Document Summary

Way to challenge the terrible things that come along with this. Access to industrialization way for us to advance and get the good things for the west, while critiquing the bad. Imperialism justified as a way to liberate women. Colonial rule and the invention of tradition. Colonialism based on a system of divide and rule (gender is a part of this) Development of wage labor disrupts the african household. Traditional african society male power (women"s roles decline) Lack of will to keep the colonies. Peaceful transition but then rule is okay. Armed conflict (in places where europeans live; settler colonies; will fight to keep land) French settler colony established in 1830 (pied noirs) You aren"t civilized because of how you treat women. Focus on economic issues not private matters (not talking about women"s liberation, because once we achieve economic, women will be liberated as well) Women are nationalists first; feminism comes second. Women play multiple roles in the war.
