Laura,

23 years ago, you went through the most traumatizing moment a woman could go to. As a young girl, you viewed yourself through the eyes of others. After that fateful day, your life changed for good. You no longer find the courage to say what you want to out loud.

Lizzie has now passed, and it was time to clean out the old house before returning home to your husband and children. These…

In 1877 Annie Besant and Charles Bradlaugh published a pamphlet that advocated birth control. The pamphlet, Fruits of Philosophy by Charles Knowlton educated people on birth control methods that essentially would help the economy. If people only had the amount of children they could fiscally attend to, then the economy would be better off, or at least this was the idea. Even while this pamphlet spread and was well-read, both of them were arrested and charged. Their trial was widely known as…

The Berlin wall went through many different stages in its 28-year history, and these different stages were well documented.  The wall was renovated many times, but the beginning of the wall is still one of the most interesting parts of the construction. 

Modernism was an art style that was reflective of a change in Barcelona. New political and cultural movements were being created, leading to a new identity for the Catalan people. A key feature of modernism in art is not following society's rule. It is the artist's job to step out of the box and create artwork that will make someone have a double-take and read into the work that is presented. Modernist art is full of vibrant colors that express the value and beauty in life. Modernism allowed…

During the 20th century, the modernist art style was incorporated into art throughout Barcelona as previously mentioned. This new artistic style contrasted traditional art styles and was embraced by several different artists. When looking at the art pieces in this gallery, notice the vibrant colors and nonlinear lines that were a contrast to traditional art. This art style paralleled the Catalan desire to get rid of the old ways (being subjected to Spanish rule) and passionately fight for…

For many years, Athens was run by tyranny. After wars and disagreements, new government systems were brought into the society. The disagreements did not stop there, with the rise of a new political system came the constant power struggle between those that supported democracy and those that supported oligarchy. Through the eventual implementation of democracy within Athens, the nation was divided into two groups where one supported a democratic system while others opposed. Many areas of…

The Cathedrals have a rich cultural standing amongst France and would help depict historical and…

Since his first appearance in Strand Magazine over a hundred years ago, Sherlock Holmes has reappeared in countless adaptations spanning across just about every artistic medium. This is to be expected, as detective fiction is one of the most heavily adapted genres in the world, constantly being remade in film and television because of its innate ability to offer commentary on cultural context whilst also providing blockbuster action moments (McGraw 11). Three…

The late 1890s was a transitional period in history that saw the rise of The New Women’s Movement, encompassing women who pushed back against the behaviours conventionally see as feminine by advocating for equal rights in areas of suffrage, education, and employment.
