In regards to Kate Haulman's reading I found her comments regarding woman's work versus mans work on page 5, "knitting as woman's work versus carpentry as man's" interesting. She attempts to redefine gender roles and challenge how we view women and men in society. I agree with efritz's comment the roles should not be stereotyped by gender males and females can perform the same duty and have a common goal of providing for themselves/family. -Megan W. | In regards to Kate Haulman's reading I found her comments regarding woman's work versus mans work on page 5, "knitting as woman's work versus carpentry as man's" interesting.

| + | I also agree with Erin S.'s comments earlier on Bock's definitions of women, she looks at them in two separate spheres but the last sentence in her reading stood out the most to me. She is defining women as being in the home by baking the cake and making sure everyone else is satisfied before she even helps herself. Bock does recognize different approaches need to be taken in studying women but do other historians believe women have always acted this way? Or is this the role women were suppose to play as the provider for the family, never putting her needs before anyone elses? - Megan W. | ||
