Answering the question of what I want to know took me longer than I expected. Although it is clear that gender inequality is present in most of the aspects of society, motivation to start an investigation of a specific domain came when I could link it to my past and present experiences. As a teenager, […]

When I initially began this research, I wanted to look at post-graduation placement of women who acquired a doctorate degree in a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (collectively known as STEM). Unfortunately, the data contained within the Woodrow Wilson Center’s portal was insufficient to answer this question. As a result, I broadened my research to […]
I decided to do a bit a research to see what data I could easily access regarding women as heads of households across the globe. I was interested to see what countries I could find data for and in particular if the development status of a country had an effect on whether or not women […]

The dimension of gender inequality I was most interested in was the representation of women in the field of software engineering. This is a particularly important area for me, as I studied computer science in college and worked as a software engineer at an education software company during my third year. When I was hired, […]
As I was studying the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Women in Public Service Project and the Global Women’s Leadership Initiative Index, I decided to research women’s presence in the judiciaries of various countries. In terms of evaluating women’s presence in that domain, presence in the civil service, the attainment of university degrees, and presence in the […]
The dimension I chose for gender inequality was advanced degrees awarded at the PhD level. I wanted to learn what the disparity between males and females were for awarded advanced degrees, how this compared to undergraduate degrees, and which countries had the most equal rates of degrees awarded by gender. The most important indicator for […]

While exploring the dataset this week I couldn’t (as someone trained in rhetoric and composition) get past the fact that countries with unequal access to power were termed “pursuing parity.” To me that was a way of packaging the blow that these countries were at the bottom of the spectrum in a “works-in-progress” sort of […]
