Abstract
Examines how the gender roles for women in the workplace and in the home have changed and how they haven't. Discusses the additional burden women are faced with in carrying out their duties as compared to the duties of men, and suggests some possible solutions to the working woman's dilemma.
From the Paper
"Although many women value the opportunity to choose a career, they are frustrated because gender roles in the household haven?t changed to accommodate their participation in the workforce. This dissatisfaction is further compounded by the discrimination and harassment they encounter in their jobs. Returning to older gender roles in the 1950s isn?t the solution. Instead, household and corporate cultures need to adjust for the increased participation of women in the workforce over the past forty years and the financial reality that few families can make ends meet on one income."

From the Paper
"The researcher stipulates that this societal belief has dominated political, as well as social organizations. This belief has further led many women to believe that in order to reduce stress they must leave the workforce. Yet, Barnett concludes that the evidence indicates that employment is generally not the primary cause of stress for women, the home life is. In light of these conclusions, Barnett suggests that psychiatrists take a new approach to assisting patients that appear to be overcome by stress."

Abstract
This paper explains that the terms "masculinity" and "femininity" are the most difficult to define because the popular explanation of these terms generally has more to do with gender stereotypes than any definable quality of social behavior. The author points out that many social scientists and psychologists argue that it is healthier to be "process-oriented", by choosing behavior based on what is appropriate to the person's needs and the situation at the time, rather than to be "role-oriented" by choosing behavior appropriate to the role society has given them regardless of the situation. This paper emphasizes, that to break the cycle of gender typing, it is necessary to change the popular conception of gender, beginning with the individual, proceeding through families and affecting institutions such as schools and the workplace.
From the Paper
"In American society, early sexual contact is considered more desirable or at least acceptable for boys than for girls. Thus, in a 1989 study of 16 to 25 year-olds in Los Angeles, the average age for first intercourse among boys was 14.9 years, while girls were a year behind at 15.9 years of age. However, this difference has been narrowing in recent years as more girls become sexually active at a younger age. Men's tendency to be more sexually active is related to the traditional assignment of sexual virility as a quality desirable in men. According to the ideals of Western culture, males are supposed to desire sex and take the initiative in sexual activity. This leads to problems in a role-oriented sexual relationship, where women often report attaining less satisfaction in sex due to society-enforced passivity."

Gender Stereotyping in the Workplace, 2007.
This paper is a step-by step research proposal to explore gender stereotyping in the workplace.

Abstract
This paper explains that social psychology knowledge leads to the identification and challenge of gender stereotypes, to the identification of other ways of thinking about stereotypes and to the breaking of stereotypes. The author points out that an experimental design can be drawn to test the hypotheses that there is a difference in gender stereotypes for higher position and lower position employees and that there is the possibility that human resources management employees are more prejudiced by (more affected by) concerns about gender roles. The paper suggests a questionnaire describing an ambiguous workplace situation, which is followed by a series of specific questions to be rated on a five-point Likert scale.
From the Paper
"The study of social psychology can be of a great help to identify the stereotypes and the way they interact with our lives. A great body of research suggests that stereotypes are implicit, unconscious. In the workplace, however, they are more obvious, due to the fact that they appear repeatedly, and generate aversive behaviors as an outcome of unfairness. This is also true in socio-political context. Because stereotypes are implicit, the social psychology research and methods or simply the great amount of information on this subject would be very helpful for at least to gain awareness on the existence of such processes."

Abstract
This paper discusses gender bias in the workplace and focuses on the distinction made between a man and woman in a working environment on the basis of professionalism, integrity, and respect. This paper emphasizes the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 and how several women have used it to fight for their rights. The paper gives real examples of organizations that suffered as a result of gender distinction and represents the true scenario of gender bias in today?s world.
From the Paper
"Even after great advancements made by mankind in possibly all the fields of life, gender distinction between a man and woman still exists. The portraiture of power and the roles of gender in a prevalent culture reverberate meaningful patrimonial control, with the maneuvering of a female gender an appurtenant element of its objective. Women working in a professional environment have to prove their importance within the acrimonious periphery created by men. Despite the changes, which have been brought in by many laws and movements, women today still do not enjoy a working environment where they would be given a status equal to that of a man."

From the Paper
"Women were mistreated in factory jobs, but in this, they were no different from men. Women were usually kept in women?s only dormitories; the social environment in which they operated was completely controlled by the company where they worked. In cities, women were employed as seamstresses in sweatshops and were usually paid by the piece. Immigrants always kept the pay low, and poor working conditions met with tragedy in 1911, when 141 women working at the Triangle Waist Company died in a fire or trying to escape the conflagration by jumping out the window.

Abstract
This paper recounts the personal experience of a male employee of one of the El Pollo Loco fast food chain stores The author explains that he was chosen to be promoted to assistant manager at the store he worked at over his friend and female co-worker who was equally qualified for the position. The author also discusses the insight he gained from the experience concerning the ways women are discriminated against in the workplace.
From the Paper
"Sexual discrimination is a reality in the workforce. Despite many recent and well- publicized advances of individual women in business, and some prominent examples of female leadership of once male-dominated corporate entities, in the everyday experience of most workers, common workplace relations remain 'gendered' in terms of leadership. Gender constructs that favor promoting males to positions of leadership still affect the perceptions of managers, and their employees. I know this from my own personal experience, even though I am male."

From the Paper
"Since the last decade, the methods of acquisition and display of power for women generally has changed. As gender equality is being more emphasized, especially in business, women have found themselves in an uneasy position. Their self-perception has changed to a more masculine tradition, as the society expect women to act like men in order to compete inside organizations. Consequently, some women have learned the route to gain power and that is, to use handshake as often as men do."

Abstract
This essay serves to examine the wage inequalities between men and women in the modern day workforce. It references two specific examples of gender discrimination; Ann Hopkins? suit against Price Waterhouse in 1982 and Muriel Kraszewski?s suit against State Farm. The author also explains in detail the ramifications of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which attempts to protect the rights of women who work in the same jobs as men.
From the Paper
"In order to fully gain equal employment and fairness, traditionally male positions must be opened to females. This is the only way to shatter the glass walls and ceilings that are so prevalent in today?s society. Many women have fought discrimination and improved their own lives and the lives of countless other women over the span of several generations. The first step in creating equality in the workplace is to inform women of their rights. The next step is for these women to exercise their rights. Women can no longer allow themselves to be excluded from the workforce. Individuals concerned about equality should press for the continuation and strengthening of better paying jobs for women, and this support must not come from women alone. In order for our society to foster this change, we must understand why these changes are necessary. Society requires that men and women work together and this is not likely to change. What must change is the way that we work together. "

Abstract
This paper briefly discusses trends in society that may stop women advancing in their careers or entering a traditionally male type of employment. It explains that, while changes have taken place over the years, there is still much that needs to be improved before equal opportunities in job markets can exist.
From the Paper
"Gender differences in the workplace has long been the subject of anti-discrimination laws and movements. This is especially true of male-dominated industries such as engineering, firefighting, police work, space travel, etc. Currently society appears to support women doing any kind of work they wish, whether it be a direction that women traditionally choose or not. Many more paths are open to women than was previously the case. However, the attitude of some men (and even women) to this new social paradigm is often more difficult to change than the paradigm itself. When examples are considered of women in traditionally male-dominated professions, it is clear that some attitudes leave much to be desired. On the other hand, this kind of negative attitude in many cases serves simply to inspire women further to make a success under these difficult circumstances."

From the Paper
Recent linguistic research has centered its attention on the difference between the way men and women communicate in the workplace. Deborah Tannen, Ph.D. has extended her interest in the manner women and men communicate as expressed in You just don't understand (1990). In Talking from 9 to 5 (1994) Tannen scrutinizes how women's and men's conversational styles at work affects "who gets heard, who gets credit, and what gets work done". Tannen's research focuses on conversational rituals, apologies, indirectness, authority and status. Tannen emphasizes that the way people talk influences who attains power. "The ability to influence others, to be listened to, to get your way rather than having to do what others want" defines power (Tannen, 1994, p. 317). Tannen suggests that to learn more about gender..."
