   I did one on A Doll’s House and thought it rather easy but I have heard that Memoirs of a Geisha is really good too. They are both based a different aspects of women lifestyles and the choices they had to make or the choices they were not oportuned too. You pick… it should be interesting anyway you go…just don’t wait.. putting papers off and procrastination do not go hand in hand with grades. Good Luck1

   Are you writing a comparison paper between two sets of the four books? If so, I would recommend Memoirs and White Women. The fact alone that the books are based in such different cultures should give you a vast array of topics to write on. The idea of females in suppressive, male dominant roles, the idea that women serve often as objects, etc. I would do research on the exact era from each book, what life was like during those times and weave that in as well. They book are set in, historically speaking, rapidly changing times that would be difficult for people to adapt to when a certain set of standards had been accepted for so long. I hope this helps. Good luck with your paper.

   I have read all of the books that you listed and have had to write detailed term papers on “A Doll’s House” and “The Glass Menagerie.” From a student’s perspective, I would choose those two because there is so much literary criticism and sources available that you can explore so many different angles. I enjoyed “Memoirs of a Geisha” and “One Thousand White Women” however I am not sure that there is much literary criticism available for you to write a substantial paper.
   Good luck! Any choice you make will be great!

   I’m Partial to Geishas. That probably won’t help you with
   your paper a lot.
