first assignment I have been <strong>captivated<\/strong> by the topic of women, specifically their <strong>inequality<\/strong>, on college campuses. \u00a0In the archives, I found myself reading article after article on the integration of women onto the Santa Clara University campus. \u00a0From this I learned about the <strong>perceptions<\/strong> of people in the middle of the twentieth century that were <strong>less than pleasing<\/strong> to women. \u00a0I find this almost unbelievable as women&#8217;s rights have been a hot topic for centuries.

research the origins of women&#8217;s educational opportunities in the nineteenth century. \u00a0Delving into the <strong>past<\/strong> has given me an opportunity to understand the beginning of women&#8217;s educational rights. \u00a0Initial<br \/>\nly education for women became available in order for wives to have intellectual conversations with their <strong>husbands<\/strong> and to embrace their natural role as teachers. \u00a0For some reason the idea that women would want education on their <strong>own volition<\/strong> was seemingly <strong>unacknowledged<\/strong>. \u00a0Their education was for the purpose of others, not for their own betterment. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, from the archival research project I gained a particular

on my campus. \u00a0A few years ago as a Halloween prank, an off-campus fraternity placed a <strong>cage<\/strong> in their front yard with a sign reading <strong>&#8220;Bad B*tches Only.&#8221;<\/strong> \u00a0And earlier this year there was an incident in Malley Fitness Center regarding the attire a student wore to the gym. \u00a0Each case caused social\u00a0<strong>uproar<\/strong> on the campus, in the local community, and around the country.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">&#8230;off-campus fraternity placed

here, I developed a survey designed to gain the perceptions of SCU students on modern day sexist acts. \u00a0The survey was particularly interesting because I was able to do a side by side comparison of men and women on the same questions. \u00a0While <strong>100%<\/strong> of the male surveyors agreed that sexism still existed, only <strong>33%<\/strong> of them were aware of sexism occurring on

21st century, women receiving education is the norm. \u00a0There are policies in place equating men and women. \u00a0Seemingly, preferential treatment based on gender has been eliminated (or at least significantly diminished). \u00a0However, there is <strong>still social injustice<\/strong> occurring <strong>every day<\/strong>. \u00a0How is there such a divide between institutional standard and
