HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Just a reminder (or notice for those who missed class on Tuesday):

You will be quizzed on Chapters 11, 13, and 14 on the Thursday after Thanksgiving (Dec 3).

I realize that is a LOT, which is why I provided 12 pages of outlines for those chapters. If you were not in class Tuesday, try to find someone who was and get those outlines! If I can find a scanner, I will scan them for you.

See you next Tuesday...

Questions

Remember, if you didn't finish your four questions in class, finish them as homework. The questions are:

Foundations: Gender Questions
Directions: Answer the questions comparatively with analysis. For example: Women in Sub-Saharan Africa and Pre-Columbian America were in charge of economics in the marketplace. This is because in these matriarchal societies the women controlled the land and were thus in charge of those items produced from the land.
1.What part did women play in trade, business, or commercial activity?

2.What influence did a woman’s education have in determining job opportunities during this time period?

3.How would you characterize the difference in opportunities for elite and non-elite women?

4.How did women fit into the bureaucracy of these kingdoms or empires? Did this influence their political or legal rights?
