The purpose of this blog will to be focus on the roles women have played within several in-class texts. Basically, we will be analyzing the social standards imposed on women, their place within society, and their symbolic meaning within said society. The claims we will develop are that women have played a submissive yet powerful role within society as intermediaries of class, wealth, fortune and, in some cases, superstition. Finally, we will discuss the evolution of women within society towards the end of our project.
