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. Many people assume that the job a woman would be working in a male environment such as mining must be as a secretary

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.
