26. Complete tasks from yesterday...

27. Present
While you listen to others present, turn to your graphic organizer and list roles for women on the 18th & 19th Century T chart.
For each presenter, let’s answer the question: “Do the words or image reinforce or defy accepted gender roles for women during this time period?”

29. “Women ought to have representatives, instead of being governed without any direct share allowed them in the discussions and running of government.”
--Mary Wollstonecraft, 1792

30. “Now their separate characters are briefly these: The man’s power is active, progressive, defensive. His intellect is for thinking and invention; his energy for adventure, for war, and for conquest... But the woman’s power is for routine, not for battle, and her intellect is not for invention or creation, but for sweet ordering, arrangement, and decision. Her great function is praise … By her position, and place, she is protected from all danger and temptation.”
John Ruskin, Lecture, 1865

31. “One sex is formed for the more difficult exercises of government, the field and providing for the family. The other, for the management of the household, and for spreading happiness through social life. When a woman quits her own responsibilities, she offends her husband, not merely because she forces herself into his business but because she departs from that sphere which is assigned her in the order of society. Each sex feels a degree of pride in being best qualified for a particular position, and a degree of resentment when the other intrudes upon their rights.”
Anonymous, 1788, “An Address to the Ladies,” American Magazine

35. “When I took up my pen I decided to leave the field of politics to those whose proper business it is to think or theorize and to react to these boycotts and protests; but the events that have lately taken place are so alarming and so interwoven with the enjoyments of social and family life as to command the attention of the mother and the wife.”
--Letter from Mercy Otis Warren to Hannah Winthrop, 1774

37. “I know you do not make the laws, but I also know that you are the wives and mothers, the sisters and daughters, of those who do, and if you really suppose you can do nothing to overthrow slavery, you are greatly mistaken.”
--Angelina Grimke-Weld, 1836

40. "You see madam I ignore the opinion that women make different politicians. It may be true in general, but the present age has given at least one opposite example … When remarks or opinions are just and honorable, I think it unimportant whether they flow from a female lip in the soft whispers of private friendship or whether thundered in the Senate in the fearless language of the other sex."
--Mercy Warren to Catherine Macauley- Richards

42. QUIZ
