The gender roles in ancient society and today
The story that I am going to tell is a tale as old as time, the story of gender roles in society. The primary source I am choosing is “Mexica Expectations of Boys and Girls.” In the Mexica way of life, the men were warriors, priests, cultivators, artisans, and Merchants while the women were told that “It was not necessary for [them] to go anywhere”. I think that the gender roles found in this primary source can be related to societies throughout history and today’s societies. While gender roles in America become looser by the day, they remain strong in many other parts of the world so I am going to discuss that.
