Pick a period in Western history OR a non-Western traditional society and write about the role of women in that period or society.
Pick a period in Western history OR a non-Western
traditional society and write about the role of women in that period or
society. You could, for example, examine the role of women in ancient Greek
society, Roman society, medieval society, and/or in American society in
antebellum South or in the industrial North before the Civil War. Or you could
examine the role of women in traditional Arabic tribal society, African
society, Latin American tribal society, Inuit culture, and so forth. (You can
research any one of these topics through the library or by utilizing good
online resources; this is a mini research project.) You can focus on one or
more than one society, depending on your own interest in the research.
