Ullman encourages women to never give up and fight for their dreams. Her motivational words have been inspired by her past experience of harassment and discrimination. Through her hardships, she has grown and shaped the successful woman she is today. Ullman will be shocked to learn that the percentage of women in the Computer Programming field has dropped to 21 percent, but surprisingly the percentage of women in Management and Professional Occupations, have dominated with 57.2 percent (“Labor Force”). Kaplan, on the other hand, questions the school systems of how they are focusing all their attention on inspiring and preparing young women to be successful and lack the time and resources to motivate the young men to pursue a higher education.…
On January 26, 1883, Theodore Roosevelt presented his speech, “Duties of American Citizenship” in Buffalo, New York to the citizens of the United States of America. The patriarchy speech by Theodore Roosevelt, pretty much explains itself in the title of the speech, “Duties of American Citizenship”, it goes over what it means to be an American Citizen. Patriarchy is evident throughout the whole speech, on how men should be good citizens as well as being good husbands, colleagues, and fathers.

America is often described as melting pot. However, I believe America is better described as a mosaic with the different people and different cultures meshing together but still maintaining their distinctness. Each group that makes up America has their own story to tell. Within the social foundations of American education, there is the plight of African Americans fighting to end the racial segregation of schools; Native Americans pushing back against the efforts to assimilate them, Catholics who fear that Protestant dominated schools will threaten the religious beliefs of their children and women who wish to be seen more than domestic servants. There are also socioeconomic factors involved that hinder the educational obtainment of children…
Females and males learn very differently from each other and both of their educations can suffer because of the education being taught these days. A single gender environment is essential for the proper education of females. Females won’t be productive learners and will not reach full potential. Females need the proper education because their minds are more complex then males and have a different psychology then males also. Females need an education that caters to their educational needs and a single gender environment…

Throughout the greater history of America, spanning from its European roots into and throughout the early colonial era, the woman’s place had always been in her husband’s home, where she would carry out a list of tasks and tend to her children in order to be considered useful. In these times, man would never have entertained the thought of training her faculty with the tools gained from higher education; to send the woman to college was to waste their resources on an intellectually inferior creature. These beliefs pervaded the American popular opinion with little resistance up until the Age of Enlightenment. After the Revolutionary War, and even later with the Civil War, the people began to reshape and break their social constructs. Women, in their climb towards equality, could began their access the university.…
“Women’s Studies: A man’s perspective” offers a thoughtful and insightful viewpoint of the tribulations that may be encountered, and the advantages that may be acquired, as a result of participating in a women’s studies course as a male. Although Evan Weissman received support on his decision to complete a women’s studies course by several of his closest loved ones, others mocked him and questioned his confidence as a man. Many of those that insulted him lacked the ability and competence to recognize the positive outcomes a women’s studies course could provide. According to Weissman, most men are oblivious to the advantages and dominance they possess over women. Through women’s studies, Weissman was able to develop a strong sense of confidence in himself, and realize that the attainment of his goals was, in part, influenced by his gender.…
Some countries such as Latin America have cultural systems that do not support female education. Over time this has made it hard for women to get involved in society and make way for themselves. Through cultural works such as Prayers for the Stolen and Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz’s Selected Writings you can see how the education system does not reach out to women in Latin America. In Prayers for the Stolen the author implements a couple demonstrations of education. Ladydi’s mother finds herself to be quite intelligent, and her only access to education is the History channel as Ladydi explains.…

The purpose of my research paper is to examine the evolution of female education in America during the 19th century. In my understanding that this is a broad topic, I want to focus on the basic educational opportunities awarded to daughters of wealthy and middle class white families. My paper will take a look at the arguments both for and against furthering female education, with a special focus on how education was marketed to appeal to a conservative idea of Republican motherhood and the women’s domestic sphere. In order to contextualize this change in educational standards, I plan to draw brief examples from the 17th, but mostly the 18th century, regarding what subjects and methods of teaching were to be expected for girls that were allowed to attend school. In addition, should space allow, I’d like to also highlight some key women who helped to further the educational reformation, or more generally how female teachers and schoolmistresses did just that.…
