1) Our thesis: Feminism have progressed differently around the world but it could not be denied that it had become a controversial global  issue that needs to be solved.

Does this thesis need to be changed? Too board? Not argumentative enough?

2)We will include  description papers about feminism from different countries. Our scholarly papers talks about then and now of feminism.

Does our approach fit in/help   with our thesis?

3) Not really a question but we don’t know how to make a wordpress or a website.

Martin Luther king

It was as if no one

Will know my name

Until that one speech

That inspired people to

Take action

Take a stand against

Moral injustice

It was as if the voices of my people

Were being ignored

Until we fought back

With me as their leader

Peacefully

Proudly

What if

The fourth of April in 1968

Never happen….

They shut me up in Prose –

As when a little Girl

They put me in the Closet –

Because they liked me “still”   –

                            ­-They shut me up in Prose by Emily Dickinson

Well-known American poet, Emily Elizabeth Dickinson’s “They shut me up in Prose” poem could be view as a rebellion against social standard.  Usage of constrictive dictions such as “shut,” “closet” and “still,” and placement of emphasis on certain words by capitalizing it mid line or mid-sentence, Dickinson exemplified the difficulties of a female hoping to seek recognition or exploration in a profession that is male dominated.

The combination of “Prose,” “Girl”, “Closet,” and placing it in that order in the poem, the reader can create the image of a little girl (the speaker) with her writing (a form of expression), being confined in a closet, trapped. “Shut me up in Prose” can be interpreted as someone trying to closes her or limits her to just writing in prose. The speaker is not allow to experiment in other form of writing because it is not her place. “Still” is repeated in the next line with an exclamation to stress how ridiculous the speaker fined this notation to be. If given a chance to examine the speaker’s thought, they will realize that their attempt to silence her is unsuccessful.

Most Powerful Women In Business

On September of 2014, Fortune magazine came out with 50 Most Powerful Women in Business. The MPW list (Most Powerful Women) was started in 1998 to give recognition to influential women in the business world. Besides listing the ranking of these women, Fortune provides their age, title, company name and industry. According to Fortune Editors, they considered four criteria:

1. The size and importance of the woman’s business in the global economy
2. The health and direction of the business
3. The arc of the woman’s career (resume and runway ahead)
4. Social and cultural influence

The 2014 list included a record high of 24 women CEOs. Which includes:

1. Ginni Rometty: CEO of IBM
2. Mary Barra: Auto industry’s first female CEO of General Motors
3. Indra Nooyi: CEO of PepsiCo
4. Marillyn Hewson: CEO of Lockheed Martin

Besides the increase of women CEOs, the success of women can be seen in the type of industry they thrived in when comparing to Fortune’s 1998 list. Most of the 50 women in the 1998 list succeed in industries that focused on creativity: advertising, media, entertainment, and publishing. For example, Oprah Winfrey was ranked second for her influence in the entertainment industry. As the Julie Creswell, author of 1998 list, pointed out, “No top women at blue-chip firms like IBM, Dell, Compaq, or Intel.” In order to be deem blue-chip, the company has to be nationally recognized, and financially stable. To comment on this achievement, Jennifer Reingold writes, “Creativity is still a requirement for success, of course, but you no longer have to work in a ‘creative’ industry to advance as a woman.”
