Essays Addressing Gender Roles (All Sections)

Hello all,

The following links take you to essays that you are required to read in preparation for your upcoming essay on Othello and the play's portrayal of gender roles. You will not be required to use all the essays, but they do provide some strong insight into gender roles and how are they portrayed, maintained, shattered and exposed.

"The Myth of the Latin Woman:Just Met a Girl Named Maria," Judith Ortiz Cofer

"Being a Man," Paul Theroux

"There is No Unmarked Woman," Deborah Tannen

"Mind Over Muscle," Davide Brooks

In addition to these essays you should also review your precis' on Stephen Jay Gould's "Women's Brains" and Gretel Ehrlich's "About Men."

Best,

Benitez
