Virginia Woolf:

1.  Women back in Shakespeare's time had a rough life, so she was pretty much was comparing the life women live today to the life they lived back in his time.


2.  It shows concerns on the way men treated women back in that time, because women should have never been treated that way.


3.  Woolf put huge emphasis based on how women had to stay home and take care of the house while men were out working. Women were inferior to men so at the time they didn't need education. Woolf probably would have suggested though that women do get more education for the future. 


Mead:


1. Men were tough, aggressive, with the maternal cherishing aspects of the minimum. While women overreact, are stern, they gossip and hold grudges.  


2. In today's society, women were taught to deal with their own problems and to be financially and emotionally dependent.


3. Women are expected to act womanly and follow the standards. When they go away from that and act manly it was said to mess the system up.


4. Because it is very limiting. If we weren't very judging on sex in the first place, society would run more smoothly. When we do this it hurts peoples confidence and self-esteem.

  1. Number 3 says Women are expected to act womanly and follow the standards. When they go away from that and act manly it was said to mess the system up. I've tried several times and I can't get that part to look right
