice, in which the most one can hope for, especially if one is a woman, is physical survival, and a fragile hope for the next generation.

Tossey and O'Connor were two of seven dispatchers (six of whom were women) who took advantage of an affirmative-action program that was started a decade ago, aimed at bringing women onto the force.
Two days before Thanksgiving, on the 27th day of the department's 12-week firefighter academy, Tossey and O'Connor were both terminated and sent back to their dispatcher jobs.
The human-rights department took issue with the way applicants were ranked, noting that only 4 of the 21 women who passed both the physical and written tests were likely to be offered a job, because 349 of 598 male applicants were given a higher ranking.

 Sand v.s. Tristan
Both women were primarily raised by the women in their houses as both of their fathers died when they were young.
Though similar circumstances brought these two women into the writing world, their views on women's roles and rights were not the same.
George Sand felt that women's demands for equality only alienated feminists from the public, as they would equate political equality with "freedom of passion."(Walton, 1001) Instead, she chose to write fiction, in the hopes of creating inspiring characters that would slowly help to redefine the roles of women.

 Two Old Women's Bet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
This humorous tale depicts two women who try to outdo each other in making fools of their husbands.
One talks her man into believing he has died, while the other wife claims she is using virgin wool that cannot be seen by anyone who lies to his wife, thereby convincing her husband to go out in an invisible suit of clothes she pretends to sew for him.
Since this folktale typically begins with women who are close friends even though they are competitive and argumentative, Stephenson’s ending in which the women go out together and enjoy themselves leaves us with a positive final image of female companionship and victory.

Bangladeshi politics revolves around a vitriolic personal feud between two women - the outgoing prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, and her rival, Khaleda Zia.
The feud between the two rivals goes back at least a quarter of a century, stemming from Bangladesh's bloodstained past.
Such is the level of hostility and acrimony between them that Mrs Zia was once reported to have declared that she would celebrate her birthday on the anniversary of the assassination of Mrs Hasina's father, along with more than 20 of his close relatives.

 Amazon.co.uk: Two Women: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Martina does such a good job at describing the characters, that you really feel for the women in the book and despise the male characters - you can really visualise the whole book, and at times it is quite upsetting.
However, just one criticism - the title "Two Women" is really misleading as is the synopsis which states "when Sue Dalston is celled up with murderess Matilda Enderby their fates become inextricably linked".
The protaganist, Sue Dalston, doesn't meet Matilda Enderby until two thirds of the way through the book, and even then the only way their lives interlink is that they briefly share a prison cell and also share the same barrister for a while - hardly "inextricably" linked.
