Joan of ArcJoin now to read essay Joan of ArcJoan of Arc was a 15th century national heroine of France. Joan asserted that she had visions from God which told her to recover her homeland from English domination late in the Hundred Years War. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent her to the Siege at Orleans as part of a relief mission. She gained prominence when she overcame the dismissive attitude of veteran commanders and lifted the siege in only nine days. The renewed French confidence outlasted her own brief career. She refused to leave the field when she was wounded during an attempt to recapture Paris that autumn Hampered by court intrigues, she led only minor companies from then onward and fell prisoner at a skirmish near Compiegne the following spring. A politically motivated trial convicted her of heresy. few days later she was sexually assaulter in prison. She resumed male attire either as a defense against molestation or, in the testimony of
Jan of Arc, to hide her sex life. It is unclear if this was one of the crimes or merely a reflection of the age-old, well-established moral principle of avoiding female debauchery or the “sin-loving” and “sinful” male role-setters whose behavior was largely based on gender. A later survey of public opinion from 1816–1822 showed that only 29 percent of Englishmen had a positive view of her and only 22 percent of Frenchmen agreed. Joan was not considered a religious leader and could only be identified from her actions by a portrait. One might conclude that, in the days after her conviction and her death, she was merely the wife of a king who had given up traditional leadership roles.

The following section has a great deal to say about the role of women in the English legal system.
But there is little to conclude.

There was a strong correlation between the rate of divorce in the English and French legal services community (1), and between average levels of female participation in legal services and total divorce (52, 53)—a correlation which is the primary source of evidence to support the importance of women in the legal profession.
The fact that the rates of divorce and male participation are highly correlated in the English legal society to the levels of female participation in legal services and total divorce is particularly telling. As it is with most non-Christian countries, there is much evidence that this correlation is likely to be stronger in the English community, as well as in those where the degree of male participation is low or not. In Germany, for example, a recent study by the State University of New York at O, Berlin found that in the majority of cases of all divorces, between one and five were initiated from a female. Yet only one in ten German divorces was actually initiated by a male. And in the more than half of English divorces, which have been conducted jointly, the number of divorces initiated by an unmarried woman was much lower than in most other English cases.
Many of these same factors may explain the low divorce rates of non-Christian societies and in particular in the communities of women involved. But there is much less empirical evidence for the existence of such positive correlation between divorce rates and men’s attitudes towards women, and men’s beliefs about women’s rights. The current high divorce rates in some parts of the world would appear to support this view in the absence of strong evidence of it. The correlation can have been even greater (about 1:1) for the UK government’s 2010-11 report on Gender Pay Gap, which found that in the UK the rate of divorce in 2004 was 2.5 times higher than the rate in 1991-91 according to a 2005 study led by Mark Williams in the Journal of Sex Research.

A possible explanation for this may be the fact that many jurisdictions are not actually adopting the ‘pursuant to article 14 of Constitution, which states that ‘[t]he states shall have ‘control over their own legal aid and representation,’ which will allow them to provide for their own legal services, with its attendant responsibilities. We therefore cannot say for certain that certain jurisdictions are seeking to adopt the amendment of this Article. The law in those jurisdictions is not set out to accommodate this. We do not want to confuse with ‘
The “Lady of Arc” had a political history in the late 1660s with her own efforts to gain a larger role and prominence in the English aristocracy. She claimed to be, in fact, a daughter of Anne the Third, after her mother, Joan of Spain, who was married for the first time. It is possible that she may have been involved with two more women at some point. Either way, she was a “Lady of Arc” and, if one looks closely enough, her name is well known worldwide as Queen Anne’s daughter. Since the arrival of Queen Anne of Scots in 1449, her role as patron of a large English aristocratic order and administrator of royal records has been one of popularized literature including The King’s Hundred (King’s and King’s Conferences, Newbury College, 1995), the “Tales of a Tale” (Cambridge University Press, 2007) and The Three Great Menaces of Charles VII (London, 1816–1833). As Anne was not a married woman, her political ambitions were not directed towards an immediate need for an immediate political capital. Rather, she attempted to avoid being directly involved with the king in any capacity at all, in the expectation that he would turn out to have more important affairs to deal with and that he himself would act as a catalyst for his efforts. He failed. Perhaps most significantly for Elizabeth there were many instances during this period of time in which she was not as involved as she should have been. Elizabeth’s mother, Catherine of Aragon, was the only Englishwoman to have a daughter of England as a rule and her father, James I IV, was often considered to be the most influential Englishman of the middle and early seventeenth centuries.
A woman without a political leadership position was considered a woman. Women made up just 2 percent of the English population at the time (1.8 percent by the 1870 Census) but by 1860 were less than 4 percent of parliamentarians; by 1925, 2.9 percent of lawmakers and 2.9 percent of members were women (2 estimates). This represented an increase of 4.2 percent from 1870 to 1920. The birthrate among women rose from around 18.8 in 1870 to 20.1 in 1921. In order to meet the woman’s increasing political ambitions she sought to reduce her political experience, including her involvement in politics as well as in the economy and commerce. She maintained neutrality during the Great Famine and other famines, and she made a number of private attempts — to bring money and gold into England to help pay for its defense but also at the expense of a considerable share of the treasury — but there remained a number of concerns. She attempted to make her influence felt by opening small banks, which were seen as instruments of her “family power.” She encouraged her fellow women to make an effort to help others. There was a feeling that women might be taken at her word on matters that involved the subject of war rather than simply serving a limited social function, which she saw as inappropriate especially at a time of
Jan of Arc, to hide her sex life. It is unclear if this was one of the crimes or merely a reflection of the age-old, well-established moral principle of avoiding female debauchery or the “sin-loving” and “sinful” male role-setters whose behavior was largely based on gender.
