Below is an example summary of this reading selection: Deborah Tannen describes the dress and appearance of several women she encounters at a conference, noting how their choices “mark” them, or send signals to those they encounter. Tannen argues that while men can choose styles of dress or behavior that go unnoticed or “unmarked,” this option is unavailable to women. Your summary will differ from this one in the way it is written, but it should include roughly the same information.
