deficiency of adequate mentorship for females pursuing engineer careers. According to Theresa Barger, a writer for The New York Times, “[H]aving a mentor who faced similar discrimination and figured out a way to be taken seriously makes all the difference” (Barger). While an effective mentor can be of either gender, an experienced female engineer is more likely than an experienced male engineer to experience struggles similar with those faced by the rising generation of female engineers, such as…

specifically look to higher female officers because of their statistically better ability to defuse situations without the use of force. Research has shown that women are more capable of talking down situations and are less likely to use force. This skill is particularly helpful in policing. Women officers typically come off as less intimidating and for this reason people are more willing to comply with orders given…

The female nude has long been present in the history of art, these portrayals of the nude were originally divine paintings that of goddesses and spiritual beings (Figure 1.1). Before the feminist movement of the 1960's, for centuries these depictions of the female nude were created solely from a male viewpoint. I have chosen to discuss works that have been created by the male artist and their representation of the female form. Is it possible that because these works were created from a male…

Featuring fascinating material drawn from interviews with women who participated in games as far back as the 1930s, plus dozens of unpublished evocative images of female players and teams, this is a book that…

representation in any spectrum. An outrageous level of inequality between men and women exists because women are viewed as objects not subjects. With the extent of female representation in the media increasing, things have improved but today for a woman to hold a position of power, she is expected to do more than just her job. Female news reporters, Olympians and even politicians also have to look the part. Although it wasn’t in the job description, if you’re a woman in the…

because the power of female beauty and the presence of female passivity as a component of beauty has found its way into modern culture and it has warped society’s perspective of females. Cinderella’s impact on growing girls is enormous because it is the biggest of the three “Big Girl Tales” and it is embedded in the heart of our culture in regards to how little girls should grow to view themselves (Thomas, Tammis). The subliminal impacts of “Cinderella” on the minds of female children encourage…

experiences of female skinheads in the 1980s Academic analysis of the UK skinhead subculture focusses on males, through the paradigm of class (Hebdige 1979, Mungham 1976, Jefferson, 1979, Cohen 2011, Cashmore 1984, Clarke 1975). Such an approach overlooks female participation in subcultures. McRobbie (2000) addresses female invisibility in her qualitative research, focussing on women in separate locations to males, rather than occupying the same spaces. This research will resituate a female…

Similar to the masculine articulation, considering the three female executives, whom I interacted, demonstrated varying degrees of femininity in their online as well as offline self which I indicate as below. Disney, the ‘Female’ Among the three participants, Disney demonstrated the closest conformity to the stereo-type feminine constructions of the society exhibiting love, tender, care, gentle dialogues, and sensitivity and the ideal woman traits (Stets & Burke, 1988). Her online self,…

The Power of the Female Form Artist unknown, seated sculpture of Helen c. 324-29 represents the expressions of beliefs of power and powerlessness in the female figure. The freestanding sculpture is a representation of Helen of Troy. The sculptor depicts the woman whose love was fought over famously causing the heartbreak of thousand and their deaths in the Trojan War. The sculptors base has Helen seated upon a chair, the seated position is contradictory in both expressions of power and of…

The show was about life in the 60s and early 70s through the eyes of a teenage boy. I recall a certain episode where the female character was walking in a bathing suit. As she walked she was filmed in slow motion as her hair blew in the wind and the boys that were around her gazed at her as she was walking. Even in the shows that are on the air today you see more young girls…
