| dc.description.abstract | Women across the board, in the workplace, face issues of sexism and gender bias irrespective of industry (Weber & Higginbotham, 1997). Women continue to prove they are not only capable of working, but also excelling in male dominated industries. White women have not reached the level of being equal to their White male counterparts in higher level positions, but the gap is closer for them than it is for Black, Asian, and/or Latin women (Hite, 2007). A factor many do not consider are the structural barriers Black women endure. Simms et al. (2015) define structural barriers are obstacles that collectively affect a group disproportionately and perpetuate or maintain stark disparities in outcomes. Black women not only face inequality in the workplace, but issues of workplace diversity or lack thereof. | en_US |
