The Sapphire in the workplace will depend on the type of position the Black woman holds. If you hold a position were toughness is required like a lawyer, judge or any woman of power you might find yourself needing to be tough and not taking any crap. The portrayal of black women as furious Sapphires pervades this culture. The Sapphire portrayal has been around for as long as black women have set out to assess their lives and treatment.

“From 1979 to 1998, Lilly Ledbetter worked as a supervisor at Goodyear’s plant in Gadsden, Alabama. Over the course of her career, her pay slipped when compared to the pay of men of equal experience and seniority. She sued the company, alleging pay discrimination on the basis of her gender under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Goodyear argued that the discriminatory act was the decision to pay her less, which took place many years ago and that therefore her lawsuit is too late. In a 5–4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled in Goodyear’s favor”, (Lilly M. Ledbetter, Petitioner V.

All around the world, genders are being discriminated by the opposite gender. The thing is that we all know that it is wrong but we have continued to do it for years.

The background and development of motivational hypotheses in social identity theory are examined, revealing two general motives for intergroup discrimination: a desire for cognitive coherence, or good structure; and a need for positive self-esteem. SHE (self-esteem hypothesis) is one of the letter that something stranger anymore (Abrams & Hong, 1988). Both the theoretical and empirical bases of the SEH are largely rooted in research using the minimal group paradigm. However, it remains unclear whether self-esteem is to be considered primarily as a cause or an effect of discrimination (Cherry, 2016). When real social groups are considered the SEH appears to provide only a partial explanation, and a variety of more or less powerful alternative

Throughout the history of the human race, women have been chastised, degraded and completely controlled by their male counterparts. Women have been oppressed and controlled without any room for retaliation. Whether it is an over-bearing father or an abusive husband, women had barely any say in what happened to them. They were housewives and child-bearers first and human beings second. In the play “The Heroine of 1812”, by Sarah Anne Curzon is a play that marvellously relates the story of Laura Secord.

CURRENT RELATED RESEARCH (FEMINIST RESEARCH): There is no one best method for feminist research the situation or context guides the choice of the method to be used. Methodological choices are made depending on the particular situation or context, instead of having a trust in the method as appropriate for every context and situation (Greaves et al., 1995, p. 334. The feminist researcher also recognise that men benefit from this gender privileges but that there are some group of men who are disadvantaged by other factors socially.
