Story after story delineates the end of male exclusivity, whether in the role of pioneer, breadwinner, intellectual, or suitor; and this is so imminent a phenomenon that no one is quite alert to the reverberations and implications."]]> 2017-04-25 17:28:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tb_227959/165phs5lhsg5/wish/168181041 Working women in the 1930's tb_227959 https://padlet.com/tb_227959/165phs5lhsg5/wish/168182114 2017-04-25 17:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tb_227959/165phs5lhsg5/wish/168182114 The fashion included. “high waist”, fitted hips, longer mid-calf or floor length hemline, high neckline, and wide shoulders. tb_227959 https://padlet.com/tb_227959/165phs5lhsg5/wish/168183911 2017-04-25 17:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tb_227959/165phs5lhsg5/wish/168183911 Quote by: Margaret Atwood dw222743 https://padlet.com/tb_227959/165phs5lhsg5/wish/168186179  That's why Alice's stories are so place- and time-specific. What people eat, what they wear, what appliances they are using, are all important to her. She is interested in questions of authenticity; she looks at her characters' fronts and pretensions, at what effect they are trying to achieve, and then she examines what lies underneath. Maybe the characters see through each other, and so they have social lies, such as, "You look terrific." Sometimes they mean it benignly; sometimes they don't. She writes about the difficulties faced by people who are bigger or smaller than they are expected to be. When her protagonists look back, from later points of view, the older people they have become possess within them all of the people that they have been. She's very good on what people expect, and then on the letdown. ]]> 2017-04-25 17:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tb_227959/165phs5lhsg5/wish/168186179 Quote by: Marlene Goldman dw222743 https://padlet.com/tb_227959/165phs5lhsg5/wish/168694682 “My father was a fox farmer.” So begins Alice Munro's short story “Boys and Girls,” a narrative which highlights the almost invisible societal forces which shape children, in this case, the narrator and her brother Laird, into gendered adults. There is no doubt that males and females are biologically distinct at birth. Yet the behaviors and roles ascribed to each sex on the basis of this biological distinction are not natural. In this study, then, when I speak of gender, I refer not to sex, but to this set of prescribed behaviors."]]> 2017-04-27 16:49:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tb_227959/165phs5lhsg5/wish/168694682 A popular song of the 1930's was "Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland tb_227959 https://padlet.com/tb_227959/165phs5lhsg5/wish/168698580 2017-04-27 17:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tb_227959/165phs5lhsg5/wish/168698580 *Photo Credit (Padlet Wallpaper): tb_227959 https://padlet.com/tb_227959/165phs5lhsg5/wish/168701910 CBC Books]]> 2017-04-27 17:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tb_227959/165phs5lhsg5/wish/168701910
