In “Women Don’t Ask” by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever, Linda Babcock investigates whether or not women get less of what they want because they simply do not ask for it. Linda heard from an associate dean that women do not ask for greater opportunities, men do. Through her investigations, Linda found that the difference between salaries of different genders was extremely significant; it differed by an estimated four thousand dollars. Those who did ask for a higher salary saw an increase of nearly the same amount, four thousand dollars. Linda then conducted another study, involving both genders playing a game, and being awarded money; if the participants asked for more money, they would receive it.
Throughout her book, Robbins uses the same argument technique. For instance, when Robbins writes about Taylor in one chapter, she explains how almost everyone has a college counselor, but more specifically Taylor’s’ is very hard on her, insisting that all three of her college essays weren’t good nor intellectual enough. Thus, Robbins dives into the consequences of overpaid counselors explaining that some even are paid to do the essay. “Instead of merely helping students present themselves in the best light, companies are fiddling with their content and some consultants actually write the essays themselves” (Robbins pg.75) Robbins tells the reader this information to help with her argument by showing what consequences comes out of the overachieving culture. Another character Robbins uses to create her argument is Sam.

“College Girl to Call Girl” & “Canadians: What do they want?” “College Girl to Call Girl” Sarah Schmidt’s personal essay “College Girl to Call Girl” discusses a growing number of middle class women who are turning to one of the “oldest” professions of time, and that is prostitution. In combining her research with multiple interviews, statistical analysis, and consulting numerous sources, Sarah sets out to answer whether the practice is unavoidable. She brings forth different women during the essay, who outline their own personal experiences while working in the off-street prostitution trade. Sarah focuses on students only because during her research she comes across the horrible discovery that majority of the young women who take part in off-street prostitution, are middle-class students who are just trying to pay for their rising tuition. Sarah also provides reason for the high increase over the past decade in off-street prostitution, stating that the underlying problem is a result of the significant increase in tuition over the past decade.
Ann Crittenden’s “The Mommy Tax” claims the ideal worker is one who is free to focus solely on his job. This is a problem for women, who ponder the idea of having children and for those who already have children. Because a woman has the capability of having a child, she already poses a threat to an ideal worker. Crittenden also presents a study that focuses on the gender difference in time taken off from work. Former women University of Michigan Law students were found to have taken an average of 3.3 months of leave plus 10.1 months of part-time work during their first 15 years.
Let’s first start of by saying that America has yet to have a female president, and let’s also state the fact that as I studied in class, women make up only 17% of national legislatures worldwide. Now why is this? The only explanation I can come up with is the world isn’t ready yet for us. But besides from my own personal opinion, Patricia Hill Collins focuses in her article, “Gender, Black Feminism, and Black Political Economy” how the experiences of Black women help people to understand the high rates of poverty and inequality. She also talks about how categories such as gender, race and class are not “free standing distinct systems” but instead “mutually constructing” intersecting systems, which doesn’t play much to her favor since she is a black female.
