ONE: Choose an image of 1790s women from this website:
pinterest.com/aldenob/1790s-portraits-of-american-women/
Then explain:
o   Who created it and when (if provided)
o   What you believe it shows
o   How it represents the lives of women in the 1790s
o   Be sure to include at least one specific piece of evidence from the documents to support your post
o   Put your name in the title of your post
TWO: Pick which one of your other group member's posts you think was best -make a new post next to it explaining why. Be sure to include one piece of evidence backing up your decision and include your name.

You are by no means limited to JUST these posts. The more we interact in our groups the more we will all take away from the class. The more conversation the better!

 All posts must be completed by midnight on Sunday.

It show a headstrong and I would say a bit sassy young woman. The entire second document is one of the first assertions by American woman of their equality to men. To me this woman is independent and rightfully believes she is equal to any man. ]]> 2020-06-28 18:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/f167m03wea00/wish/642316637 Benjamin Case https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/f167m03wea00/wish/642468591 This is a portrait of Anne Willing Bingham, painted in 1797 by Gilbert Charles Stuart. It depicts Anne Willing Bingham busying herself, reading. She's very intelligent, and well-educated. Women of that day had a different education than men did, and were treated more "delicately," making it appear as though a common belief of the day was that women were less intelligent than, or unequal with men by nature - this is evident on page 154 of "Reading the American Past" wherein Judith Sargent Murry writes about how women weren't allowed to read books of a technical or scholarly type. They were instead only allowed to read books "of a novel kind." She then spent the rest of her article, "On the Equality of the Sexes," arguing that intelligence transcends sex; that is to say, that women aren't less intelligent by virtue of their sex. Rather, women ought to be equally viewed and treated as intelligent beings.]]> 2020-06-29 00:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/f167m03wea00/wish/642468591 Benjamin Case https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/f167m03wea00/wish/642483208 I think Andrew's post was the best. It met the criteria, was concise, and he chose a good painting to write a commentary on. His painting also makes evident another topic covered in our material, and that's the highlighting of how early women began asserting what rights were theirs by nature, and fighting against societal norms to achieve equal status among their piers.]]> 2020-06-29 01:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/f167m03wea00/wish/642483208 Kamryn Harding https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/f167m03wea00/wish/642502216 This is a portrait of Mrs. Cephas Smith, Jr. and a child and it was painted by Williams Jennys in 1803. I believe it shows the life of a women during this time and how it was about raising the children for most women. In a letter written by Judith Sargent Murray, she says "every requisite in female economy is easily attained; and, with the truth I can add, that once attained, they require no further mental attention" and I think this quote really emphasizes how little men expected of women. They would leave the women at home all day to raise the kids and do the house work so it wasn't much.]]> 2020-06-29 01:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/f167m03wea00/wish/642502216 Kamryn Harding replying to Benjamin Case https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/f167m03wea00/wish/642508290 I think Benjamin Case post was the best because it really dug down into the intelligence of women, which was something that was extremely underrated during this time.]]> 2020-06-29 02:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/f167m03wea00/wish/642508290
