Many stereotypes of women were depicted in the movie North Country. The first major one that I notice was when the main character was talking to her childhood friend after washing her hair. He friend told her that she worked at the town mine. The main character automatically asked her if she was a secretary there. This is a large stereotype that has affected women for a long time.

North Country Analysis MGMT 339 The movie North Country portrayed many stereotypes of women and especially women in the work place. The first one I seen is when the main character‚ Josey Aimes‚ is talking and catching up with her childhood friend. Her friend stated that she worked at the mine and Josey automatically asked her if she was the secretary there. This implies that mining is work only suitable for men and a woman could only work there at a clerical position. Another

North Country: Relevance to Argumentation In the movie North Country the plot over laps allot of the issues we discuss in class weekly. The way the inerrant dominant power the men naturally take within the union. It reminds me of a lot of Cornell West theories on the politician’s in Washington.
