I personally was very inspired by the writing A Woman In A Man’s World. A writer/ reporter named Winifred Black otherwise known as “Annie Laurie” is talked about as a hero to women. She was one of the first popular women’s reporters that reported on men’s sports.I believe some of the purposes of this article is to show that women can do a man’s job at the same caliber and women typically show more emotion when writing. A quote from the reading really explains that many women did believe that this was true, “ A woman has a distinct advantage over a man in reporting, if she has sense enough to balance her qualities”(Elwood-Akers, 1989, p.865). What exactly made Winifred so popular was the perspective she took on her reports. It was new and different from most of the men sports reporters. Rather than looking at athletes as inhuman objects, Winifred looked and wrote about them as humans with feelings and told there stories in her writings. Another quality that was different about Winifred’s writings is that she used them to make comment on gender roles in American society of the era. Some of the most daring things Winifred would do is dress up as a man and attend prize-fights or other sporting events not allowed for women and tell about them in her reports. She would ask surprising questions in interviews such as “how does it feel inflicting pain like that on another human being?”. This piece of writing was aimed at writers and reporters. To me this article was effective because it inspired me. Women trying to change the sexism in our society started long ago and put up a great fight so us women need to follow there example of bravery and tenacity.
