This article was posted online. The article was very helpful for some key points that I can put into my paper. The title of the article was entitled "A witch, a bitch, or a goddess? Voices transcending gender as heard and recorded by Chekhov, Mansfield, and Nabkov". The title itself stood out to me and drew into the piece. I like the fact that it is not just written by women, this article is a collaboration of voices and brings into light the history of women and how they have been treated, and traditional roles of women. The times are changing and are steadily changing, women can now vote. They are rising to the same level economically with men and are becoming more and more equal to their counterparts.

This link was taken from a research database entitled EBSCO Host. This is taken from a psychology journal that was studying the gender identity and adjustment in black, Hispanic, and white preadolescences. This study followed 5th graders from these three different races and looked at what their thoughts and implications of gender identity were. Different races had a few different thought of gender roles, but collectively they had very similar ideas. I used this in my paper a little bit, mostly as a background for me for writing my paper.

<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/gender/gender1.htm>.

This is an article from The Washington Post. It's not the most current article, it was published in 1998 but it takes about how gender roles are rapidly changing and society needs to catch up with these changing times. I used some quotes and used quite a bit of information from this website. This was one of the more helpful websites that I found. I especially liked it because it is a news article it is much more simple and to the point than some of the scientific and highly educated articles that drag on and on. I have to search through a lot of stuff to find valuable information on the scientific articles, but on the news articles the reporter has already done that research for me and I have a lot more valuable information.

"Gender and Society." Trinity. 10 Mar. 2008. <http://www.trinity.edu/~Mkearl/gender.html>.

This article was taken from an educational website. I used this to read over but didn't use it extensively in my paper. Even though it is an educational website, I question it's credibility because there is no author and everything seems to be very broad. I mainly used this just to read over. The website talks about how gender roles have changed, and how much they still need to change. The last that this website talked about what the different factors that encourage gender roles, such as television, magazines, etc.

Goodman, Ellen. "Clinton, Obama Changing Gender Roles?" Real Clear Politics Feb. 2008. 10 Apr. 2008
<http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/02/clinton_obama_changing_gender.html>.

This online newspaper article was perfect for my paper. It adds a whole new element to my paper. I love politics and what is more edgy and current then the two Democratic running mates who could potentially become the next president of the United States of America. A woman has a very good chance of being the first female president. This is a great element that is highly discussed in this newspaper article and will be greatly discussed in my paper. Women are slowly but surely becoming equal with men in modern society. It has not always been that way but it steadily evolving to be that way. Hilary Clinton is a great example of how women are becoming equal with men.

I used this site to get the lyrics to Madonna's song "What it feels like for a girl" for my paper.
