| Thursday | Colonial America Intimately Oppressed Notes • It can be argued that Native American women during the pre and colonial time in America were treated with more respect and provided more opportunity than Europeans. European perceptions of women are described as possessive and abusive. Explain w/ details from the Zinn reading- • This “education” of European women as subordinate began at childhood, was reinforced through society’s expectations, and enforced through law. Examples from the Zinn reading - • Women served many roles, soldier, teacher, farmer, worker, etc. As one of their roles, women were charged with maintaining the household. This served as a form of “separate but equal” role as the work was very important, but left women isolated from community. • Despite this, there were many women who rejected conformity and rebelled against the then current gender expectations. Examples from the Zinn reading - Read Zinn's Intimately Oppressed |
