The author talks about the marginalization of women through the banning of professions that involve a higher level of power, such as professions in business, law, medicine and physical sciences. On the other hand, to relieve this overflow, many potential candidates in these fields turn to the arts or humanities. He writes that the majority of head teachers in the arts and humanities are men while classes are filled primarily with young women. This indicates that attrition will minimize male influence in the field in the years to come. This can also lead to a feminization of the field by society and ultimately an even greater loss of salary and value in the eyes of society (Schechner 5-7). The article is written by a professor of performance studies at the Tisch School of the Arts, where he is also editor-in-chief of The Drama Review. The source is not directly supported by any specific research, but provides a relatively unbiased view of the future of the study of the arts and humanities in relation to gender at play in the selection of courses of study. I plan to use this source in my article as an example of how fields fluctuate in the amount of each gender represented due to peer support and same-sex influence.
