      This article portrays the theme of class conflict in AROOO, which relates to the class conflict between low class workers and their superiors. This article portrays the "inequalities are the effect of larger systems", directly relating to the farmers and owners who are trapped in something larger than themselves. This quote also illustrates the motive for which rebellion takes place, in the form of writing books like AROOO or through strikes in the work force.

Gender Wage Gap: Are you paid as much as a man if he had your job? - 0 views

  • Women working full time—not part time, not on maternity leave, not as consultants—still earn only 77 cents for every full-time male dollar.
  • If you’re a young woman who graduated last summer from high school, you will earn $700,000 less than the young man standing in line with you to get his diploma over your working life.

    Just a bunch of helpful statistical data about women being paid less; even during modern days. Also would have been relatively helpful on the woman essay from her little essay

SparkNotes: A Room of One's Own: Analysis - 0 views

  • These conditions—leisure time, privacy, and financial independence— underwrite all literary production, but they are particularly relevant to understanding the situation of women in the literary tradition because women, historically, have been uniformly deprived of those basic prerequisites.
  • She writes a history of a woman's thinking about the history of thinking women: her essay is a reconstruction and a reenactment as well as an argument.

    The site points out that women of back in the day were often unable to write a book simply for lack of three conditions that even modern day workers often take for granted. They were always kept too busy with simple preoccupations to bother with spending some free time writing books I also think the site made an interesting point in remarking that her style of writing is odd: she isn't talking about women's history, she's talking about thinking about it. Of course, it makes the book much more boring; however, it's a new and creative method of writing.

The History of Women's Rights - 0 views

    "the conditions in factories were hazardous, and their pay was lower than that of a man. In fact the husbands controlled their wives wages. At the same time the middle and upper class women were to stay idle and only to be decorative symbols of their husband's economic success." In the lower classes, women worked for low wages in dangerous conditions; in the higher classes, respectable women were not permitted to work, and were simply symbols of their husbands' success. Regardless of socioeconomic status, women were controlled, and had to be prim, proper, and feminine without appearing too independent or self-reliant.

  • In the end, it is inherited wealth and social standing that determine much more of one's destiny than is determined by talent and individual initiative

      This article illustrates the obvious class barriers within society in the early 1900s and displays the need for one to have money or "wealth" in order to amount to anything, similar to the claims of Virginia Woolf in AROOO. In addition, this article also explains the affect of these social barriers in society which do not allow lower class individuals to gain wealth or happiness, thus exterminating the hope toward the American Dream.

  • It is the tone of a woman almost in touch with her anger, who is determined not to appear angry, who is willing herself to be calm, detached, and even charming

      This article illustrates a connection between low class workers and women during Virginia Woolf's time due to its description of Woolf's tone in the story. Similar to workers, women try not to "appear angry" and instead try to appear "calm, detached, and even charming". This depicts the hatred that lurks in every oppressed group, such as women and low class workers, who are not able to stand up to the great force above them.

  • However, off the printed page, women have primarily played second-class roles, kept in place by men determined to dominate them.

      This article displays the similarities between women and the poor working class due to the evidence of social classes in each. In each group, there is a higher group which attempts to keeps the other group in place. This relates to women as well as the treatment of workers and the lack of ethics which businesses have due to their unreachable strength and tactics to suppress workers.
