Annotated Bibliography

Brown, Anna, and Eileen Patten. "The Narrowing, but Persistent, Gender Gap in Pay." Pew

Research Center. N.p., 03 Apr. 2017. Web. 03 May 2017.

This source provides helpful data regarding the gender pay gap in America. It provides

percentages, comparisons over time, and charts to directly compare the data collected.

Some possible reasons behind the pay gap are also provided. This is a reliable source

because it is the website for an official research center. This source has been very helpful

because it shows the progress made in reducing the wage gap between 1980 and 2015. It

also has graphs showing the difference in wage gaps separated by age, which is a factor I

had not previously considered.

Chris, and Dan Says. "10 Winning Arguments Against Radical Feminism." Libertennial. N.p., 15

Feb. 2016. Web. 16 May 2017.

This source is an opinion based article that explains how feminism is bad. This may not

be a reliable source because although it does provide statistics it does not give evidence

for the source of these statistics and it is a sponsored website. It provides an opinion that

counters my argument for gender based neo imperialism. It is an anti-feminist website. I

believe this will be a useful site for me to show possible counter arguments, and disprove

these arguments.

"Current Numbers." Current Numbers | CAWP. N.p., n.d. Web. 17 May 2017.

This source provides statistics about the women in politics in the United States. It is a

credible source because it is from a national educational organisations website. This

source will be very helpful in my argument. It will also provide these statistics I require

for one of the questions I am asking in my interviews. The statistics provided are also

recently updated as of 2017.

"Facts about Sexual Violence." PsycEXTRA Dataset (n.d.): n. pag. National Sexual Violence

Resource Center. Web. 3 May 2017.

This source provides statistics regarding sexual violence in the United States separated by

gender. It is a reliable source because the document is provided by the National Sexual

Violence Resource Center. This is a very helpful resource because it not only shows the

differences in assault statistic for adults, it also provides statistics regarding child abuse,

campus assaults, crime reports, and the costs and impacts. This source makes the data

provided easily understood and comparable. The information is also recently collected.

Morin, Rich. "The Politics and Demographics of Food Stamp Recipients." Pew Research Center.

N.p., 12 July 2013. Web. 03 May 2017.

This source provides data regarding food stamp recipients in America. It is a reliable

source because it comes from the official Pew Research Center. This is a helpful source

because it shows the separation in statistics by more than just gender. It provides data

also separated by race. Before finding this source I did not think that race caused such a

large difference in results when combined with gender. This demonstrates how the

combined impact of racial and gender discrimination can have a much greater impact on

someones life.

Now. "Why Women Pay More than Men for the Same Stuff." CNNMoney. Cable News

Network, n.d. Web. 17 May 2017.

This article is centered around the Pink Tax. it discusses the differences in prices of

goods based on the gender the product is targeting. It discusses tax price discrepancies in

products and services that should not be gender based. This source might be credible

because it comes from a national news company but also it may be swayed by the opinion

of the journalist who wrote it. This article will help support my claims of gender based

neo imperialism by using the Pink Tax as a con.

Oliver, Amanda, David Wright, Quentin Anthony Anderson, and Michelle Moore. "Ever Heard

of the Pink Tax? 4 Items Women Pay More For." Groundswell. N.p., n.d. Web. 17 May

2017.

This source is a reliable source because it is provided by a National Organization. It

discusses the differences in prices of product based on gender and provides cases, and

quotes to support their claims. I believe this website will support my use of the Pink Tax

as a con to gender neo imperialism. This website also provides specific examples that can

be used.

"Persepolis.nu." Using Religion to Discriminate against Women | The Anti-woman, Anti-life,

Anti-peace, Anti-reason and Anti-science Values of Abrahamic Religions. N.p., n.d.

 Pate 4
This source explains gender discrimination in religious texts. It may not be a reliable

source because it does not have any significant affiliation and it appears to be rather

biased. However it does provide direct quotes from religious texts supporting its

argument. I believe this will be a useful source because despite its questionable affiliation

and bias it does have strong proof behind its argument. Also the sources main argument

supports my topic of gender based neo-imperialism.

Women in the Progressive Era. N.p., n.d. Web. 18 May 2017.

This source explains the history of the womens suffrage movement. It explains how the

movement began, what organizations made the greatest impacts, and what people lead the

movement throughout history. This is a reliable source because is is owned by an

organization and provides historical facts. There are not opinions in the text, it is only a

sequential recount of the events of the movement. This source will be used in the

overview to explain the background behind my topic.
