Women on the Homefront Elsbeth Clarson Lauren Dyer April 28, 2009

Before the war- Depressed & Working Unskilled Labor

AMERICA AT WAR!!! When the boys are away…… The women will work! Rosie the Riveter

Agency Agency-a philosophical concept of the capacity of an agent to act in a world. Work? Women? Agency?

The Boys are Back in Town War JOBS disappear GI Bill & Homestead Act- no money down houses Move to the suburbs!

Opportunities

Homeward Bound Nuclear Family- 2 kids, a dog, a white picket fence

STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS! Calculator—prestigious professions-skilled-lots of money Broom—housework-unskilled labor—paid little to nothing Money-The driving economic force Goods-material possessions

Think Aloud! What did you notice about who got the money? Why did the men receive the calculators again? What does that signify? Connect to REAL LIFE: How would you feel if you were given the opportunity to have a more profound impact on the world? What emotions would you experience if those opportunities were taken away? Fair or Unfair?

Kelly Longitudinal Study (KLS) Gathered in the late 1930’s-1950’s Question for Married couples Find out what is really going on in married lives

PART B: YOU. YOUR WIFE, AND YOUR MARRIAGE In some ways life is like a play. You each take a turn at playing a number of different parts. At various times you are a breadwinner, handyman, host, participant in community affairs, friend and companion to your wife, lover and sexual partner to your wife, and father. You have probably found that you are naturally better cast for some of these parts that you are for others. Some men may play the parts of father and handyman best. Others may be best fitted for breadwinner, host, and participant in community affairs. And still others may be best as friends to their wives.
