What contributions made women in Latin America in the 1800||

History
1 answer:
Alex3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The role of women in colonial Latin American society was markedly different than that of men. Men were supposed to be intelligent, active, independent; women were usually portrayed as silly, passive, dependent creatures. Men were charged with protecting their family's honor and fortune whereas women could endanger them through sexual misbehavior. Men could freely come and go, but women's physical movement was closely scrutinized. In other words, gender mattered.

Colonial Latin American women lived in a patriarchal society, a world in which men occupied positions of authority and power. In general men had rights over women that they did not have over other men, and women did not have over themselves. Men also defined acceptable female conduct, and controlled the justice system, which punished those who overstepped the established boundaries of acceptable behavior. But even here there was always some room for negotiation, for protecting a women who had failed to adhere to the rules of the game. The culture of patriarchy was never as absolute in reality as it was in theory.

But race and class also mattered, both in determining what was expected from any woman and in defining the possible roles open to her. The parameters of acceptable female conduct and activities were closely tied to her social class and racial category. Elite white women were to be chaste and under the direct supervision of their male kin.
