Document Summary
Lecture 3 may 8th, 2012 (slide 3) Some cultures were matrilineal, matrilocal, and matrifocal (know these) Iroquois: women owned land & seeds, men needed female approval (slide 4) Reservations & powerless band councils (have virtually no power over decision making) Women who marry non-indian lose legal status (slide 5) Hierarchical & patriarchal, wives subordinate to husbands, children obey. Status determined at birth & then determined by contribution to community. *children no education + child slave workers (slide 6) *women devalued because not paid at home (slide 7) Women were non-persons (not independent beings under the law) No legal protections (from sexual assault or any other laws) (slide 8) Women could best serve family by: limiting themselves to domestic spheres. Stereotypes of fragile, angelic, pure, need protection from father, husband. Translation: barefoot in the kitchen with 8 kids (her translation lol) (slide 10) Girls took domestic science courses to prepare them to be barefoot in the kitchen.
