Women and Slavery
When I was reading what Kean and Campbell said about gender and sexuality I liked how the brought other people opinions into the dissusion. I liked the comparison that Angelina Grimke mad about how oppressed women and slaves were not much different. When she questioned how women should have-to adopted into certain roles of society and men can just assume there roles. She uses the words doll/child/pet to describe how women are put into roles while the man always has the label master with his name. When reading over all this you realize how far women have come. Women still have that house wife status but sometimes that just happens because of kids or its just easier for them to stay at home. I have noticed a lot of my friends moms and my mom work till they had kids and by the time we all hit 11 or 12 years old they went back to work. What Elizabeth C. Stanton and Susan B. Anthony did and fighting for women rights helped get what today's modern woman off and going.
