Twentieth Century Women's Sportswear

The women’s rights movement being an extensive movement helped women to occupy better jobs and higher positions “Increased access to leadership positions is an important achievement because – in terms of gender – the field is more level now: some women will be allies, some are not, but no one is excluded only for being a woman”. Today, women can choose to occupy the jobs that were once titled only for men and they have an equal employment opportunity “Because of workplace rights, women enjoy freedom to work in almost any position they choose. They join the armed forces, work as cab drivers, own businesses and become executives in large corporations” Women can now become ministers, juries, senates, and even the president “1975 — In Taylor v. Louisiana, the court denies states the right to exclude women from juries….1981 — Sandra Day O’Connor is appointed as the first female U.S. Supreme Court Justice… 1997 — Madeleine Albright is sworn in as U.S. Secretary of State. She is the first woman in this position.”

B. So if students apply to be college athletes why do they have to pay them. Especially when they free education,free food,and free books. Now if they want to get paid they should practice a lot so they can get really good and make it to the NFL or another league. But if they don 't make it they at least made a name for themselves.

The 1920’s brought a lot of equality for women, though much work still needed to be done. Before the year 1920, women could not even vote. While political equality was important during this era, there was also a huge focus placed on social equality of the sexes by feminists, called “social justice feminsts” during this time. During the twentieth century, there was a big shift in what was acceptable for woman to do, and they have more freedom, though many people still opposed it. By the 1920’s, women were openly drinking and smoking, education for women had advanced, and women actually had a larger role in the workforce, though professional careers were still somewhat elusive to them, just to name a few social improvements.

As we all know, college can be very expensive. With the scholarships and grants, college student-athletes can go to school for free and get their day-to-day needs such as food, housing, clothes, etc. Ackerman and Scotts, purpose is to show that college is a learning experience and with the help of college sports, the student-athletes will have a chance to grow and be successful in life rather than being exploited. However, critics believe that college student-athletes should be paid salary, like professional athletes, because they want people to see the “athletes are the rule, not the expectation” (par 11). They want the audience to think that it’s a rule for student-athletes to go play pro after two years, will no expectation.

Women still faced inequality and discrimination, but in the words of the Virginia Slim’s slogan, which was marketed toward women in the sixties and seventies, “You’ve come a long way, baby!” (Catalano, pg. 76). The simple fact that product marketing, which was not for household products, food, or clothing, was being directed toward women was evidence of a new group of people with purchasing power. Women were no longer sitting idly by as decisions were being made for them. They were out in the working world, the political world, and the commerce world, making things happen and being counted

Their target customers are young people in all kinds of education levels, religions, race and nationality. The occupation of their target customers could be very wide but mainly are sports player and athletics. It is because athletics are more rapidly to use sports products than other people. Their target customers are from different generations: Generation X, Generation Y. Psychographic Their target customers are people who care more about the utility and quality of the product than the price.

They wanted not only political equality, but social equality as well. “The feminism of the 1920s differed from the earlier struggle for women’s rights... It called for independence as much as equality -- and recognized that the two were inseparable,” (Chandler 101). The idea that it is acceptable for men to drink, smoke, or go to school and work was not lost on women. They felt their positions as housewives should not be a standard, but rather an option.

Many believe that college athletes are similar to professional athletes and that they deserve to be paid for what they do. However, many college athletes are able to receive many other benefits, therefore additional compensation is not necessary. College athletes go to school to play their sport, but also go to get an education. Their main role is to prepare themselves for later in life, and being paid would take away if they were being paid. Student athletes are not professional athletes or entertainers, and should not be paid for playing on a college team.

“ A crusade in political education by women and for women, and for most of its existence, a crusade in search of a consistency” this quote by historian Nancy Woloch describes early suffragists efforts to take one step further to equality among men and women (Office of the Historian, 2007). The women 's suffrage movement changed the political, social and economic stance of women in The United States during the early twentieth century. Today women are one step closer to full equality of the sexes because of the women who fought for suffrage. Before this became the huge movement it was still legal for some women to vote in a few states. In Massachusetts and New York emphasis placed on owning property was the determining factor in voting rights.

It has strong brand recognition among athletes. That being said, Under Armour has to seriously consider expanding internationally to cover more markets. It should also work on products diversification and innovative designs. The following sections of this report will support the recommendations presented because they were based on the results of implementing external and internal

When student-athletes received full scholarships, they should be privileged and thankful since the cost of higher education is very expensive. Student-athletes need to understand the circumstances and take of advantage of getting their degree from a well renowned university since the percentages are very slim to none on having a professional career in sports. The purpose of a student-athlete is to be a student first and then an athlete second. The main focus should be on earning a degree, and not worrying about when is the next game on the schedule. Many people are stating that college athletes should get paid, but how about the general student body that has little to nothing and working a job earning minimal pay.

Although women were not granted workwear similar to men as they had desired, they did begin to wear more comfortable dresses in order to work in the fast paced conditions. Women saw this as an advancement for further reforms and it allowed women to build their confidence and courage in order to pursue their right to dress freely and comfortably. The introduction of women in the workplace incited a strong desire for gender equality and for fashion reforms to allow women to dress appropriately for the labor intensive jobs they were required to

If the NCAA was changed, or even abolished, the universities of today would most likely fix the issue of poor college athletes, whether they meant to or not. Universities are typically unabashed to admit that they are indeed running a businesses. They want elite teams that will not only earn the school a large income, but bring them to bowl games and championships. Colleges would have little to no issue with giving student-athletes the benefits of employees if the realm of collegiate sports became a free market. In fact, such a reform guarantees a competitive market to insure that college-players

There alternative and different ideas of a women’s role in society played a great factor in the changed that took place after World War I. As women’s role in society changed, the fashion trends for women also changed. Due to a dye shortage and fabric shortages during the war, a new utilitarian drabness in dress began to trend. The most noticeable change engendered by war was the relaxation of the formal rules of attire.

Women’s rights should not be divided by liberal or conservative thought, but since the public perceived New Left radicals as essentially the same as feminists, it created another divide between liberal and conservatives. ¬Since the 1960s, the government’s policies on women’s rights have changed slightly, but the downfall of these changes is that much of what feminists worked towards in the 60s and 70s is possible in theory, but had not yet come to fruition. The best example Rosen gave was the new idea of the working mom “superwoman” who did it all (p. 295), but even though more people accepted that idea, men stepping in to assist women at home was still unthinkable. The movement is not only about woman gaining more freedom, but also about men and women being viewed as equals regardless of what they do. While conservatives often view this as an infringement on men’s rights, that is not the purpose of the movement, so the liberal-conservative dichotomy is not an effective way to examine the Women’s Rights
