Emotions of women
My presentation will examine the concept of 'female rage' and their sexuality. For a long time, women were seen as submissive beings who could bend to the will of whoever had a higher power over them. All throughout history, women were seen as lesser than men, causing them to be objectified, sexualised and controlled due to the patriarchal values that some people still can't let go of today. This can be demonstrated in the home, workplace and even the streets. From these values, I will specifically focus on the idea of a woman needing to remain virtuous and pure to be deemed worthy of anything. This presentation will show the transformation of a woman who had been viewed by the world as innocent into a being of power and rage.

BA Philosophy, Psychology & Scientific Thought
Throughout my life I have been interested in literature and works about women and how they have been mistreated. The reason I enjoy this subject is because I am constantly inspired by the powerful women in history, such as the suffragette movement and even back to the powerful women from Greek mythology. I have been raised with a variety of medias and cultures, which sparked my passion for art that I always have with me.
