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, of medicine and physical sciences. On the other hand, to alleviate this excess, many of the possible candidates in these fields turn to the arts or humanities. She writes that most senior arts and humanities professors are men when classes are filled mostly with young women. This indicates that attrition will minimize the amount of male influence on the field in the coming years. This could also lead to a feminization of the industry by society and ultimately suffer an even greater loss of pay 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 an editor of The Drama Review. The source is not directly supported by any specific research but provides a relatively unbiased view of the future of studying the arts and humanities as it relates to the gender at play in selecting degree pathways. 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
