Abstract

Success is usually the result of a combination of luck and skills, but in general, observers tend to ignore the role of luck. That is, until they see a woman occupying a role that is cast as “masculine”. Odessa S Hamilton writes that while men are seen as being instrumental in their own success, women are only seen as skilled in roles that are considered feminine. Otherwise, they are considered lucky.
