This week provides a "grab bag" of social institutions where women

This week provides a "grab bag" of social institutions where women have traditionally encountered strictly-defined roles: the family, media, arts, education, religion, even language. As a response to this topic, and referring to at least three of the learning resources for the week,

FIRST, in a paragraph or two, discuss what connects the expectations of women in all of the learning resources this week. Are there any common threads despite the differences in the various resources and the institutions they present?

SECOND, choose one of the following options: 

A. Pick a single institution described in the readings, and talk about how perceptions of and expectations of women have changed. In addition to referring to the learning resources, include specific examples from history, the news, the media, or your own life. Remember to consider intersectional identity in your response.

B. Discuss what needs to change to see equality in one or more of the institutions presented in this week's learning resources. How will we know if it has been achieved? In addition to referring to the learning resources, include specific examples from history, the news, the media, or your own life. Remember to consider intersectional identity in your response.
