The idea that unequal treatment and social mistreatment are still constant struggles is addressed in Angelina Price’s essay “Working Class Whites” and bell hooks’ essay “Eating the Other: Desire and Resistance.

Her servants and maids judge her and keep her restricted to her gender roles as decided by the social order.

This oppression is represented by her servants and maids surrounding her.
In this essay, I will define and discuss gender-role socialization. I will also explain how the various dimensions of the masculine role and the feminine role can lead to role conflict. I will also discuss the relationship between traditional gender-role socialization and the violence against women, specifically wife abuse. Gender-role socialization is the life-long process by which women and men learn behaviors expected of them in a given society.
