Being a Daoist Priestess shows us that men weren’t the only type of human beings able to hold a place of power. By women obtaining property shows us that women could work for themselves and were independent from men. During this time women were quite happy with their rights, but the smile will soon be wiped off their faces because their rights just keep dwindling down to nothing. During the middle or end of the Tang dynasty and beginning of the Song dynasty women’s rights were at there “peak” and started to decline slowly. The Tang dynasty declined due to loss of communication throughout the empire, generals and officials gaining too much power, and revolts causing the empire to be weak and open for attack.
According to Denise Cormier currently women hold over fifty 50 percent of management and professional positions. Unfortunately, these highly educated and capable women are leaving positions of power and prestige in growing numbers. Studies have shown the financial benefits of women leaders in corporations versus all male leadership are still ostracized in the boardroom. Equally disturbing is the thought that women were leaving to pursue a family, so, one must wonder if there were exodus of men would the same belief be assumed (Cormier, 2007)? Cormier further determine thorough the interview of forty female from senior management positions to Chief Operating Officers from a variety of industries to determine what was causing the exodus.
Sondra Douglas English Honors Gifted- 4th Mrs. Hotlets March 4, 2014 Gender Inequality in the Workplace Gender inequality is the unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on gender. Over the last 50 years, the involvement of women and fairness has been a problem. Economically, women, particularly poor women and African American women did not fare well during this time period. Inequality grew as wages remained depressed and tax cuts to the wealthy failed to “trickle down” to the bottom of the economic ladder where nearly half of the female labor force was concentrated (Justin Karr pg. 41).

It was this growing awareness that women soon realised that their position within society was disproportionate to that of men as illustrated by Freeman (1971, p39), who states that “women are 51 percent of the population. That is the only category in which they constitute 51 percent. In virtually every other, their share is grossly disproportionate”. In addition, she articulates that during the 50’s and 60’s it became apparent that women were lower earners by almost double than men, they were not entitled to the same benefits of sick pay than men, and were subjected to gender discrimination within the working environment (Freeman, 1971). Through the women’s movement, women began to inspire protests and minorities such as civil rights, students, and blacks in an attempt to redefine public perception (McLaughlin, 2003).

Military organizations in general are often viewed as a “man’s job” by many because of the stereotypic male characteristics of combat positions such as aggression, courage, and strength. When women began being integrated into roles that were male-dominate many women experienced being treated differently because they were female. Women reported being treated differently in terms of being put in positions where they felt that they were at a disadvantage within the training and employment environment. The women also reported that their male counterparts would have in appropriate conversations with sexual content while in the presence of women co-workers. Although women reported these things in this study, it was also found that
