I Am A Girl Boss

In the article “Lean In: What would you do if you weren’t afraid,” Sandberg modernizes feminism for the woman of today. Sandberg addresses many points of gender inequality that are still present in today’s society. She urges woman to not fall into passive gender roles, but rather, to be “Ambitious”. Her goal is that young women just entering the work force will not only continue, but also aim high. One point that

Lean In: Women, Work and The Will To Lead, by Sheryl Sandberg, addresses how women can achieve professional achievement and overcome the lack of leadership progress that has been absent over the past few years. Sandberg uses personal experience, research and humor to examine the choices that working women make everyday. She argues that women can achieve professional goals while still being happy within their personal lives. She argues this by going into detail about what risks to take, how to pursue certain professional goals and how to overcome struggles such as balancing a family and a career. All through Lean In, Sandberg uses the fourth dimension of interpersonal effects through a Narrative to show her indicated stance on gender

In the business world, it’s all about being assertive. The people who get the highest ranks are the most assertive in their occupation, but for women there seems to be a “catch 22” in their assertiveness. Assertive women in the workplace are often viewed as rude or pushy, therefore making it harder for them to move up in the high ranks of the company. However, if a woman is not assertive enough then the business might think she is not committed to the job she is doing. There is also a “glass ceiling” put in place for many women. A “glass ceiling” is a goal that one would think can be achieved but really it is an unattainable goal due to policies or corporate culture. Many women feel the impact of the glass ceilings as they start climbing the business ladder.

These women, although they lived in a third world country, have the skill and gumption to go into business for themselves, and “be their own boss”. In the United States, more women have the ability

Through other empirical studies, research showed how the typical working girl was approached with a multidimensional field of positive opportunity when it came to employment. The article suggests how due to the prosperity of the city and more specifically its city life created new jobs for people, specifically towards women. Through their work, women emphasized the importance of being able to work outside of the home. This new sense of work gave them the confidence that all women have the same set of skills that men

“I'm part of Generation X -- the generation where girls and young women were taught that we could be anything, do anything and, if we worked hard enough, could have it all”, said Tabby Biddle a writer and women’s rights advocate (2015). Tabby Biddle isn’t just speaking about her generation but also all the girls in Americas newest generation. Growing up I was under the same impression that I would have all the opportunities I could possibly hope for. I planned on having all sorts of occupations. I wanted to be an artists when I was little, then I thought maybe I will be a teacher, at one point I thought I could be a doctor. The possibilities seemed endless. After college I am planning on opening up my own company and I am determined to let nothing stop me. I believe that because I live in America a country that declared, “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the

Nice Girls Still Don’t Get the Corner Offices was created by Executive coach Lois Frankel, who has spent many years empowering women to reach their fullest potential. It is a revised version of her first book: Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Offices and mentions right off that she wishes she didn’t have to write an updated version. Frankel states that women have not yet broken the glass ceiling completely, just put a few cracks in it (Frankel, Lois P.). So to once again help women overcome the deeply embedded character traits they learned as girls and take control of their careers with a revised version of her book, Frankel describes more than 100 common mistakes that women make during their careers and shares a number of ways to overcome

For a single mother, the stability and security of Corporate America would seem like a safe haven that one would never risk leaving. But for author, speaker, and information technology expert Kiah L. Graham, the love she had for her young daughter gave her a burning desire to take that risk and see what success looked like beyond the comforts of big business. Her goal was to be able to not just financially support her daughter, but to also have the flexibility in fully supporting their academic and extracurricular pursuits. So, she took a leap and never looked backed taking with her a passion to build a life and a business that would make her daughter proud, and serve as example that women can do anything they set their minds to. As a result

In Tina Fey’s memoir of her life, Bossypants, she provides many examples of challenging the ideas of femininity in today’s modern society. This is important because it shows younger women that despite the inequalities for women in the workplace, the inequalities can be overcome, and women can go on to live successful lives with the careers that they want. In Bossypants, Fey tells different anecdotes about the struggles that she ran into during her position as a female writer in Saturday Night Live and how these struggles ultimately made her a better writer and person after she had overcome them. In today’s society, one of the biggest examples of inequality in the workplace is that in the majority of the fields, females get paid significantly less than their male co workers who do the same job. The book Bossypants is the perfect example of how to educate the audience about important issues such as inequalities in the workplace while also keeping the audience entertained with one-liners and different forms of comedy throughout the whole story. It is important that Fey talks about these examples because she shows that even though she may have struggled and that her male co workers were not always supportive of her, she did her best anyways and she worked to become the boss so that she could be in charge of her own work. In Bossypants, Tina Fey talks about the struggles of being a female writer in her field, and how to focus her energy on her work to become the boss. She elaborates on the inequalities of women in the world of employment and how these inequalities can affect women’s careers.

Countless women in the 1980s were discriminated based on their gender alone, so they believed in order to establish themselves they needed to act like a businessman to be heard. “Being used to having successful executives being, and therefore acting like, men teaches managers and leaders to expect women to model the same behavior.” Women that related to Kathrine Parker’s character believe they need to act like their dominate counterpart in their business, since the attitude men were giving gave them

Women have experienced a historic situation of inequality in the social as well as professional aspects. Women were normally the ones that would take care of children, do the chores in the house, and in rural areas; they would work in the field with the rest of the family. However, today’s women have become more self-sufficient and independent from the predominant male figure within every historical family. Gender inequality in the workplace is becoming less common; yet, gender is a factor that affects men and women. Especially women have been subjected to a historical discrimination that has influenced society to decide which job is more suitable for women than men. However women have confronted and tried to break down the barriers that

This research paper focuses on the gender differences at work and their communication styles. It discusses the manner in which men and women take in communicating to others. It is viewed that men are no longer the power house of communication. Research will indicates that in group settings, not one gender type dominates the conversation, but the one who shows leadership is determined to have power. In addition, studies indicate that men are less intuitive than women because women express nonverbal communication with great sensitivity.

First, women in the professional world face harsh criticisms that are both portrayed in the media and rooted in Biblical interpretations. A Commercial by Pantene points out the issue of labelling. A man is labelled “boss,” while a woman is labelled “bossy”; a man staying late at work is “dedicated,” while a woman staying late at work is “selfish” (Social Voice
