Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz : 5 pages in length. Sor
Juana Ines
de la Cruz has been called history's first feminist, a title that she
would likely appreciate and take considerable pride in if she
were alive in today's world. The woman who entered a convent
as a means by which to further her quest for self-education
found out that society was not too accepting of women who
went against the grain of conformity; in fact, not only was she
condemned for her struggles as a woman who sought out more
than the social limitations availed to her, but she also had to face
ridicule because of her sexual orientation. The female Mexican
cultural symbol second only to the Virgin of Guadalupe, was, in
fact, of the lesbian persuasion. The writer discusses how de la
Cruz was determined to overcome the obstacles that stood in the
way of her waiting education. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

more remarkable in women entrepreneurs efforts than there are

intended to focus on any business that could be seen as
untraditional. Since those first ground-breaking years, however,
women-owned businesses are just businessessound

Why Women May Make Better Managers : In this 10
page
research paper, the writer evaluates the hypocrisy that women
are discriminated against in the workplace. Using relevant
studies, it is argued that women are physiologically more
capable of effectively handling common administrative tasks
and situations for two main reasons : (1) their brains may be
intrinsically more efficient with regard to verbal ability and (2)
their social nurturing and inherent nature make them more able
managers. Many examples are presented to illustrate points
made -- all are properly documented. Bibliography lists 10
