The article I read today is called "Citing the Rising Influence and Power of Women" by Kim A. McDonald . This article is about two colleagues's at Rutgers University comparing their predictions of future gender roles and what will happen to the world when women continuing to gain power. One anthropologist from Rutgers believes that the turn approaching gender equality is a recurrence to the past ancestral relationships between the sexes millions of years ago. More and more women are entering the workforce and creating two-income families and there is always a growing number of females in higher education. Society is just becoming generally feminized. The accustomed traits of females such as, negotiators, communicators, educators, integrators of information, and healers are recognized and exercised in the global marketplace. These talents will "reshape" corporations and professions, according to Helen E. Fisher. The female capabilities of contextually analyzing, developing interpersonal skills, and their efficiency for language will prosper the the assembling and altering of information and their traits of compassion and need to nurture will make the the female presence in medical schools rise resulting in the change of the face of medicine. In this society it is being discovered that a lot of areas of specialization are going to require a women's mind. The article goes on to tell what this transfer of gender power will do to men and families as a whole. This article relates a lot to my topic of women becoming equals. I think this will be a very helpful source.
