On the same token, women face unique challenges that throughout their different life stages that places them into the Special Population group when compared to men. Women still face challenges today in areas of social, economic, sports, political and cultural despite the fact that there has been success in empowering women and shattering the glass ceiling for employment promotions. They live 7 years longer than men, make up majority of the world’s population but yet they are greatly ignored. Some women are subjected to part time jobs and lower wage position than their male counterparts. Likewise, women face ageism and sexism in the media on the average profile of a woman.

Eavan Boland’s poem “It’s a Woman’s World” illuminates the fact that history has shaped an unfair role for women in today’s society. Boland criticizes the gender bias with regards to the limitations placed on women and their job choices despite their ability to be just as successful in the workplace as men. Regardless of the fact that the bias against women in the workplace is often overlooked, Boland aims to show the shared reaction of women to the gender bias prevalent in our society by using short sentence fragments, repetition, and a fire motif throughout the poem.

Women have long been fighting for their right to be seen as equal to men. Even to this day, women continue to fight for their rights, things such as the right to non-gender discriminatory wages. While there may be some arguments over the state of gender equality in the modern world, it is undeniable that there have been great strides made toward recognizing the female 's worth in the workforce and as a human being. Despite these strides, however, things are still not yet ideal for women and many of the issues females face today are the very same issues that have been plaguing them for decades. While it is unfortunate the oppression of women has been so long-lived, the length of that exposure has thankfully enabled many talented writers to both lament over the fact and emphasize the need for gender equality.

The female is represented in the primary source as being inferior to men. They’re also known to have less energy, patience, and less physical courage than man. According to Gamble, “women have powers of intuition, finer and more rapid perceptions, and a greater degree of endurance”. Both men and women have mental qualities and equal perfection. Furthermore, she states “women can successfully compete with men in all walks of life”; this is proven because women are now working in occupations that have been regarded as belonging exclusively to men. Female’s choice in sexual selection is also superior. According to Gamble, this is evidence of a higher mental capacity and intelligence in females.

The extent and degree of information and detail written in this article about each represented author and their contributing works can ultimately be seen as one of the articles main strengths. However, although this article gives a vast amount of information on the women’s opinions and beliefs the article at times seems disassembled and erratic. The flow of the article is somewhat hard to follow, and without an increased measure of concentration, the ability of the reader to comprehend and decipher whom the author is speaking of can be lost. Also, with the extensive amounts of information and detail that each female author contributes to the argument, readers are bombarded with data to interpret and distinguish upon. With the author of the article not decisively choosing the strongest points of argument from each author, the information becomes overwhelming and possibly confusing at times.

In this book she has helped the reader understand how women help in shifting and creating the world that we know today.

Since humanity began, the men are always considered as the protectors, the winners, and the leaders of the world. How about women? Does the woman have to cook, clean and raise the children? Can a woman join the military or have a hard-working job? Nowadays, notwithstanding earning many achievements in various spheres, some people still have the prejudice that a woman has to belong to the kitchen! To illustrate what society thinks of a woman and what ideas should be changed, Lynn Peril published her argument, “Pink Think.” By arguing on all sides, she built “Pink Think” to become an effective essay, which would go into my heart and my mind for a long time.

“In these two books, we have the story of a young man coming of age and finding success in the world and the story of a young woman coming of age and failing to do so. In either book, what gender roles prevailed?”

All of those disadvantages for women in modern society are affecting young girls, and it is hard to raise daughters in today’s culture. We as a country should not just let this inequality continue. Men and women should be treated equally and it is important for parents to raise their kids to make the future less

He also brings up the claim of women’s superiority as well as arguments within both of these topics.

A statement that Julia Wood made in the Epilogue stood out to me. She says that “As women and men, you can affect what society expects of and admires in each sex” (Wood, 321). This showed me that we have the ability to impact the gender roles society holds. It is important to not judge a father for deciding to stay home while the mother works

women in the novel are rising to more prominent and respected positions, it is the content of

Miss Brill from the short story Miss Brill is an unmarried woman dealing with the situation of being harrassed and alienated in the times of the 1920’s like the protagonist from ‘Now Let No Charitable Hope.’ She spent her time teaching children at school and reading the newspaper a half-alive man who doesn't care for her presence. All she desired for was a man to “yearn” to and they would listen and answer. Her weekly visits to the park were because she was lonely and alienation. She longs to interact with the wider world.

Since the book also stressed the ongoing battle of feminism, readers of today would respond to it on a different note compared to readers in the early 19th century where feminism is not a well-accepted culture. Today, feminism or the
