Protestant apologists claim the Plot was real, the danger was real, and only narrowly averted (by God's special favor).Īntonia Fraser is a leading popular historian of the Tudor and Stuart periods of English history, as well as an accomplished novelist. Catholic apologists have claimed that the whole thing was invented by Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury, King James' chief minister, and master of a vast intelligence network, with the assistance of Sir Edward Coke as Crown Prosecutor. The Gunpowder Plot has long been highly controversial.

This isn’t to say that women shouldn’t ask to be paid more, of course. It is down to gender stereotyping, the researchers explained, as women may face a backlash for adopting “traditionally unfeminine” behaviour to get ahead in the workplace. Harvard Kennedy School professor Hannah Riley Bowles and her colleagues found across several studies that women were more likely to be penalised – treated negatively or seen as less likeable – if they asked for pay rises. Unlike men, they have to weigh up the benefits of negotiating more pay against the social consequences of having negotiated. Sandberg suggests women could help shrink the gender pay gap by negotiating more effectively for higher pay, but women who do negotiate face a dilemma. ![]() There is a serious lack of women in positions of leadership, with just 24% of senior roles held by women around the world, according to Catalyst.Īt face value, leaning in – negotiating for promotions, higher pay and better jobs – seems like a decent solution.

If you are a woman working at a large UK company, you ar e most likely working at a firm which, on average, pays men more than women. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Henrik Johan Ibsen was a major Norwegian playwright largely responsible for the rise of modern realistic drama. Ibsen disliked the translator William Archer's use of the word 'Ghosts' as the play's title, whereas the Norwegian Gengangere would be more accurately translated as The Revenants, which literally means The Ones who Return. It was not performed in the theatre until May 1882, when a Danish touring company produced it in the Aurora Turner Hall in Chicago. Ghosts was written during the autumn of 1881 and was published in December of the same year. Scandalous in its day for its frank discussion of venereal disease and marriage infidelity, Ghosts remains to this day an intense psychological drama and sharp social criticism. Ghosts is a scathing indictment of Victorian society in which Ibsen refutes the notion that if one simply fulfills one's duty rather than following one's desires then a good and noble life will be achieved. ![]() ![]() Ghosts is the story of Helen Alving, a widow who is haunted by the many mistresses of her deceased husband and by her son who has inherited syphilis from his philandering father. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first wedding might have been German or Swedish.
