This article is about the pay gaps women face in the workplace. It goes into a
lot of the history for example the equal pay act and how feminism started. I
used this in the beginning of my essay to give a brief history on how
discrimination for women in the workforce all started. It gave me some great
background information to base my waves explanation off of. This article
provided some great examples of these gender gaps that I incorporated into
my article. I know this is a trusted source because this is one of the websites
the librarian at LSU showed us how to used. Then end of the article also has
contact information and a lot of trusted work cited sources. The author
Thomas Billitteri is a journalist with bachelors in English and a masters in
journalism from Indiana University with more than 30 years of experience.

Johnson, Michelle. "Women and Work." CQ Researcher 26 July 2013: 645-68. Web. 8 Nov. 2016.

This article covers a wide variety of topics. It talks about women in the
working force before and after the war. Explanations for the gender pay gap
such a women tend to go for the softer sciences. This article even talks
about sexual harassment and gives examples of how it has effected women.

I incorporated gender inequality into my paper from this article to relate back
to my topic as why that is a cause of gender pay gaps. I also got more
information on somethings the government is doing to close the gap such as
the Fair Pay Act. I know this is a trusted resource because it is under the
LSUs library databases as well as a lengthy work cited. The author Michelle
Johnson is an editor in Winston-Salem, N.C. with more than 20 years of
experience and a bachelors degree as well as a graduate certificate in

Adams, Bob. "The Glass Ceiling." CQ Researcher 29 Oct. 1993: 937-60. Web. 8 Nov. 2016.

This article is all about the term glass ceiling which is a term meaning the
invisible limit on the height a woman can climb in a job or profession. The
paper talks about different reasons why this term even exist as well as great
examples and statistics to prove it is happening even more. The article
covers information from WII to now. I used this paper to compare glass
ceiling with another term I introduce glass escalator which is a term meaning
the males fast climb to
higher positons in a women dominated profession. This paper helped me get
examples as well as more information on glass ceilings. I know this is a
trusted article because I found it on CQ researcher which is a website listed
on the LSUs library resources. It also has a large work cited telling me where
all the information came from.
Conley, Dalton. You May Ask Yourself. W.W. Norton & Company, 2008.

This book is a book that was required for my sociology class and one of the
chapters in the book talk about gender. I used this chapter to talk about
gender roles as well as some theories that are associated with them and how
they relate to the gender gap. The main three theories I talk about in my
paper are sex role theory, psychoanalytic theories, and conflict theories.
These theories talk about how women are for domesticated duties and how
men benefit from that. This is a great topic to talk about in my paper to show
how males views on women affect the gender gap. I know this is a credible
resource because this is a book assigned to me at a university. The back of
the book has a bibliography as well that is thirty pages long. The author
Dalton Cooley is an American sociologist as well as a professor at Princeton
University.

This is a newspaper article about sexual harassment in California. The state

is now requiring stricture laws on sexual-harassment education. It gives
many examples and statistics that helped me in writing my paper. One of the
topics I touch on that has an effect on the gender gap is sexual harassment. I
used this paper to show some examples and back up my statements on how
this affects women in the workforce. I also used this one statistic about how
much the average company spends a year just from these cases to make
sure the reader can fully grasp how real and serious this is. I know I know this
is a credible site because I found it searching in discovery which is a library

resource from LSU. Also it is a newspaper article in the NRN Editorial which
stands for Nations Restaurant News.

This I a magazine article that cover many topics I discuss in my paper. It

states that women hold more than half of the jobs in the United States

glass ceiling, discrimination, and unequal pay in my paper. I know this is a
credible article because it was found in the databases link off of the library
