Two other females that had nicknames are known as a sexual need in the film because McMurphy invited them over to seduce the guard and Billy. First, women are inferior to men because they were never given a position of power. During the 1960s, woman did not have any experience with power because they still lived in a society where men are taking control. In quote, “These gender roles have been used very successfully to justify inequities, which still occur today, such as excluding women from equal access to leadership and decision – making positions” (Tyson, page 85). Males still see females as patriarchal women, not as leaders or decision makers.
Perhaps the women felt envy for the other women, knowing that they were married and had a man in their lives, while the accusers were alone and had no one? This seems to be something that historians should definitely look into, since jealousy can very well be more credible than other things they look
They are expected to be obedient and followers of men in their families. For example, Lady Capulet and Lady Montague can do nothing to stop their husbands' anger towards their villains. Lady Montague doesn't care much about the feud between two families as she doesn't want Romeo involved in the fighting. Juliet's character is a clear example of women's role. She has little guidance and help from her family.
Women’s restriction in the workforce was also because of their forced dependency on men and poor socio-economic status of women. Women were seen to have no intelligence; their higher education was not seen as needed. Only those women who had higher social standings and wealth had a right to higher education. Along with Christian woman’s lack of higher of education, they were highly subordinate to men, meaning their father, brothers, and husband. They were not a loud to own land and also had to pass on their inheritance to their husband.
June is another victim of patriarchal oppression just like Connie’s mother, a typical “house wife”. Both the mother’s and sister’s roles fully reflect how women were treated at that time. They were controlled by males, displayed a lack of confidence and did not have their own independent self-consciousness. Oates used Connie’s independent identity and rebellious behaviors to represent women’s dissatisfaction with patriarchy, but had no courage to make a change. When Oates starts the story by introducing Connie without a last name, Oates created a character with a clear independent identity, while at the same time rebelling against the patriarchy.
Also, he was perceived as “socially acceptable” by most everyone; he was a prominent businessman and Governor. Jody, however, was not the love Janie was ultimately seeking; he did not treat her with the respect that a husband should give a wife. Although Janie does not leave him, she once again goes against the status quo. Prior to his death, she confronts him about how he treated her and takes control: “ you goingtuh listen tuh me one time befo’ you die” (86). At the time, a women’s role in a marriage was to take care of the home, produce children, and be obedient to their husbands.
Aren’t I a Woman? The general argument made by author Sojourner Truth in her work, “Aren’t I a Woman” is that black women are not treated equally. More specifically, author Truth argues that no women is treated equally to a man, nor are women treated equally to each other. Men did not ever see women as equals in any way shape or form. It was only ever the men that were able to have rights.
Her popularity was often displayed by newspapers and magazines. Daisy, as she “seen everything and done everything” (Fitzgerald 22), she cannot stand the very thought of her throwing away her rich lifestyle and popularity by marrying Gatsby. As a “sophisticated” (Fitzgerald 22) woman, she knew that if she married a poor soldier like Jay Gatsby, he would not be able to support her lifestyle and she would not have the same view that the society has about her: a rich, aristocratic woman. Her actions proved that no matter where she went, “her voice [will always be] full of money.” (Fitzgerald 127). As the Beatles would say, money cannot buy love.

As a result of this, social mobility was limited at this time and people socialised in small circles, with only those of a similar class. Any socialisation out of this was seen as absurd. It was women especially that felt the limitations of the late 18th century/early 19th century, as there were strict expectations of them. Women were seen as possessions of men, and expected to be educated and well behaved, mostly in hope to ensure themselves a husband of wealth in order to further themselves as women did not inherit any land or money from their fathers, this went to the closest male relative. Any kind of acting out of against the expected image of a woman would be seen as shameful and would lead to isolation even further in terms of socialisation and the hope of a husband.
