A part in mistletoe folklore comes from Norse mythology. As the story goes, when the god Odin’s son Baldur was prophesied to die, his mother Frigg, the goddess of love, went to all the animals and plants of the natural world to secure an oath that they would not harm him. But Frigg neglected to consult with the unassuming mistletoe, so the scheming god Loki made an arrow from the plant and saw that it was used to kill the otherwise invincible Baldur. According to one sunnier version of the myth, the gods were able to resurrect Baldur from the dead. Delighted, Frigg then declared mistletoe a symbol of love and vowed to plant a kiss on all those who passed beneath it.

Technically, it traces back to ancient Norse mythology. At least, that's where the mistletoe's association with romance came from. It really picked up in the 18th century, when it became a tradition for British servants to kiss under a mistletoe. The tradition spread from there.

Answer:

women earning less than men for similar work.

Explanation:

Inequality between men and women in the labor market, the theme seems old and outdated, but it is real and closer than we imagine. Women still earn less than men even when they are in the same area and occupy the same positions as male professionals.

With a simple labor market analysis it is possible to see that women have the skills to take on any job. Professionals are subject to errors and correctness regardless of their gender, for these reasons, different wages between men and women who occupy the same function show a serious case of inequality in the work environment.

Why was he woman from New Orleans reluctant to join the nawsa
Zepler [3.9K]

The reason that the women of New Orleans were reluctant to join the National American Woman Suffrage Association is the conservatism of the region. The suffrage movement was seen as an offshoot of the abolitionist movement, which the many of the locals did not support. White supremacists also tried to commandeer the movement for the protection of their own interests, which was divisive enough on its own, and southern legislatures ultimately rejected this proposal, effectively shutting down this wave of suffragism.
