As a female of a visual minority, the horror of experiencing life in this environment angered me as this is not only morally incorrect, but…

Breaking the Glass Ceiling Since day one, men have had the upper hand. They have the best job opportunities, more freedom, and less discrimination. Women, on the other hand, were forced into staying at home taking care of children or cooking the food. Now we are pushing those boundaries and fighting for women rights.

“Less than three in ten science and engineering jobs are held by women,” says a faceless female voice within the first five seconds of IBM’s “Hack-A-Hairdryer” commercial. This is true. Although women comprise half of the total U.S. workforce, only twenty-four percent of STEM workers are female (Beede et al., 2011, p. 2).

Gender is re-inscribed as stable and normal. The international is not separate and apart from the domestic because the gendered, sexual and cultural dichotomies that permeate the narratives of nation-states and sovereignty are informed by the vocabularies of both.
