This article examines the persisting obstacles American women face in the workforce, for example, gender bias and gender stereotyping. These microaggressive behaviors create obstacles for women in the workplace environment as with the glass ceiling and the broken rung. A historical timeline of impactful events affecting women's rights and milestones is provided. Moreover, the glass ceiling and broken rung are compared. In addition, the microaggressive behaviors of gender bias and gender stereotyping are examined. Lastly, remedies to alleviate microaggressive behaviors and negative obstacles for American women in the workplace have been provided. Examples of these remedies include companies creating gender-diverse organizational cultures, being committed to hiring and promoting women for managerial leadership positions, challenging existing corporate identities, implementing positive discrimination practices, and being held to diversity transparency.

“…e celebratory frontier partnership between hard working white settler men and women harnessed wo men's political citizenship to the demographic and geographical expansion of the nation. e American West was deeply shaped by this value system and early legislative changes to white women's voting and homestead rights in the states of Wyoming and Idaho reflected the belief that white women's bodies would "settle" the West through migration, marriage, and re production (Lewis 2013;Lewis 2011;Mead 2004). Adele Perry argues that similar concerns existed about attracting permanent white settlement to the colony (and later province) of British Columbia (Perry 2015;Perry 2001;Perry 1995).…”

Modernity and Progress: The Transnational Politics of Suffrage in British Columbia (1910-1916)

Canadian historians have underplayed the extent to which theproject of suffrage and first wave feminism was transnational in scope. The suffrage movement in British Columbia provides a good example of the global interconnections of the movement. While BC suffragists were relatively uninterested in pan-Canadian campaigns they explicitly situated provincial suffrage within three transnational relationships: the ‘frontier’ myth of the Western United States, radical direct action by suffragettes in the United Kingdom, and the rise of modern China. By the second decade of the 20thcentury, increasingly confident women’s suffrage societies hosted international visits and contributed to global print culture, both of which consolidated a sense of being part of a modern, international and unstoppable movement. BC suffragists were attuned to American suffrage campaigns in California, Oregon and Washington, which granted female suffrage after referenda and situated political rights for settler women in the context of Western progress narratives. The emphasis on progress and modernity intersected with growing connections to non-Western countries, complicating racialized arguments for settler women’s rights to vote. BC suffragists were particularly impressed by the role of feminism in Chinese political reform and came to understand Chinese women as symbolizing modernity, progress, and equality. Finally, the militant direct action in the British suffrage movement played a critical role in how BC suffragists imagined the role of tactical political violence. They were in close contact with the militant WSPU, hosted debates on the meaning of direct action, and argued that suffragettes were heroes fighting for a just cause. They pragmatically used media fascination with suffragette violence for political purposes by reserving the possibility that unmet demands for political equality might lead to Canadian conflict in the future.
