Women’s Studies Question

Please write a 2000 word essay.

Your prompt is Who was Marie Bonaparte and how did her life and work both challenge and reinforce Freuds ideas about female sexuality?

Please refer to these sources and include quotes and evidence from these articles to back up your statements.

Marie Bonaparte herself wrote many articles and books include one of them as a source find it yourself.

Argument and analysis: How effectively have you answered the question? Have you demonstrated critical engagement and analytic skills, particularly when questions explicitly ask for critical engagement? (NB: critical engagement does not necessarily mean be critical in a negative sense – it is critically engaged in the fullest sense, e.g. trying to understand what a piece of writing or documentary is doing and evaluating it accordingly).

Style and structure: Is your writing clear and are your ideas well-organised, i.e. into paragraphs with clearly defined topic sentences? Does your writing follow a logical structure? With longer pieces of work, how effectively does your introduction set up your argument and the essay; and does the conclusion effectively summarise the arguments? Is the essay presented in a reader-friendly fashion? i.e. 12 point font, 1.5 or double spacing. Is the question clearly stated at the top?

[Tip: try and avoid unnecessary repetition and make sure your conclusion is not just a different version of your introduction, they each have distinctive work to do]

Research and referencing: Have you engaged sufficiently with enough course material to successfully answer the question? With essays, have you made sure most of your sources are scholarly? Are your arguments supported with historical evidence? (i.e. primary sources)

Are your sources properly referenced, using a recommended referencing system? (Chicago or Oxford, i.e. footnotes with bibliography; APA or Harvard – i.e. a referencing system which directs the reader to specific page numbers where relevant). Have you referenced everything you need to? i.e. you should also provide a reference when paraphrasing the work of others, not just when direct quoting.

[Tip: we know that referencing can sometimes be complicated – our advice is it is better to make an effort than not, when in doubt, reference. With primary sources, bear in mind we don’t expect you to conduct original archival research – you can draw on the primary material used by other historians, taking care to reference the original and the history you found it in]
