Abstract
At first glance one might think that Punam Khosla's "If Low Income Women of Colour Counted in Toronto" is just another publication stating the screamingly obvious, that women of colour face multiple discrimination and are usually poorer than other people. However, such an attitude would play right into the hands of those who are marginalising the problems of minority women, to the point where they are in danger of being left off the page altogether. This essay places this article in a theoretical context by showing how developments in feminist theory have sidelined issues that are of concrete, practical significance for women.

Abstract
This paper discusses the minority, women and disadvantaged business enterprise (MWDBE) in the State of North Carolina, which is focused on by the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) office. The paper describes the goal for the state in terms of MWDBE and the objectives of the policy. The paper then looks at the pros of the public policy related to minority, women and disadvantaged businesses and how the policy can be successfully implemented.
From the Paper
"This can be accomplished through dedicated workers that strive to achieve organizational goals and that have the training and skills to ensure that the public policy is beneficial to all stakeholders in Charlotte. The Partnership for Public Service of the United States believes that this is possible when the right people are recruited, who believe that the issues associated with the community are essential to the well being of all people ("Welcome", n.d.). Yet, in order to attract the right people to accomplish this task the organization must be capable of providing a working environment that supports the desire to successfully serve the public."

Abstract
This paper explains that the lives and experiences of Chinese, Mexican and African-American women are similar because they all faced severe hardship, discrimination, and degrading social conditions; however, due to their ethic identities and cultural roots, their experiences are dramatically dissimilar. The author points out that Vicki Ruiz, in her book "Out of the Shadows", takes readers through the immigration eras, beginning with Spanish-speaking women moving north out of Mexico centuries before the Euro-Americans arrived and that Judy Yung, in her book "Unbound Feet", writes about the history of Chinese women coming to San Francisco in the late 1800s. The paper relates that Jacqueline Jones, in her book, "Labor of Love, Labor of Sorrow" writes about the early twentieth century when black urban women participated in boycotts against segregated public facilities and resisted racist customs.
From the Paper
"But what was it like for a Mexican woman migrating into the U.S. in the early 20th Century? Ruiz writes that first of all getting across the border was challenging, particularly during the Mexican Revolution (1910-1921) when "starvation was not unknown and danger a constant companion ." Women were raped and kidnapped by soldiers and "marauders" while on their way north; it was back-breaking work once Mexicans arrived in the southwest, as many were paid twelve cents per day in the fields. Twenty-one percent of Mexican women in early 20th Century America worked in the fields."

Career Development and Minority Women, 2007.

Abstract
This paper examines how African-American women often face special problems when it comes to finding jobs that offer decent salaries, benefits and opportunities for growth and advancement. It looks at how traditional prejudices against women in the workforce combine with prejudice against African-Americans and minorities, in general. It also discusses how many of these women are less educated and less well-trained than White American women and how cultural factors, too, may enter into the equation, adding up to misunderstandings between employers and their female African-American employees.
From the Paper
"The recognition that Black Women are living and working in two different cultures is of great significance both to their own efforts at success, and also to the attitudes of the majority White society toward them and their careers. White managers and employees must not treat cultural differences as disabilities, or even worse, as abhorrent factors that render success and advancement impossible for African-American women. For instance, a willingness to work very hard must not be taken as some sort of confirmation of the idea the idea that Black Women are "born" to do all of the hard work; that they are not "cut out" for the more refined intellectual and managerial responsibilities.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the problems that have confronted females of color, particularly Hispanic women and African women, with regard to American labor unions since World War II. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which the confrontation, of ideals and objectives of the groups of women and the labor groups has arisen since the War, and then to discuss details of the encounter of the two working cultures that illustrate the reality of conflicting values and goals for participants in the workplace.
A useful place to begin a discussion of where and how Hispanic and African American women fit into the scheme of the history of the American labor movement since World War II may be, not the close of the war but a 1991 event in which 25 nonunion workers, most of them women and minority, were killed in ..."

Abstract
This paper describes the stereotypes and biases that are seen in the media on a daily basis.The author gives a detailed look at how these stereotypes affect society and the values and morals instilled in children.
From the Paper
?In today?s ever diversifying society one detrimental problem that remains is that of stereotypes and biases. Do the people in our country need to see more negative portrayals than they already are? Within certain types of media, minorities and women are often times portrayed negatively. Within this research paper, two television shows will be analyzed in terms of age, race, gender, target audiences, socioeconomic differences, stereotypes and biases, clothing and presentation, and the role of characters. Aside from the characters in the television shows, products being advertised will also be evaluated. Often times an advertising company will choose a target audience and present the goods in a specific style, meaning the company will choose different age brackets, background voices, and special effects. Most importantly, the effect these shows have on children will be discussed. Children look at television characters as role models, and this research paper will test these programs to see if integrity and proper moral standards are displayed.?

From the Paper
"In the contemporary period, more than at any time in the past, migration is a global phenomenon. In search of employment, higher wages, educational opportunities for themselves and their children, and to escape from persecution and violence, millions of people cross international borders each year. Over one hundred million people now live in a country other than that of their birth, and millions of these immigrants maintain their ethnic identities in their adopted countries (Weiner, 1996).
In industrialized societies on average, non-citizens now typically constitute more than five-percent of the population. These large and typically visible immigrant populations are a cause of concern for both governments and their citizens. These concerns lead to questions such as: Do immigrants benefit the economy, taking unwanted jobs and providing needed skills; or Do immigrants displace indigenous workers and burden public resources in their adopted countries (Weiner, 1996)?"

"There have been made numerous forecasts as to the composition of the work-force during the year 2000, with researchers and practitioners indicating that minority and female workers will predominate other worker groups ... reports that:
The survey companies are literally in the midst of a sea of change. The average survey company's work force is already just about one-half female. Minorities now compose up to 20% of the work force at just under 60% of the survey companies and more than 26% of employees at almost a quarter of the survey group."

Abstract
This is an exhaustive paper examining the way that women mentor women in modern American professional society. Examines the history of the phenomenon, and gives information on how mentoring should be given and received.
From the Paper
"Women mentoring women in the workplace is a relatively new phenomenon. Woman-to-woman mentoring encompasses circumstances and rules that are specific to a female style and representative of a female culture. The workplace puts demands on our priorities and our energy that bring new factors into woman-to-woman relationships. Our identity as professional women with career responsibilities affects our interactions with other women who are also committed to improving their performance and achieving greater success. Women learning from women at work, women mentoring each other as career professionals with job and personal lives, is an emerging opportunity with enormous potential to change work and women's lives for the future (Duff, 1999, p. xv & xvi). Mentoring begins with an influence that someone has upon another person. It also can help to shape and develop a person's personality and thoughts. In research, it has been proven that women need role models that help them to pursue and conquer future endeavors in the workforce. Discovery into the differences between males and females might be a way to unlock strategies to aid in diversity counseling as well as provide positions in organizations that are solely devoted to mentorship."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the poetry of Muriel Ruckeyser, as found in her book ?The Book of the Dead?, and that of Adrienne Rich, using her work entitled "Twenty-one Love Poems". The paper gives a biographical background on each of the poets, stressing their importance to the contemporary women?s movement and to American poetry. Rich?s poems are explored for their ideas on the relationships between women, and Ruckeyser?s are studied in terms of their comparison to a documentary and in relation to her strong political view.
From the Paper
"To many, Poetry is the voice of women. It is the way in which women can express their inner thoughts and feelings, to write the things that they can not say. Poetry is more than words on paper but someone?s feelings and life poured into the readers mind. Poets let the readers climb inside their heads and taste what the poet feels, sees, and thinks.
Two major women poets that are in the inner ring of American feminist poets are Muriel Ruckeyser and Adrienne Rich. Though their poetry may be different in content, many of their messages are the same: we need to be heard. Ruckeyser?s ?The Book of the Dead? describes conditions and feelings of the Gauley Bridge tragedy through actual courtroom testimonies to words from actual citizens of the town. Adrienne Rich?s ?Twenty-one Love Poems? describes in many ways, her love of her companion as well as their struggles and times together."

Abstract
This paper examines the "Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens", America poet. The paper shows that desire and desired denied in this work may be interpreted through the archetypal psychology of Carl Jung to disclose the reason for Stevens' preference for places over people and to explain his ambivalence toward the abstract feminine figures in his poems.
From the Paper
"Feminine archetypes reconstruct the distant attitudes in Stevens' poetry by figuring-forth embedded emotions. First, they provide an archetypal perspective on individual poems. Second, they illustrate how, ranging from Harmonium (1923) to The Rock (1954), clusters of motifs influence the poet-hero's psychic development. Although their appearances change to fit their ambiguous roles, these singular feminine figures determine the poet-hero's canon-long struggle to achieve a regulated unity of self. Two categories need to be distinguished: (a) feminine figures and (b) the interior paramour. Their protean capability makes scrupulous demarcations between exterior feminine figures impossible, but three forms or combinations prevail: the summer maiden (Kore or lover), the universal mother or earth mother, and the maiden-mother (an overlapping maid and mother figure). The interior paramour represents a climax to the poet-hero's experience with exterior feminine figures."

Minorities During the War, 2002.
An essay on the changing roles of minorities and women during the second world war.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores how minorities and women were affected by the second world war, specifically focusing on three areas where their role was changed due to the war effort. The first is the active repression that existed for women and minorities during this time, and the barriers that existed to their participation in the war effort. The second is the way in which women and minorities were actively recruited to get involved with the war effort on the home front. Finally, the paper explores the role played by women and minorities, who served in the national dialogue and propaganda campaigns which colonized so much of the thought of the era. This paper explores these three topics.
From the Paper
"It must be recalled that before the Second World War, racial minorities and women were very much second-class citizens. The civil rights movement had yet to really get underway, and segregation was still a common and even expected practice in many states. Those who got out of hand were actively punished by society, lynchings were common, and restrictive legislation of one sort or another was on the books in most locales. Blacks suffered the most far-ranging and systematic legal repression, though the social constraints put on women to remain in the home were also significant and the dual-wage system prejudiced. Japanese minorities also suffered extensively during World War II, though for quite separate reasons. Other subgroups, such as Hispanics and Jews were also persecuted to varying degrees. Each group experienced repression and patriotism in very different ways."
