About
Cindy Sheehan is a peace activist who was moved to begin protesting the Iraq War after her son died fighting in Iraq in April 2004. The harsh criticism that she receives from many is due to her feminist stance and her refusal to accept the role of the "perfect mother." Chapter I of this thesis provides background on Sheehan and discusses the impact she has had on the war in Iraq. Chapter II of this thesis examines how Sheehan uses her motherhood as a basis for her activism in her writings and her speeches. Chapter III of this thesis analyzes the treatment Sheehan has received from various media outlets. Chapter IV discusses the positive and negative aspects of her approaches to her activism and makes suggestions concerning how she could improve her activism to help end the Iraq War as well as to help further women's rights.
