    Otranto

    While each character in Horace Walpole’s Castle of Otranto seem to have their own dispositions that fuel the story, these dispositions also create a pattern intrinsic to gender. The males of the story are powerful and oppressive to their female counterparts. In contrast, the women remain devoted and submissive. Although it may seem that Walpole is trying to degrade women by use of male domination, he is actually focusing on the importance of the female role in the derivation of male power.…

    What Is Ethically Speaking Women's Equality

    Why does one of the most important financial institutions in the United States hire females for their senior management, when most businesses covet these positions to men? I cannot help but think that women in general, have a more organized nature. From being on time, to cleanliness, setting and keeping appointments, having the ability to multi-task, meeting deadlines and performing under pressure, are all traits of most women. This does not mean that men cannot have these traits as well, it just means that women are equal. Perhaps, women are generally more organized individuals because, history shows that women have been the primary managers in the household. I know from experience that managing a household is not an easy task. There are children’s schedules to keep track of, including school, doctors’ appointments and sports events. Women have to keep up with family functions, cleaning, laundry, cooking and shopping. In many cases they also work, go to school and assist in keeping up with their husband’s schedules as well. The experience a woman receives from juggling all of these tasks and maintain it in an organized way would surly translate into an asset in the corporate…

    otheloo

    Race is one of the most prominent themes in William Shakespeare’s Othello. The titular character is a black man in a predominantly white society and one of the first black heroes of English literature. At the time the play was written, black people were treated poorly by white people and were referred to as “moors” as they were considered to be barbaric and brutal just like the area of the moors in northern England. The main character is one of few exceptions to this as he is a high ranking officer in the Venetian army. However, this does not prevent indirect discrimination behind his back. The theme of race and racism is displayed using animalistic imagery, allusions to the occult and straight out racist language. It is not only black people discriminated against in the play, women and even different Italian nationalities are discriminated against. At the time of the play this would have been acceptable but in today’s society this mind-set is not politically correct.…

    In today’s fast paced world of business, women have become an unquestionable influence within the workplace. Back in the 1960 's the idea workforce was made up of white males in their mid 40 's in either being a blue collar or a professional employee. In 2006, “it was stated that eleven Fortune 500 companies were being run by women, including companies such as the New York Times, Sara Lee, and Avon Products” (Women CEOs, 2007).…

    Standpoint Theory

    As I was doing my research on feminist Standpoint Theory I came across this article “Do We Hate Female Bosses?” on www.forbes.com written by Ruchika Tulshyan dated 3/26/2014. What followed were disheartening statistics and figures showing the paltry representation of well-liked female leaders. World over, both men and women prefer male bosses over female bosses. This harsh reality is confirmed by the fact that only 4.6 percent of public companies CEOs are female. Is it because females make bad leaders? Are male CEOs much more efficient than their female counterparts? Sadly there is no such evidence to prove any of the above assumptions. The abysmal representations of women in top positions has less to do with their lack of leadership skills and management qualities but more to do with the age old negative stereotyping of women bosses. The women in positions of authority always face a double bind- be tough and get called bitchy, but be soft and get accused of being weak. However the same toughness in a male boss is attributed to him as being assertive. There is a very blatant and deplorable double standard prevalent in the corporate society where the exact same behavior in a male boss is seen as a plus and in a female boss is seen as a negative. If a man is angry and is assertive and demanding, everyone awestruck, call him the ‘take charge kind of guy’. But when a woman does the same thing, people scorn and call her a bitch.…

    Women Enterprise in India

    Everywhere you look, there is an Indian woman in the pursuit of the entrepreneurial dream. Women have always been involved in small, usually home-based businesses but this is different. We are more visible, we are more ambitious and we hear more women talking about building businesses, not just earning an income. What is driving so many women to start businesses? What challenges do they face? What helps them succeed? Does gender enter the entrepreneur’s mind at all? These were only some of the questions we had, and out of that emerged the Women’s Web Women & Entrepreneurship in India 2012 Study. The study was conducted online between June 1st and 20th and we received responses from 114 women entrepreneurs across the country. Below are the results, which will be of interest to entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs-in-the-making, mentors, advisors, funding firms and anyone with an interest in the story of women and entrepreneurship in India. Women entrepreneurs in India: Who, where, how big? A significant chunk (58%) of the entrepreneurs we surveyed had started their businesses between the ages of 20 and 30; interestingly, 25% had started up even before turning 25. It raises the possibility of at least some women starting up businesses without first holding a job, right after their education. As expected, most were either graduates or post-graduates.…
