been playing a subservient role for more than 2000
years. In a woman's lifetime, she was supposed to
obey her father when she was a girl, obey her
husband when she got married, and obey her son
when her husband died. She had no right to inherit
family property and was not even allowed to keep
her own name after marriage; she was addressed as
her husband's wife or her child's mother. In
addition, women were deprived of the right of
education, and i...

symbolism, the use of women's actions, and / or
the use of women's words. The first female

Pay Equity Earnings Ratio

Why do people pursue an education? Many people
would answer this question by stating they pursue
an education to attain personal growth, to obtain
a career of their choosing, and to earn an income
that will meet their needs. The aspirations,
dedication, and effort made toward receiving an
education are the same for men and women. So why

men? I believe it is because de facto
discrimination has not been discouraged by
legislation. If the Civil Rights...

standard textbooks, but a bit unevenly and a bit
oddly. Thus Haralambos and Holborn (1990), or
Barnard and Burgess (1996) have good sections
specifically on gender and educational
achievement. However, rather strangely, the
section on education is treated almost entirely as
a sort of empirical matter and not linked very
well to the other admirable sections on gender
generally, or gender in the family or work
sections. This is especially odd in the...
