| − | | + | In this document submitted by French Jesuits, we get a glimpse into the European males' attitude towards gender roles and its response by Native women. Although in some pre-contact societies women and men had a division of gender roles, the relationship was otherwise equal (in other words, wives weren't subordinate to their spouse.) This article sheds light on the great lengths that some Native women would go through to avoid the oppressive European policies. For example, in this particular document, a native woman actually runs away at the thought she will have to "obey her husband." I believe the historical significance of this story also shows how native women were not quietly submissive, but on the contrary, actively resistent. - Seth Mintzer |
