Mary Todd Lincoln : 3 pages in length. Considered to be
one of the most colorful -- if not misunderstood -- of all
presidential first ladies, Mary Todd Lincoln stood tall for
what she believed and ended up paying a high price
throughout her entire life for her outspoken and opinionated
manner. Indeed, she was instrumental in implementing much
positive growth within the country's infrastructure, such as
bringing to light the atrocity of slavery, however, she was not
that well received from her husband's political constituency
on account of her sometimes erratic behavior. Still, it can be
argued that Mary Todd Lincoln helped considerably when it
came to establishing the United States of America as it exists
in contemporary times. The writer discusses the various
aspects of the first lady's life. Annotated bibliography lists 10

Women & The US Justice System : A 16 page research
paper. The topic of women and the US Justice System is
indeed a broad one, containing several aspects that cannot be
ignored by any discussion of both the role of and the effects on
women. It is necessary to look at women on each side of the
judicial bench—how those in judging positions perform their
duties and the contributions they make, and how those
embroiled in legal issues common to women are faring today
compared to past times. Also important is the fair and unbiased
evaluation of the effects and the realized results of laws specific
to women, such as sex discrimination of women and reforms of
rape laws that have been in place in several jurisdictions for
several years, while are still under discussion in others.
