In Gaelles article, she writes about how discrimination towards women all began in
the first place. Her article goes into depth, talking about different topics and kinds of
gender inequality. Most importantly, he gives us readers a really good definition of
what gender inequality really is. I will definitely be using that definition in my essay.
I also feel this is a strong article because its well-written and goes in order and never
repeats after itself. There are writings about discrimination on women, unequal pay in
the workforce, health benefits and education. This article is a primary source that
gives me statistics on more than one topic. The writing doesnt change my viewpoint
on the topic. This source helps me shape my argument because it gives me dates,
numbers and times that people were suffering with discrimination. I get a very broad
outline.
Gilman, Charlotte Perkins. The Yellow Wallpaper. English 102 Gothic/Horror Readings,
Edited by, Joanna Parypinski, January, 1892, pp 27-36
The Yellow Wallpaper is another credible source for me to input in my research
essay. The writing was written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a women suffering with
postpartum depression during the time which she was writing The Yellow
Wallpaper. Although she doesn’t include in her writing that she was the female she
was writing about, we as readers are able to connect it with her biography. She writes
about a women that recently just had a baby and is going through tough times. Her
husband at the time is a doctor and says the best remedy for her to heal is to stay at
home in a locked room. Her husband took away her tools for writing and put her
upstairs in a room surrounded by yellow wallpaper. This is a primary source because
Charlotte writes through her own lens and experience. Describing this source to
someone that is unfamiliar, I would summarize how her husband was controlling the
decisions for her life. How in a period of time, men would feel that they could control
their wives once they were living in the same household. This source helps my
argument because I can write about how women feel like theyre being controlled and
how society places a label on marriages. Although I would need more information on
the time period and where exactly the inequality began.
Jackson, Shirly. We Have Always Lived In The Castle. Viking Press, 21 Sept. 1962
Lilia Vasghanian 2
In Shirly Jackson’s book We Have Always Lived In The Castle, the reader is
introduced to gender inequality and different roles being played in the household.
This source would be convenient for me to use because I could use the example of
Merricat and Constance playing the female role in the house. Whereas Uncle Julian
lies in his bed and doesnt help with any chores around the house. To explain this
source to someone thats unfamiliar with the book, I would have to explain to them the
simple storyline of the book. How Merricat is the reason why her family is dead. This
book is a secondary source that helps me prove my point. I could grab scenes from the
book where Merricat and Constance cook and clean the house. This source helps me
visualize the roles being put in a household that has set responsibilities.
Ortiz-Ospina, Esteban, and Max Roser. Economic Inequality by Gender. Our World in
Data, 21 Mar. 2018, ourworldindata.org/economic-inequality-by-gender.
This article written by Esteban Ortiz-Ospina and Max Roser shows us the different
advantages men have over women. For example, when a female and male are working
the same job, how the man gets more benefits and higher pay. Women also aren’t
recognized as much as they should in their jobs. Other advantages include men having
the privilege of owning their own property and buying land, whereas most women
don’t earn that right easily. I find this source very helpful due to the fact I am able to
click on the link by the different kinds of gender inequalities. This source fills my
research topic because it gives me examples of ways women are not treated equally. I
feel I am on the same viewpoint and side as I was before I found this secondary
source.
Quinlan, Mary Lou. Gender Inequality in the Workplace Is Not Just a Women’s Issue. The
Washington Post, WP Company, 26 Jan. 2018,
This article was written by author and speaker Mary Lou Quinlan. In this article,
published January of 2018, Mary Lou talks about the recent Me Too Campaign that
has moved a whole community. A simple tweet hashtag has shook the whole nation.
The whole scene is about women not being simply recognized and treated equally in
their workforce. The movement has to do with women being sexually assaulted in the
workforce This source is credible for me to use in my essay because it gives me a
specific movement that has occured to help change the outcome. This secondary
source fits into my research because I am writing about how women and men are
treated unfairly together. Someone that is not familiar with this, would be confused at
first. But to briefly explain, it all started from a hashtag that later led to women
beginning to protest in demands for change and recognition.
