Document Summary
Gccp pg 148-151 gender business and space control: yoruba market. Gccp pg 81-bottom of 83 the domestic spheres. Men have some authority over women, have culturally legitimated right to her subordination and compliance. Confinement of women in the domestic spheres and men"s ability to create and dominate the political sphere thus accounted for the men"s ability to hold a greater share of power and authority. Men and women had different activities and interests. Women are important structural links between social groups and acts as meditators. The domestic/public dichotomy is not realistic, should recognize domains occupied by men and another by women. Agency-communality dichotomy: best describe the gender stereotypes that we have in our society. Rosaldo: proposed a framework to observe/examine this phenomenon called the domestic / Public spheres or the ideology of the two spheres. A key point: rosaldo"s original incarnation of the model = this split was universal.
