WST 3015 Final Wendland Exam Questions
With Correct Answers


Briefly describe what happened to Kathrine Switzer when she ran the 1967 Boston Marathon.
Give enough detail to demonstrate that you watched the documentary. - 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. - 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. - 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. - answer✔✔True

Betty Friedan's "The Feminine Mystique" - 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.) -
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... -
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
-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. - 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.) - 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 -
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? - 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: -
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
Sherri Finkbine was a TV personality who's experience made headlines. How was her case a
catalyst for social change? - answer✔✔Her legal abortion in Europe created a conversation
around the necessity of safe and legal abortions in the United States

Roe V. Wade... - answer✔✔-Was one of the catalyst-issues leading to the ERA because it was so
connected to equality for women and women's right to make choices about their own lives

their own reproductive lives
-Legalized abortion while making certain limitations on abortion possible

educational opportunities, women's enrollment in medical school: - answer✔✔Increased from

answer✔✔Her conservative activism, in particular her convention in Houston, was seen as a
victory AGAINST the ERA.
