In Their Own Shadow: How Women Perpetuate Female Invisibility

-- By JenniferBurke - 04 April 2008

Changed:
<
<		In “Cerriere’s Answer,” Martha Tharaud says “a whole lot of women disappear in this business. Where do they go? Is anyone trying to find them?” Part of the reason why women disappear at work is because they are marginalized in society. As much as this can be blamed on patriarchy and resistance to change, the questioning should begin with how women perpetuate this cycle. Women should work together and be the first line of defense against patriarchal norms but instead are guilty of enhancing their own invisibility by competing with each other in the workplace and questioning each other’s choices in society. Even when women do support each other, like female backers of Hillary Clinton, they still manage to marginalize other women who have not made the same choice. While these issues are surely related to patriarchal norms, to stop the cycle maybe women should stop looking at patriarchy and men and first start to recognize their own missteps.
