Briefly describe what happened to Kathrine Switzer when she ran the 1967 Boston Marathon.
Give enough detail to demonstrate that you watched the documentary. Correct answer-
Katherine Switzer was a distance runner who attended Syracuse University in 1967. Her school
did not have a women's track team so she begun training with the men's team under trainer
Barney Briggs. She decided with Barney that she was going to run in the Boston Marathon and
this was taboo because for 70 years women had been excluded from the marathon. She
registered for the race as K. Switzer to keep herself unknown as a woman runner. While
competing in the race, the race director jumped off the press bus and tried to grab her out of
the race. Her boyfriend defended her and pushed him away. She was determined to finish this
race for all women out there in the world, and she completed the race in 4 hours. People asked
her why she did this and she answered "I just want to run!". She ultimately changed women's
sports.



Lesbians and women of color were heartily welcomed in the early years of the feminist
movement and easily saw a place for themselves in the movement. Correct answer-False




Among other things, Betty Friedan's THE FEMININE MYSTIQUE argued that women (and
therefore men and society at large) suffered if women were confined solely to the role of
housewife/mother instead of having other options. Correct answer-True




In the 1950s and into the 1960s, it was both legal and common to limit jobs to either women or
men. For example, job ads in newspapers were divided into jobs for women and jobs for men.
And most jobs for women were low-level with little chance for advancement or promotion --
e.g., secretarial. Correct answer-True

Betty Friedan's "The Feminine Mystique" Correct answer-revealed and explored the
dissatisfaction that many (largely white, largely educated) women felt at being confined to the
role of housewife



According to Aileen Hernandez, the only woman on the Equal Opportunity Employment
Commission at the time, the first gender-based case under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act dealt
with what industry/job? Briefly describe the issue brought to the EOEC. What was the outcome
-- i.e., did the EOEC take action or not? (1 point for each element of this question.)
Correct answer-The first gender-based case under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act dealt
with what the Airline industry, specifically the job of being a stewardess. Stewardesses were
told to be cleanly dressed, wear full hair and make-up, and be in outstanding shape. They were
completely objectified in this job position and they were only valuable when they were still
"young". Once these women reached 32 years old, they were fired. Stewardesses marched to
Washington to file a claim with the EOEC on this age discrimination. The EOEC ultimately did
nothing and this made Aileen Hernandez quit her job with the EOEC.




Lorena Weeks applied for a position as "switch-man" with Southern Bell, a job for which she
was the best qualified according to Southern Bell's own seniority rules. Her application was
turned down and she was told that the job was reserved for men only in part because "men are
the breadwinners" and because the job required lifting items that weighed as much as 30
pounds (a weight considered too heavy for women to lift). Lorena wanted this job because...
Correct answer-AOTA

-she needed and wanted the increased income to support herself

-she knew she was qualified for it

-she thought it would be fun and she knew she could do it

, WST 3015 Final Wendland; Questions and
Answers 100% Correct
-she knew that if a woman could lift a baby a woman could lift the required 30 pounds with little
problem

-she hated men and wanted to take jobs away from men




All feminism is the same and all feminists think the same way. Correct answer-False




Without referring to any person or event already covered in this quiz, choose a segment
(person, event, concept) of the MAKERS documentary that really spoke to you. Describe that
segment (sufficiently so that we know you actually watched the documentary) and then
describe why this segment was a learning experience for you. (The answer "This was a learning
experience because I didn't know this before I took this class" will earn ZERO points. Your
answer should connect to course concepts and issues.) Correct answer-I enjoyed the
segment of Part 1 of MAKERS Awakening that talked about the Ladies Home Journal sit-in. This
magazine was known to publish belittling advertisements towards women and degrading
articles. These women had enough of this and took action. They discretely piled into magazine
director John Mack Carter's office in groups of three to not raise suspicion that they were up to
something. Once they were all in his office, they refused to leave until they were given a whole
issue in the magazine to write whatever they please. After 11 hours, an exhausted John Mack
Carter agreed to give the ladies 8 pages in the issue to write about anything they want. This may
have been a small detail/victory in the documentary but it spoke volumes to me. I know it
probably took a lot of time and energy to argue with this man and to stay put for 11 hours until
a compromise was reached that satisfied the group. I respect that they took to a large magazine
like this and demanded to be published and get their voice/words out there for the public to see
and understand. This was a great example of determination on the part of these women and it
was very inspiring to learn about for me as a young woman.

Gloria Steinem took a leading role at NOW when Betty Friedan was no longer able to bridge rifts
in the movement and, according to most, transformed the women's movement because
Correct answer-AOTA

-She had advanced media skills and was able to speak well on talk shows and at public
appearances.

-Her own journey to feminism had taken years and hence she wasn't foreign to the issues that
many women faced

-Even as an educated white woman she had a sense of the diversity of women and appealed to
that in ways that earlier feminist leaders had not done at all or to the same extent




Briefly describe Title IX. How did it benefit female athletes? How has it been beneficial to both
men and women's educational opportunities? Correct answer-Title IX compelled
universities and college that received federal grants to offer women equal opportunities to men,
most notably in their sports programs. Title IX benefited female athletes because it caused most
universities to vastly expand their intercollegiate sports programs for women if they wished to
continue receiving federal funds. Title IX has been beneficial to both men and women because
both groups can coexist, compete, and learn from each other in the college setting and have
equal opportunities to one another.



"The Battle of the Sexes" explored in "MAKERS Part II - Changing the World" referred to:
Correct answer-Billie Jean King's tennis match against Bobby Riggs in which female King
faced the male Riggs in what was read not just as a tennis match but as a battle to show that
women could be every bit as athletically strong as men could be
