Abstract
Following the continuous oppression of girls and women's education, there lies a gender gap. This gap comes in many forms with things as simple as tone and word being used to indicate just how large this gender gap is when viewed through the lens of educational effectiveness. There have been numerous studies conducted on gender bias that is perceived in an educational setting and what factors lead to this widespread bias. This same gender bias is also seen universally throughout the writing profession when comparing the number of women in the profession to the number of women writers that are having their work seen. It is especially highlighted when looking at the number of writers that are being pushed to the masses through print and online media. This gender gap raises many questions regarding the way that women and girls are perceived in society and whether or not this perception changes the way that women and girls write throughout their lives.
