Along with all of her achievements, Senator Cool is not alone contributing to Canada. Black women have achieved great heights to be recognized for their contributions to present thriving Canada.

Queen Latifah’s article titled “Who You Callin a Bitch.” argues that female rappers are rewarded for going along with stereotypes by getting more famous. She

Despite choosing to be part of this world, many of the women featured in Love & Hip Hop don't appear to be happy with their choice to be a part of this culture. While some of the women are defining themselves by the men they're with, others seem to have found their own voice and are attempting to empower themselves within this community. But the amount of arguing, swearing, and other inappropriate behavior featured here makes it hard to hear them. Another example is Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta a reality spin-off that follows women connected to the Atlanta hip-hop music scene through their work or their relationships. The hip-hop culture is presented as sexist, and themes pertaining to infidelity and womanizing are central to the show. There is strong language and drinking; frequent arguments between cast members sometimes lead to brawls. One of the main substances for Love & Hip Hop is about black women, with surgically enhanced body parts who are uneducated, and their only on the show because of how they

Rap music in general has failed miserably in portraying the true worth of a woman. Women have a character that men cannot replace in any other way. “Behind every great man, there is a great woman,” and I strongly believe this because it is very applicable in my life as well. I can say that my mother plays an important role in my life, and she stood behind my success till now. Being an international student in this country takes a lot of courage, but the support and encouragement from my mother has helped me every step of the way. She is able to do things that a man cannot do; to be the nurturing, caring, patient, loving, and protective woman she can be to her children and her family.

The last and biggest way woman helped Canada and the allied effort defeat Germany was through the Canadian Womans Army Corps (CWAC). The CWAC was a combat free branch in the army made for specifically the purpose of reliving men from their non-combat roles in order to get them fighting in the war and increase our man count. Some of the many jobs woman would do while enlisted in the CWAC included working at radar stations, cleaning jobs, cooking, secretarial, and even as mechanics. without the CWAC we we would have put less men into combat decreasing our man count. These brave women wanted to help there country in the fight and they did it with pride

Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver are some of the other cities in Canada. Canada is also hoe to a diverse group of people. There are North American Indians, Asians, Chinese and European groups in Canada.

Society has made so many advances in favor of women, but there is still a lot of work to do. Young girls need to grow up in a world where they feel safe and know they have equal opportunities. A social media hashtag and quote has been going around with the events taking place with USA hockey. It says, “She said she wanted to be just like me, I told her ‘be better.’ Taking a stand today for their tomorrow.”

The Canadian women were a huge influence to developing ice hockey for women and are the reason for the growth of the sport in other countries. One individual that does redefine the sport of ice hockey is Manon Rheaume who fought the barriers of integration. Manon’s efforts and determination to challenge her abilities was one of the biggest developments in women’s hockey. No only was Manon making a statement during her career but she was bringing attention to women’s ice hockey. Through Manon’s task oriented goals of challenging her abilities she became a part of the men’s team. She proved not only that she was good enough to play at a high level but also that women are highly capable to compete with the men through the act of integration of sexes.

This is true for not only the politician aspect of Canada, but many others as well. “In 1974, women accounted for 34% of Canada’s labour force.” (4 NELLIE BOOK) In terms of politics, “In recent years women have achieved major political positions such as Speakers of the House of Commons, Justices of the Supreme Court of Canada (Louise Charron), Governor General of Canada (Michaelle Jean), Kim Campbell (Canada’s first, and to date female prime minister), and many more.” (5 NELLIE). After all of these achievements, there were many events held by the Canadian government,” some of the latest events that honoured the accomplishments of the Famous Five and their Person’s Case were: The Famous Five monument unveiling at Parliament Hill in Ottawa (1999), the 75th anniversary of the Person’s case was commemoration (2004), and the Bank of Canada unveiling a new $50 bill that showcases the five women (2004).” (6 ABHER) In terms of the future, Canadian women still have a very long way to go. They have established respect for themselves, but still have many more things they need to be able to achieve in order for them to be considered equal to men, and share the same privileges.“The visual of a woman running, whether it’s for vice president or president,

In 1950 all throughout Canada, the interest in women playing hockey decreased due to World War II ending. During the war, when men left to serve in the army, women were often seen taking their place in sports. This had CCM create their own line of women specific hockey skates and equipment. Once the men returned from the war, women were encouraged to stop playing in sports and working, due to issues with their femininity and the traditional gender roles (that women should not participate in sports that did not emphasize their beauty or femininity). Once the war came to an end, the line that CCM created also was discontinued. This was a major factor that emphasized equality issues, since women were proven when the men were abroad, that they could equally play sports and work, they should be allowed to continue to do so. However, it took many decades for women to be seen equal not only in the workforce but in sports too.

First of all when women started to do the same thing men did that had much of the Canadian population skeptical and afraid that these activities would make the women more masculine and nobody wanted that to happen. “Many spectators attended the game[New Glasgow women’s club defeated the Glacé Bay] out of curiosity to find out if the girls could keep house and cook well enough to attract a husband”(Winnick, 40). Of course Canadian society mocked women who tried to step out of their comfort zones and try something new that could change the way people viewed women. Their perception of women as helpless and comparing them to thieves and minority groups rather than as equally intelligent and capable of the same things as the white men if not more. The status quo influenced women to stay fit, healthy, and good looking. The media made women think that the ideal body was thin and that they should be wearing a lot of makeup, but no one wanted them to be more like men at the time; strong and a

Beginning with the most prevalent controversy, the obvious physical advantage males have over females. “Weight, shape, size, and anatomy are not political opinions but rather tangible and easily measured.” (Connor) This is a strictly a fact, that men have natural, biological, and evolutionary advantages in many aspects of physical exertion, however, it wouldn’t be fair to say that woman have no hope in physical dominance over any man in the 21st century. Females in male sports aren’t just sitting ducks waiting to be beaten, they have a similar polar edge including speed, flexibility, and quick thinking. Looking at an example of this, Massachusetts high school wrestler, Danielle

As hip hop’s first all-female crew of MCs to rock the microphone at old school block parties and clubs like the Rooftop and Latin Quarters, The Mercedes Ladies paved the way for female rap acts such as The Sequence, Finesse & Synquis, Salt ‘N Pepa, Deadly Venoms, Oaktown 357 and the Conscious Daughters.

Gender inequality has been a long part of Canada’s history with men being the dominant decision makers. Women have had to fight long hard battles and overcome numerous obstacles to prove themselves and demonstrate that they are equal to men and not inferior. Over the course of a century women have achieved suffrage and have become increasingly visible in the political and economic sectors. Despite all the achievements women have made barriers remain in effect leaving women at a social, economic and political disadvantage even in the twenty-first century. The primary obstacles in achieving gender equality are the noticeable absence of women in authoritative economic and political positions, unfair social stereotypes that are still
