Hi! I would like to a native English speaker to correct my text Karl Andersson – Ragtime discussion There are a many different aspects dealt with in the book Ragtime. The argument takes place in the very beginning of the 20:th century in New York with surroundings. I’ve found the theme feminism, and how it’s is dealt with at that time, as an interesting point of discussion. In chapter seven Evelyn Nesbit, a famous and beautiful art-model, is on her way back home after visiting her husband Harry K. Thaw in Tombs. Normally she is followed by reports because of her celebrity but one day she is not. She seized the opportunity and goes exploring New York. Eventually she ended up in Lower East Side. In Lower East Side she finds The little Girl, the daughter of a Jewish immigrant from Latvia Tateh. The little Girl is attached to Tateh by her clothing. Evelyn is concerned about the girl and she gets to know the father Tateh. She visits the small family occasionally when she’s able to. Tateh is the president of the Socialist Artists’Alliance of the Lower East Side and one day he brings Evelyn to a socialist meeting where the political activist and feminist Emma Goldman is holding a speech. Emma Goldman recognizes the famous Evelyn in the crowd and uses Evelyn’s usage of her sexuality to advance in the capitalistic society as an example when explaining that marriage is wrong. Meanwhile Tateh, unknowing of this side of Evelyn, gets disappointed and leaves the meeting. Emma Goldman brings Evelyn to her home and educates her on feminism. Emma Goldman thinks that Evelyn should not live her life in accordance to what appeals to men. That is for example wearing corset. Goldman means that Evelyn should dress up more naturally without considering the opinion of others, especially men. This is somehow contradictory for Evelyn since she has risen from a humble background to a wealthy life by using her body as a mean. Goldman also illustrates that she and Evelyn aren’t that different from each other in spite of their visible differences. I found this part interesting. By showing Evelyn that they were not that different from each other and that they do have things in common, Emma explains that independently of the socio-economic status, all women share the same challenges towards an equal society.
