According to Simone de Beauvoir, One is not born a woman, but rather one becomes one. Discuss the meaning of this statement from the point of view of what it

OR
What is Patriarchy? How does it affect the distribution of power in society? Using the story Rites of Passage by Bulbul Sharma, explain how a) all women are not
equally disenfranchised under patriarchy and b) how is wifehood and motherhood glorified in the system (Basic Concepts: 9)?

A note on plagiarism: Plagiarism is defined in dictionaries as the "wrongful appropriation," "close imitation," or "purloining and publication" of another author's
"language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions," and the representation of them as one's own original work ... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism)
When you cite work from a text (or a website) that is not your own, you must either paraphrase it (re-write it in your own words) or copy the sentence and/or
paragraph within quotation marks but give the reference (name of the author, page no. or website) in brackets next to it, after the quotation marks end.
I expect your work to be original, with due acknowledgement given to sentences/ideas that you have taken from other sources, failing which you will necessarily
suffer a grade cut.
