Annotated Bibliography: How do Social Status of Men and Women Change within Decades?
An annotated bibliography is a collection of critical research (news/journal articles, etc.) about a topic. Your bibs must be research on the topic of your final Disciplinary Literacy Paper. These sources are alphabetized, and annotated, meaning that there is a brief description and commentary after each citation. (See Bulletin of Bibliography series or other bib series — the library should have examples).
Bibliography Guidelines:
The bibliography should contain no fewer than eight (8) sources, and no more than ten, and should be no shorter than two full pages, and no more than four pages. (That means the entire bibliography, not the length of each annotation.) Quantity does not determine a better grade; quality, insightfulness, and thoroughness of annotations are what counts.
The bibliography and all citations must follow MLA format. This will constitute a LARGE part of your grade.
No more than five sources can be Web-only sources, meaning web sites that have not print equivalent (WEB M.D. doesn’t also exist in print for example), web e-zines that are published exclusively on the web, or an on-line archive (such as the U of VA literary archives). In other words, you must also find books, magazines, trade and scholarly journals, and newspapers from the library).
NOTE: Articles digitized on-line (such as PDF articles found in ProQuest Search tool), but which still exist in print form, i.e. it gives you the volume, issue, page #’s with the PDF, I will count as a Print source. Likewise, if you encounter a full-length article on a magazine’s website, but the magazine exists in print (like the New York Times, I count that as a print source, provided you provide all the citation information like page #, author, etc.) The bibliography must be alphabetized by author. Sub-categories are at your discretion.

Annotated Bibliography: How do Social Status of Men and Women Change within Decades?
Amos, Julie-Ann. “Changing gender roles.” 2017. Web.
Amos (2) points out that over the past 30 to 40 years, gender roles have changed significantly. What was very specifically the role of a woman and the role of a man is almost unrestricted today. There is such as an extensive variation in the roles of women and men these days that is not accurate anymore to define them traditionally and narrowly. Women have transitioned from the role of a mother and wife into the male domains of the professional and business world. The article relates to my paper by showing how women and men over the years have shifted into the non-traditional areas of their gender. The intended audience of this source includes anyone interested in the changing roles of men and women in the society.
Brenner, Mark., and Stephanie Luce. “Women and class: What has happened in forty years.” Monthly Review, vol. 58, no. 3, 2006, pp. 1-16.
Various women’s organizations and groups such as the Coalition of Labor Union Women, National Organization of Working Women, 9to5, and the National Organization for Women helped in building the women’s movement of the ‘60s and ‘70s. This resulted in substantial changes in the status of working women in the 1960s through the 1980s (Brenner and Luce 3). The proportion of women in the workforce increased and the gender wage gap narrowed as gender segregation started falling significantly. The article relates to my paper by showing how the social status of working women has changed since the 1960s until now because of the women’s movement of the ‘60s and ‘70s. The intended audience of this source includes students as well as anyone interested in the changing roles of men and women in the society
Edmonds, Molly. “Are men and women’s roles in society changing?” 5 October 2010. Web.
Traditionally, women have been governing the domestic sphere and were expected to remain at home and bring up their youngsters. Those who were employed worked in stereotypically female professions such as nurse or secretary. Conversely, men were expected to serve as the family’s sole breadwinner and work outside the home (Edmunds 2). They held powerful positions within the society including serving as politicians, lawyers and doctors. The social changes of the 1960s and ‘70s brought about a cultural revolution resulting in many women in the society pursuing professions outside the home. More men over the past few years have been expressing a desire of assuming the role of caregiver to their young ones (Edmonds 2). The article relates to my paper by showing how the social status of both women and men has been changing over the past decades. The intended audience includes students, scholars, as well as people who are interested in the changing gender roles within the society.
England, Paula. “The gender revolution: Uneven and stalled.” Gender & Society, vol. 24, no. 14, 2010, pp. 149-165.
