Annotated Bibliography
Topic: Women inequality in the work place.
1. Mankiw, Gregory. “Labor-Force Participation of Men and Women in the U.S. Economy.” Principles of Economics. Ohio. Thomson, 2007. 617-618. Print
This paragraph of the book explains with statistics how women progress since 1950 until 2007 in the labor force. It also explains what factor change the men dominance in the labor force as women are getting closer to the percentage that men have in the workplace.
The statistics show that when women where faced as equal to men through the years, there was an increase in the woman workplace with similar numbers to those of men. I will use these statistics in the introduction part to support my ideas in the following parts.
2. Barrett, Judy. “ Women Employment of.” Americans at war. (2005): 205-208. B. Davis Schwartz Memorial Library. Web. 15 March 2010.
This article focuses on the World War I and World War II. This wars open oportunities for women to work.Also this article provides statistics of specific jobs that were before solely for men and how women in those areas increase during and after the wars.
These evidence will provide some background information about the women role in the 19th century. In addition I will use these information to provide a more accurate introduction.
3. Marthur-Helm, Babita. “Women and the glass ceiling in South African banks: an illusion or reality?” Bradford, 2006. 311. B. Davis Schwartz Memorial Library. Web. 15 March 2010.
This research shows that women have invisible glass ceilings in their jobs. A very low percentage of women manage to get to the higher positions in their jobs. Also it provides some reasons that this glass ceiling exist.
This research shows that there is clearly some inequality between men and women in the workplace due to many reasons that I will state in the research.
4.William A, Ed. “Discrimination, Wage.” Measuring Wage Discrimination. (2008):400-401 B. Davis Schwartz Memorial Library. Web. 15 March 2010.
This research says that there is discrimination in the wage of women and men. Women tend to get lower wages than men.
This will support my hypothesis that women tend to be treated unequal. Also I will develop ideas in the main body of the essay.
5.Erochine, Pavel. “Glass Ceilling.” International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences.(2008):325-326. B. Davis Schwartz Memorial Library. Web. 15 March 2010.
This article states the different reasons why women are treated unequal and also the reasons why there is the barriers that prevent women of achieving a better rank in their jobs.
This article will further support my hypothesis, and therefore make my thesis statement more convincing: that even today there is inequality present between women and men.

For Article 2, 3, 4, which seem to come from databases of our library, you should provide the name of the databases, too.
And for Article 3, according to the title, it is about "South African banks". Is it about a general study to glass ceiling in worldwide, or just a specific case within a limited scope? Especially you have to see whether it is a place where women's status is much lower than any other places. That is, whether the research shows most women's situation.

Should i make the corrections and re-post here or on my essay ? Also on the 3 article it is a little bit narrowed down to the African women so i will change that. Thanks in advance.
