Forster Mrs. Sandoval 12th Humanities January 30 2017 Gender Roles: True Inequality The pervasiveness of traditional gender roles seem to be an omnipresent force in every aspect of our society. Frequently, we can often recognize and acknowledge overt sexism, but avoid tackling our bigger obstacle, the driving force behind gendered behaviors, our gender roles.

Holmes uses Ashley to highlight moments and positions of inequality starting fairly early in her development. Johnson also works to destabilize the idea of modern gender equality, through a ‘girl’ character. Like Ashley, Candice is in a transitional age.
