In his essay, “Women’s Brains”, Stephen Jay Gould discusses the incorrect and often biased research of women’s intelligence based on data written by craniometrometer Paul Broca. While Gould does not come out and blatantly say it, I believe that he is using this essay to appeal to a more open minded individual who will take the data presented to them, and formulate their own opinions and ideas based off of what Gould has projected. I believe that Gould is actually a very liberal-minded person, and is uses this essay to subtly recognize the change and contrast between the female standings in the 1800s, and the female standings in present day.…

Adding on, David Brooks displays that women outperform men in education. To demonstrate, Brooks wrote “ This year, 133 women will graduate from college for every 100. By decade’s end, according to Department of Education projections, there will be 142 female graduates for every 100 male graduates.” So, this…
What makes someone capable? Although people may not want to admit it, the public will often evaluate an individual’s ability based on their gender, race, social class, and overall appearance. Marie Curie is remembered and praised as one of the greatest scientists of all time for her discovery of radioactivity. However, she had to work extra hard to even be considered a scientist due to her being a lower- class woman who lacked the opportunities that her peers received. Her colleagues’ prejudice caused them to degrade her ideas and even work against her for a long period of time. Marie Curie went on to make great strides in the scientific community and win two nobel peace prizes, proving that the concept of a capable person is not always black…
When an individual considers famous work from past mathematicians’, men are generally the one’s that come to mind. Of course Emmy Noether was not a man, but proved that women can do the same work as men and excel in the same areas. During Noether’s era, she faced discrimination at the university level, but went on to pursue her desires and to teach mathematics.…
Throughout time, women have always been seen as the weaker sex of the human race. Not only have they been considered weaker, but also intellectually inferior to men. Women were considered to be better suited for roles inside the home as a wife and a mother. They have had fewer legal rights and career opportunities. In the 20th century, women won the right to vote and also increased their educational and job opportunities. With these opportunities, women have merged onto the workforce and political stages.…
For years society has created many different stereotypes for several different types of individuals. The Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) fields intimidate most women since society has capitalized it to be a male dominated field. This could be because men were the first to study the STEM fields and have succeeded greatly. Yet it is very rare for women to succeed in the math and science field due to the fact that they feel as if they didn’t have the potential to succeed simply because they are females.…
The role and status of women in our society has changed noticeably over the last 150 years. Women had very few legal rights and most societies placed women in an inferior positions compared to that of men. Women were also held to be less intelligent and less creative by nature. This was evident through out many fields such as employment, although over the years many non-legal and legal actions have taken place to change and move women towards equality.…
About 50 percent of the students receiving science and engineering degrees are women (Amarante) Despite that half of the women are receiving STEM degrees, only a quarter of the positions in STEM jobs are filled by women. (Mendoza) Additionally,…
To start off, more and more women are receiving bachelor degrees, and the signs are just looking brighter and brighter. In the year 1981, women and men had about the same number of bachelor degrees conferred, at about 480,000 each. Since then women have had a constant increase, leaving the number of degrees to be hundreds of thousands higher. At the end of 2006, there were about 900,000 bachelor degrees for women, leaving a measly 600,000 for men (Source E). If women had the upper hand by 300,000 back in 2006, the based on the statistics of this graph, the number of recipients has only gone up on the road to modern-day, 2016. Based on this, the number of women with bachelor degrees in 2016 is most-likely surpassed 1,000,000. Gender equality in education is clearly present, and shows that women really are more capable than…

For centuries women have been under great scrutiny due to their physical ability, thought processes, and the roles they play in society. The abilities of women were often matched up against those of men to measure their performance and, more often than not, women were seen as second- rate to men. As time marched on, women fought for their rights and finally established their position in society as equals to men. Still, women today often find situations with jobs in which men hold a dominate stature.…
Women are “better educated than men” and in the family “the wife and husband” both do not consider the other smarter(David Cauchon). The line between who is better is getting thinner. It used to be the man is the more suppeurory. Men were given more education and therefore they were considered more smarter. But now both genders are given the same education and women are proving to be more smarter and more devoted than men. They became what men are supposed to be. Men were the one’s that got education and went to school. Now both genders both go to school and get the same education. Women are more likely to succeed and go to college. But most of those women become a stay at home…
