"OK! OK! Hold it!
I just want to say something.
You know, for every dollar a man makes
a woman makes 63 cents.
Now, fifty years ago that was 62 cents.
So, with that kind of luck, it'll be the year 3,888
before we make a buck. But hey, girls?"

The song talks about how men are making more money than women.

"So frail and delicate and weak,
A strong and brave one is an anomaly
'Keep in your place'
Barefoot and pregnant and just don't speak!
But if Mom or Wife ain't there
He just can't function can he?"

Brings up the topic that women were seen as not as powerful, and they were oppressed, but that men could not function without them.]]> 2016-10-31 21:14:53 UTC https://padlet.com/00crene/englishsummative/wish/134355779 Song 3 00crene https://padlet.com/00crene/englishsummative/wish/134359880 "Just because I'm a Woman" - Dolly Parton

“Yes I’ve made my mistakes, but listen and understand, my mistakes are no worse than yours just because I’m a woman.”

This is used to show how men usually received the benefit of the doubt, and women were looked down upon simply because of their gender.]]> 2016-10-31 21:52:02 UTC https://padlet.com/00crene/englishsummative/wish/134359880 Song 4 00crene https://padlet.com/00crene/englishsummative/wish/134359949 "Black Eyes, Blue Tears" - Shania Twain

"I'd rather die standing
Than live on my knees
Begging please, no more"

This quote from the song is a perfect example of Mamma's resilience.]]> 2016-10-31 21:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/00crene/englishsummative/wish/134359949 Song 5 00crene https://padlet.com/00crene/englishsummative/wish/134359977 "I Am Woman" - Helen Reddy

"Yes, I am wise, but it's wisdom for the pain
Yes, I've paid the price, but look how much I've gained,
If I have to, I can do anything,
I am strong, I am invincible, I am Woman."

This is a good example of all of the strong women in Maya's life.]]> 2016-10-31 21:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/00crene/englishsummative/wish/134359977 Works Cited 00crene https://padlet.com/00crene/englishsummative/wish/134365151
