Abstract
This paper analyzes the situation of under-privileged girl children in India in terms of the education system there. The paper makes this analysis through the examination of the interplay of several historical, social, cultural and political factors. The paper relates that it was during the end of the nineteenth century, when the Indian government realized the need for the education of women. The paper further relates that measures adopted during the later years, proved insufficient and, at the time of independence, the government was faced with the formidable task of educating a large section of the uneducated, illiterate population. The paper notes that the government of India thus under took several policies to improve girls' accessibility to education, at least during the early years of the child's life. The paper then points out that it has been widely perceived that bridging the gender gap in education will provide an effective solution to the problem of gender equality. This paper re-examines this contention.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Unequal gender relations may arise due to domestic violence, stress as well as cultural practices of exclusion. These factors, not only promote unequal gender relations but also impact gender related development outcomes. It has been argued that irrespective of the overall socio-economic background, in most cases views on femininity come in conflict with the goals of education, which are directed towards survival and unity. Although education emphasizes on independence and promotes a spirit of inquiry, traditional notions of femininity seek; to create a docile and submissive character of the girl child."

Abstract
This paper examines the topic of gender inequality and presents a review of literature that supports the argument that stereotypical roles of gender have led to inequality in marriages and gender relationships, which in turn, have impacted the ability of women to become truly financially and emotionally secure.

From the Paper
"The issue of gender inequality in relationships is of great social concern, especially in light of the increasing divorce rate and the growing numbers of single mothers bringing up children. The increasing break down of the traditional family structure implies the need for women to be more and more financially independent. Yet, a review of literature on the subject indicates that gender inequality in relationships persists and has led to a situation where women are still unable to break the traditional stereotype of the female role and focus on developing an independent career."

Abstract
This paper explains that, despite the historical contribution of women to the economy of the Sub-Saharan African region during the pre-colonial era; today, women face formidable social and economic barriers, which exploit them. The paper points out the history, effects and possible solutions to gender inequality in politics and economics in this region. The paper also discusses the need for agricultural education for women to increase productivity and a constitutionally defined quota system to boost female participation. The paper concludes that gender inequality in politics and economics in Sub-Saharan Africa is an obstacle to the development of the region.

From the Paper
"The second strategy suggested is to act immediately to increase the productivity of subsistence producers. Immediate gains could be realized by increasing women's access to land credit, tools and appropriate technologies. The third strategy suggested is to change the definitions and assumptions made by conventional development policies in order to collect information that creates a realistic picture of subsistence economies. Personally, I believe they are other steps that could be taken by governments in Sub-Saharan Africa that could improve women's political and economical participation."

Abstract
Gender inequality is a worldwide epidemic that has plagued our society and others since the beginning of time. This paper attempts to look at how society and its members address the myriad of other issues (i.e., racism, classism, ageism, etc.) that are intricately interwoven into this deeply seeded and complex issue. An examination of these issues takes place through the summary of three journal articles in addition to other readings regarding the aforementioned theme of gender inequality.

Introduction
Personal Reflection

From the Paper
"In the first reading, Age, Race, Class, and Sex: Women Redefining Difference, the article's author, Lorde (1997), attributes the continued oppression and dehumanization of women not as the sole existence of differences, rather as the inability to recognize and appreciate those differences. The article's author also points out that the inability to deal effectively with differences causes distortions in which individuals tend to ignore or even misname the definition of others. Lorde (1997) utilizes many of Freire's (1970:93) concepts regarding relationships as defined by oppression and stresses the importance of collaboration, self-reflection, and exposure to and appreciation of differences.

Abstract
This paper analyzes issues of gender inequality and the relevance of feminist epistemology in information systems. It reviews three articles, "Feminist Philosophy and Information Systems" by Alison Adam and Helen Richardson, "The Army and the Microworld: Computers and the Politics of Gender Identity" by Paul Edwards and "Slouching Toward the Ordinary: Current Trends in Computer Mediated Communication" by Susan Herring.

From the Paper
"In conclusion, these three articles on gender role allocations within CMC and IS provide a varied, yet informative view of the historical, social, and feminist ideology of patriarchal systems. However, it is the Adam and Richardson article that best defines the role of empiricism and objectivity in determining the epistemological problems of patriarchal constructs in computer communications. Although a historical analysis of the feminist movement and the current issues of generational decay may inherently be problematic in modern IS, the issue a feminist ideology that must define the reality of gender disparity is the more important premise of the research done by Adam and Richardson."

Abstract
The paper focuses on how the US public reacted to having both a minority and a woman running for the highest office in the land and reveals that while racism is a much more recognized problem in America, sexism seems to be a much bigger problem. The paper shows how although women are making real strides in their effort to achieve full equality, recent events and studies portray just how far women still have to go in order to overcome gender inequality.

From the Paper
"There seems to be a popular belief in today's American society that gender inequality is largely a thing of the past. As the belief goes, it was an issue that was big in the 1960s, along with all those other messy social issues such as racism and war protests. It is funny how these issues seem to pop up from time to time. Today, the United States is again involved in an unpopular war, the successful candidacy of President-elect Obama has forced once again brought the issue of race to the forefront, and the unsuccessful candidacies of Senator Hillary Clinton and Governor Sarah Palin have made Americans once again consider their attitudes toward gender. Unfortunately, what we have seen in recent months is that gender is still an issue for many people in our society, though a much more subtle one than it was forty years ago."

Abstract
The paper explores how we moved from the rampant sexism of the fifties to this time where women are actively making their mark, enough so for it to be a "crummy time to be a boy?" To answer this, the paper examines the gender inequalities that occurred in the nineteen fifties in the home, work and social spheres and sees how that led to the rise of women's pride and achievement.

From the Paper
"Throughout our American and world history, the human race has been riddled with inequality and bigotry. In America itself, we can certainly say our past has been patchy and fraught with the struggle to uphold the constitutional standard of "equality for all." More so than ever, women have been caught in the struggle for equal rights in every strata: from the home to the workplace to the general societal standards that have put upon women since history was recorded. Even still, the nineteen fifties were a time when gender inequality was at its worst. We have come so far and, according to Douglas Todd from "In a girl's world," "The notion of...""

Abstract
The paper demonstrates how, although some gains have been made, women still have not achieved equality in the Canadian labour market. The paper argues that this reflects a lingering, pervasive and in fact systemic inequality of the sexes within our society. The paper discusses how despite the fact that legislative protections exist, there still needs to be a great deal of societal change before women will achieve true substantive equality in the labour force and other aspects of society. Therefore, this paper advocates that policy changes should be made at federal and provincial government levels to encourage such change.

From the Paper
"Canada has enacted many legislative devices to try to make sure that women do not suffer discrimination in any sphere. However, as this paper will show, although some gains have been made, women still have not achieved equality in the Canadian labour market. It will be argued that this reflects a lingering, pervasive and in fact systemic inequality of the sexes within our society. Despite the fact that legislative protections exist, there stills needs to be a great deal of societal change before women will achieve true substantive equality in the labour force and other aspects of society. Therefore, this essay will advocate that policy..."
