Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur kvinnors sexuella och emotionella frigörelse skildras i skönlitteratur från det moderna genombrottets 1880-tal. Materialet som ligger till grund för uppsatsen är Victoria Benedictssons roman Pengar (1885), Anne Charlotte Lefflers drama Sanna kvinnor (1883), Amanda Kerfstedts novell ”Synd” (1881) och Mathilda Mallings novell ”Pyrrhussegrar” (1886).   Med utgångspunkt i genusteori och intersektionalitet analyseras de skönlitterära verken genom en textnära läsning utifrån frågeställningarna:  1) Hur skildras kvinnors sexuella och emotionella frigörelse i de litterära verken? 2) Vilka aspekter av den samtida sedlighetsdebatten skildrar författarna? och 3) Vilka didaktiska möjligheter finns för verken i relation till svenskämnets kursplaner? Analysen visar att kvinnors sexualitet skildras som starkt kontrollerad av män. Författarna för fram kritik mot den sexuella dubbelmoralen, unga kvinnors brist på kunskap om sexualitet, samt ojämställdheten mellan män och kvinnor. De skönlitterära verkens didaktiska möjligheter utgörs av 1) texternas olikheter gällande längd och form (roman, drama, noveller), 2) svenskämnets kursplaner med fokus på skönlitteratur från olika tidsperioder och relationen mellan skönlitteratur och samhällsutveckling, samt 3) gymnasieskolans kunskapsområde ”Sex, samtycke och relationer” med fokus på sexualitet, könsroller och jämställdhet.

Relatively few studies have explored the relationship between gender role conflict (GRC) and an individual's religious/spiritual identities. This study sought to add to the research on GRC by exploring the experiences of female and male GRC, and expand the understanding of the influence of religion/spirituality (R/S) variables on GRC. Participants (N = 359) were recruited from social media and undergraduate courses and completed an online survey that assessed GRC, a variety of R/S variables, and life satisfaction. Overall, there were some significant differences found between male and female experiences of GRC. In general, the R/S variables did not have a large impact on GRC. However, religious fundamentalism and extrinsic and quest religious orientations were related to specific subscales of GRC. Maintaining congruency between one's personal values and one's religious institution was related to lower levels of specific subscales of GRC. Additionally, GRC was related to lower levels of life satisfaction. Regarding the subscales of GRC, restrictive emotionality was the strongest predictor of lower life satisfaction. By furthering research on the interplay between GRC and R/S, clinicians will be more equipped to handle the repercussions of stereotypical roles within gender and religion, address negative attitudes and behaviors, and lead discussions about finding congruency between one's gender and R/S identities.

The purpose of the essay is to investigate how social and materialistic surroundings bring outnorms for women. The issue with the environment that encourages norms to be upheld, automatically expects frames of genders to be abided by, which implies an impossible spectrum to comply. During the essay you will read about women in their thirties getting interviewed and describing their view, definitions and experiences of being a woman. One method that has come of use to collect how women behave in different surroundings is the observation that I made in a mall. The result shows how there are quite a few limitations for women since they are viewed through the male gaze. To be considered an object rather than a subject is the product of socialization. Since women of generations have been repeating the gender role, one's own thoughts of womanhood is considered personal and has therefore been made into the norm that is being upheld today.
