Politics, economics, war, environment, and migration are a few examples of social forces influencing shifts in women’s experience of family and community. These shifts can be felt at the global, national, and local level and can be both unsettling and devastating. Women in these family and community situations adapt to the circumstance.
Family and community are as diverse as its members, and they have a unique impact on women. How has the role of women within your family and community changed in the past 75 years? What norms were upheld and/or challenged regarding women with whom you live and work? What generational changes have you seen and experienced?
This week, you participate in a Discussion and complete a worksheet assignment analyzing literature in the form of poetry, short story, and essay to gain insight into women’s family and community experience.
