Metlakatla HW -- Woman in the 19th Century Questions


1.     Miranda father had no sentimental reverence for women, but believed strongly in equality of the sexes.
2.     When they describe a woman as above her sex that mean that she is better or more manly then other women.
3.      “…And I feel so sure that persistence and courage are the most womanly no less than most manly qualities…” when Fuller writes this she means that persistence and courage are important qualities of both men and women.
4.     When fuller describes Margret, some of the characteristics that she possessed were self-reliant, out-spoken, and independent. She was raised to believe in herself and have self confidence, instead of be raised on the idea that she had to find a man to provide for her and that he needs to rely on someone else to be a successful woman.
