IntroductionIn this article I investigate the correlation between family income and an individual's gender and their position on feminism. I expect that women living in a higher income household would be more likely to support feminism than lower income individuals of either sex because they would have greater access to time and resources to support women's equality . While lower-class women were busy performing traditional housewife duties, upper-class women had the privilege of hiring maids, cooks, and nannies to perform these tasks for them, thus giving upper-class women more free time to devote to to them. engage in other social activities. My findings, gleaned from Disney's 1964 production, Mary Poppins, and 1972 survey data, suggest that overall, a majority of women, especially those living in the top 33rd percentile of America's income bracket, supported feminism. Overall, men of all income levels were evenly split on their stance on feminism. Interpretation As technology advanced and became more popular during the 1960s, movies and television became more accessible to Americans. Popular media during that time usually represented some kind of social norm present in society. A prevalent stereotype to focus on during this time was that of living in a small nuclear family where the father is the main source of income and the mother is the housewife who cooks, cleans, and takes care of the children. Disney musical production Mary Poppins, the plot focuses on this type of family unit. The patriarch of this family, George Banks, is a partner in a well-established bank, which indicates that this family belongs to a high income bracket. As a result, the Banks family is able to ...... middle of paper ......ncome, who are "in the middle" in their position for equal rights for women and men. Conclusion As popular social media, such as Mary Poppins, and the ANES survey data in Figure 1 and Figure 2 show that my hypothesis that women – especially those in the top 33rd percentile of household income – would be more likely to support equal rights for men and women is partially correct. While it is true that females in the highest 33rd percentile of household income were more likely to support feminism than males in this income bracket, women in the lowest 67th percentile of household income were less likely to support feminism than to males in this income bracket. As illustrated in Mary Poppins, this relationship may have been caused by a combination of both the amount of free time women had during their days and the willingness of men to give up their position of superiority over women..
