Fairy Tales: Lasting Influence On Attitudes Later In Life
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. It is not difficult to realize that impressionable young girls are getting their first introduction to female relationships and sisterhood through a fairy tale that places sibling love and respect below all other aspects of a healthy relationship. Additionally, young readers are taught that the world is dominated by patriarchal figures to which women are not allowed to oppose, being forced to abide by the rules set down for them without making any fuss. Laurence Behrens and Leonard J. Rosen, authors of Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum, contend it is no wonder that young girls grow up into womanhood with a distorted impression of love, relationships and sisterhood, inasmuch as when they finally embark upon the real world, they are rudely awakened to the fact that life is nothing like it had been portrayed in the well-worn fairy tale Cinderella. Various vignettes throughout the book illustrate the manner by which this particular fairy tale gives young girls the wrong lesson about female relationships. No additional sources cited.

Female Androgynous Adolescents: Better Self-Image Than Being Either Very Masculine Or Very Feminine Girls?
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. When it comes to social acceptance, there exist some very strict guidelines: An individual is either male or female. Indeed, little room for approval is given for those who do not fall into one of these two confining categories, often forcing people to assume roles that abide by social dictates. Female adolescents are particularly susceptible to issues of androgyny as they relate to self-image and overall social acceptance. One can readily argue that those female adolescents who display androgynous tendencies do not, in fact, feel better about themselves than if they were either very masculine or very feminine girls, inasmuch society places much too much pressure for an individual to offer a clear and recognizable distinction between the two portrayals.

Female Wage and Labor Differentials in Canada: History, Difference in Labor Markets, The Wage Gap, General Discrimination and Trends
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 12 page paper discussing wage and labor differentials for women in Canada. Within Canada today, women in the labor force generally make 70 to 80 cents for every dollar men make. This “wage gap” has actually decreased greatly over the years but still has a long way to go for total equity in the work place despite positive legislation in the 1970s and 1980s. Historically, women within Canada have been “crowded” into certain female-dominated professions such as clerical positions, nursing, teaching, domestic work, social work and sales and services. While clerical work once was comparable with male blue-collar jobs in regards to pay, the increase in unionization in many blue-collar trades left most of the female-dominated positions as those which were lower paid. As women shifted away from clerical positions and proceeded to attain degrees in higher education, the wage gap began to decrease but then women encountered the “glass ceiling” in which women held a disproportionate number of positions in the lowest quartile in large corporations. Today, women still have lower average salaries than men despite the gain in higher education. One of the reasons found within studies by Statistics Canada and others is that women who choose to have and raise children lose experience during their absence; experience men continue to gain which in turn leads to more promotions. Another reason believed for the continue wage gap is discrimination which still exists within employers, co-workers and the general population somewhat who still categorize some professions as “female” (such as teaching) and some as “male” (such as the trades) and in essence this restricts female workers from opportunities within the blue collar and higher executive markets.

Feminism and Gender Roles in the 1950s and 1960s
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page overview of the societal changes which occurred during these two decades in regard to the relationships between men and women. Notes a number of factors combined to effect these changes. These were inclusive of the subservient role of women throughout history, inequalities in the workplace, and the perception of being bound into domesticity. Concludes that to judge the changes in gender roles which occurred during the 1960s is the same as judging any facet of human evolution. The relationship between men and women is no more static than any other aspect of our culture and society. Women had witnessed the breaking down of racial discrimination, and age-old attitudes about sexuality and other barriers, they were ready to implement equal changes in their own lives.
