Gluck completed her undergraduate work at Shimer College (the Great Books College of Chicago) in Illinois and completed advanced degree work at UCLA and University of California, Berkeley. Additional publications include ‘Women’s Words the Feminist Practice of Oral History (1991) and ‘An American Feminist in Palestine: The Intifada Years’ (1994). Gluck’s Rosie the Riveter Revisited: Women, The War, and Social Change is a collection of detailed oral histories that not only chronicle the lives of the ‘Rosie the Riveters’ (working-women during the WWII years), but encompasses the pre-war and post-war years of each interviewee. Gluck intertwines these interviews in such a way that she presents a somewhat comprehensive understanding of the daily routines of these ‘Rosie the Riveters.’ In addition to the personal experience aspect of her interviews, Gluck also directly busts the misrepresented mentality of women laying down tools and happily giving up their jobs to the returning military men. Gluck argues that the ‘Rosie’ era was bigger than the players involved and that it had direct effects on women’s accepted skill sets and ‘place’ within the working sector over the 3 decades following the end of WWII.

For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect.” Besides being known for her inspiring quotes she is also known for an incredible speech called “The Struggle of Human Rights.” I chose to examine this speech because she is a well-known public figure that I have learned about in my previous education. I gained knowledge of her background as a human rights advocate for people who do not have a voice of their own. This speech is extremely important because it marked the beginning of a new future for freedom of the people.
Although some perspectives on the subject claim women live in bad faith and put themselves in situations to be defined as a body part, if there was no routine of male’s looking or the notion to dominate and females attention starvation or feelings to please, there would be no need for a dominant and submissive relationship. Overall it seems woman will be in a constant battle overcoming their gender because it’s society and that’s just how it works. Whether it’s right or wrong, at the end of the day, if nothing drastic is done for change, then it is what it is and people will conform to
