Week Nine - Posting Nine

I just recently watched the move Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and it gave me an idea of what I would like to discuss in my second reading report. The movie takes places in the 1970's around the time when women were really taken notice in the workforce. The was they treated women with the jokes and side comments are awful, and the women pretty much had to take it because the didn't want to step on people's toes (the men) in the workforce or make a fuss over the comments because it would be a sign of weakness. Men were scared or felt intimidated by women in the workforce especially women work did worked well and had ambition. Going with the movie Veronica Corningstone wanted to be an anchorwoman very badly and did what she had to do professionally to achieve that goal. In my paper I want to talk about how women left the home and moved into the workplace and how that transition helped and also hurt them as people in society and as the women they were.
