Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that today's society is based on a gender binary that requires men and women to be opposites. Men are expected to be active and aggressive; women are expected to be inactive and passive. The writer discusses that women in sports directly challenge this gender binary - they are not passive, but rather the opposite of passive. The writer maintains that women in sports are sometimes subjected to the abuse and discrimination that all gender outlaws in our society attract. The writer points out that this issue is particularly marked in Canadian women's hockey. The women's team is far more successful than the men's team and yet most people don't even know it exists. The writer discusses that women playing hockey detract from the aggressive male image associated with male hockey, while at the same time challenging every tenet of the gender binary. The writer concludes that teenagers should be taught parenting skills of which an important part should be examining and unlearning the sexism they have already learned from society.

Explanation for the Issue and Plan of Action

From the Paper
"Thus, as soon as a woman is strong and brave, she is suddenly a suspect! No wonder no one pays any attention to Canada's women hockey players!
"What is the solution to this? Clearly, there has to be an education program to combat the enduring belief in biological essentialism. Children need to be taught from a very young age that all people are capable of all attributes. They need to understand that the various human qualities are a virtual smorgasbord, from which they can freely choose, regardless of their gender. They need to be exposed to role models of adults who transcend the usual norms."

Abstract
The paper discusses how our society is based on a gender binary that requires men and women to be opposites; men are expected to be active and aggressive; women are expected to be inactive and passive. The paper explains that along with this goes compulsory heterosexuality - by definition, women can only be sexually fulfilled when an active male "takes" them and fills their passive void with his active being. The paper points out that women in sports directly challenge this gender binary - they are not passive, but rather the opposite of passive. In other words, they behave as men are expected to do.

Abstract
This paper gives an in-depth analysis and description of the role of women in the Canadian social reform movement of 1870-1921. The paper further elaborates on the difficulty of finding a mention of women in many Canadian history books, and that the further back in history one delves, the harder it becomes. According to the paper, this belies the fact that Canadian women have historically played important roles in many aspects of Canadian society. This essay examines the role of Canadian women in the social reform movement, focusing on the role that Canadian women played in achieving social reform with regard to winning the vote for women.

"The fact that it is hard to find so much as a mention of women in many Canadian history books, and that the further back in history one delves, the harder it becomes, belies the fact that Canadian women have historically played important roles in many aspects of Canadian society. This essay examines the role of Canadian women in the social reform movement during the time period 1870-1921. In particular, this essay focuses on the role that Canadian women played in achieving social reform with regard to winning the vote for women. Suffrage is the focus, because it is argued that once women had a political voice, other social reforms..."

Sexual Discrimination against Canadian Women Canada has attempted to outlaw sexual discrimination against women by means of legislation such as the Bill of Rights and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. However, it is argued in this essay that discrimination against Canadian women persists, as can be shown by looking at research in key areas, such as domestic labor, poverty and homelessness, and the workplace. This essay will argue that prejudice against women persists, with reference to several articles that argue this point, while focusing on different aspects of discrimination against women. It is necessary to first be clear on the term "sexual discrimination."

Abstract
The paper provides an overview of the hundreds of ways that Canadian women contributed to the war effort during the Second World War. The paper discusses the Canadian Women's Auxiliary Corps (CWAC), the Women's Division of the Royal Canadian Airforce (RCAF), the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service, the Canadian Red Cross Corps and the nurses in the armed forces. The paper portrays the variety of jobs Canadian women did during the Second World War and contends that the Allies could not have won the war without their help.

From the Paper
"When people think about the Second World War they think about the men who lost their lives in battle and the Jews and other minorities who died in the Holocaust. They think about the Germans, versus the Allies, Hitler and Churchill, and Guns, bombs and maybe even a naval battle. Rarely do thoughts of the Second World War bring to mind images of women. When people think about the Allied victory and the factors that allowed the Allies to win rarely are women remembered. Canadian women, living in a country not directly affected by the war are often forgotten. The Canadian women however did not just stay at home and wait for their men to come home. They too wanted to see an end to this war and they too helped with the war effort. There were many options available to Canadian women, and over a million women signed up to help in any way they could. These women made a significant difference not only to their own country but to other allied nations as well. The Allies could not have won the Second World War without the efforts of Canadian women."

Abstract
This paper examines the roles of Canadian women on the home front and overseas during World War II, and analyzes why Canadian women returned to their traditional gender roles after the war was won. The author notes that because millions of Canadian women had not served, they and millions of Canadian men whose ideas of gender roles had never changed, exerted significant pressure to conform on former servicewomen, due to society's rigid expectations that the proper place for Canadian women was in the home.

Abstract
This paper reveals the direct relationship between college degree and entrepreneurship that is a positive factor as women are now the largest population in education and the workforce. The paper points out that barriers to women in the high tech industries have diminished, yet they still do not enter the high tech business world.

From the Paper
"The high tech field has a well documented shortage of women in all aspects of the industry, from staffing, to leadership, to ownership, and in research. Given these shortages in the workforce, it is no wonder that Canadian women are also under-represented as high tech entrepreneurs. But, a trend that shows great promise for the future of female entrepreneurship, especially in the high tech industry! There is a relationship between Canadian women attaining a college degree and their..."

From the Paper
"There is a popular saying that opines, "Money doesn't buy happiness." However, most people suspect this is not true - hence for example the enduring popularity of gambling and other optimistic get rich quick schemes. However, is it really true that higher socio-economic status is the ticket to a higher level of life satisfaction? This essay examines the ..."
