Post-colonialism (also known as post-colonial theory) refers to a set of theories in philosophy and literature that grapple with the legacy of colonial rule. As a literary theory or critical approach it deals with literature produced in countries that were once, or are now, colonies of other countries. It may also deal with literature written in or by citizens of colonizing countries that takes colonies or their peoples as its subject matter. Postcolonial theory became part of the critical toolbox in the 1970s, and many practitioners take Edward Said's book Orientalism to be the theory's founding work.\n\nGo to the link if you want to know more...

I'm curious about the role of women in the Kuran and with the religion of Islam.  Is it more cultural that women seem to be submissive?  Or is it actually written in the Kuran?\n\nbrasilianrain4@yahoo.com

For Nazis the role of the woman was to stay at home and keep the household and get children. For example they had special medals (called mutterkreuz) for woman with many children.

I have no idea which "women's suffrage movement" you are referring to. I don't know of any such movement in 1960 (certainly wasn't in the U.S.). But there's some information on women's suffrage around the globe at:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Womens_suffrage#Timeline

The first answer is correct, the story is good.  It's a great example of how women were (and are still in some cases) treated and how detrimental it can be.  Definitely worth reading!!

This book is a classic enthnographic text that needs to be read by all those who are interested in revealling the social forces that shapes our lives as a people living under this last state of Capitalism, that others call a Globalised world. Even though Paul Willis was looking at Working class kids in England, I have found the application of his methodology applicable even in the context of a post Apartheid state like South Africa where we talk of the "historically disadvantaged learner" as an eupermism for the same phenomenon that Willis has studies.\n\nNice light reading matter there.

Women were liberated.  They actually became real people who can think for themselves & are no longer controlled & submissive to their husbands.  They can almost earn same incomes & contribute greatly to the finances of the family.\n\nThose women who stay at home now have made that choice to do so, has nothing to do with having to be a second class human being to the male in the household.'

Women have been leading/ruling countries for  a long time.  I am not even going to list any because there are 4 that were some of the most powerful in history and I am not talking about anyone before 1900.  any student of powerful leaders of history would know them.  As far as women not being able to handle it...how many men could say they could handle childbirth without ever having gone through it themselves?  how many men could face the decision of having or not having a child?  how many men can understand what it is to live/breath/birth a live human being? Women are designed to bear pain better...although most men disagree simply because they see only one side. \n\n2) People use the excuse "I would but haven't found one qualified yet"  really?  anyone who has done even the smallest amount of study of US presidents (US Presidents for Dummies, I'm serious) would see the HORRIFYING people that have lived in the White House.  Qualifications DO NOT get you elected to the White house!!!  it is party politics, wedge issues, psychological marketing, campaign themes/strategy.  Women/black/indians/japanese...where would these groups be if change for the sake of change had not occurred\n\n3) in my experience in retail management/college/government  I find women to be just as qualified and experienced leaders.  there is no physical or mental quality to leading that men have and women do not.  Leading is Leading and a person who can, will...and a person who can't...won't.\n\nthe answer to the question now...\n\na lot of men say "can't handle stress," "the islamic countries," "better decision-making," " PMS."  Strom Thurmond believed and actively voted in a segregationist USA...thankfully his vision did not come to pass.  Dred Scott/Plessy v Ferguson.  Men who use the above mentioned quotes use the same attachment to history and tradition(even though history has proven women to be very capable)  They look for excuses why not rather than why and will never truly see the positive side to having a female commander in chief.  They probably have some unresolved issue with women and the idea of subordination to one.\n\nWomen who say no...don't understand it...I'm a guy\n\neveryone else who says yeah...kudos for thinking outside the box and prefering to be on the winning side of history.

Women's roles were limited in the colonial times. Marriage and motherhood were the primary goals for women. They lost property and legal rights upon marriage.2 Therefore, women were not expected to participate in the war.\n\nDespite their low positions in society, women did participate. On the home front, they sewed uniforms and knitted stockings for the soldiers. With their husbands away fighting, some women had to take over as weavers, carpenters, blacksmiths, or shipbuilders. Others transformed their homes into hospitals for the wounded. One famous caretaker was Margaret Hill Morris. Because she demonstrated great expertise in medicine and herbal remedies, the sick depended on her. Every morning she made rounds to sick or wounded soldiers lodged in area homes.
