Subject: Gender Equality in the Work Place
Audience: Women my age, 18-23, College students. Women who have families and careers in the work place.
Writing Situation: An evaluation of the “Ceiling Glass”. An essay in a college magazine.
Thesis: In American today there is no “glass ceiling” for women. We have seen women reach higher job positions. This was done by using education and encouraging women to be ambitious.
