Women Challenge their Audience

The Project Paper focuses on a suggested topic related to art, history, or literature, with important examples and themes that still resonate today for one’s professional or personal life. The project will reflect your views and interpretation of the topic. This project is designed to help you stretch your mind and your abilities to be the creative, innovative, and critical thinker you already are!  
Read the topic carefully. 

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper (750-1,000 words) that responds to each of the items described in the topic. 

Support your ideas with specific, illustrative examples. If there are questions or points associated with your chosen topic, be sure to answer all of the listed questions and address all of the items in that topic. If your topic asks you to do several things related to the topic, be sure to do each of the things listed.
The listed topics each have a certain presentation format or writing genre with it (video, essay, poem, etc), and each topic involves looking at a distinct form of presentation (oral speech, novel, visual art, poetry, etc.  And each topic involves some sort of challenge or theme that is relevant to modern work and life.  Be creative and admire the creativity of others.
Follow the instructions below for what sources to use and what formatting to use in layout and referencing.  Avoid sources that are not good academic quality for college writing (Wikipedia is one example).
