Wikipedia Trail form "Fascinating Womanhood"' to "Articulating Adolescent Girls' Resistance to Patriarchal Discourse in Popular Media"
I searched women's role in patriarchal society from there I looked at the first article Fascinating Womanhood. published in the1920's and 1930's the book seeks to help traditionally-minded women to make their marriages a lifelong love affair. It takes in many sources from historical women and examples shown in classic literature.This gained attention of many feminist writers who largely regard the book as detrimental to women in various ways
The next article I hopped to was The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature. The author makes a case against tabula rasa models in the social sciences, arguing that human behavior is substantially shaped by evolutionary psychological adaptations.the author talks about three linked dogmas. the blank slate (the mind has no innate traits)—empiricism, the noble savage (people are born good and corrupted by society)—romanticism, the ghost in the machine (each of us has a soul that makes choices free from biology)
The next hop was to an article called In a Different Voice: Psychological Theory and Women's Development. In the book, Gilligan criticized Kohlberg's stages of moral development of children. Kohlberg's data showed that girls on average reached a lower level of moral development than boys did. She strives to emphasize that women, like men, are capable of thinking and acting in a manner associated with justice, and women with elements more associated with the value of care.
My last hop leads me to an article called Articulating Adolescent Girls' Resistance to Patriarchal Discourse in Popular Media. This paper explores and theorizes the experiences in adolescent girls' lives that pertain to their ability to resist damaging media representations of femininity. Traditional theoretical approaches to resistance involve notions of “resistant reading” of media messages.
