The stereotype: woman
All throughout the centuries, woman of all races have been stereotyped harshly by men. Though many women are famous today, back then, most were quiet, secluded, and obedient. "A woman's place is in the kitchen" might as well be the right term for those who lived decades before us. Women are often portrayed as weak, frail, and dumb, with beauty sometimes being the only thing that is important along with loyalty to their husbands and experts at house work.
On January 1776, the Declaration of Independence was drafted, declaring that "all men are created equal". However, that meant only all "white men". When one of the men, John Adams, was drafting the new laws of the nation, his wife asked in a letter to not forget the women; who so graciously fought hard during hard times such as the Stamp Act of 1765. However, they were never considered. During the Civil War of 1861, women had the opportunity to prove themselves at home, in the work field, and even in the battle field.
The more and more America expanded and introduced new inventions to society, the more and more women continued to beautify themselves. From creams and lotions to mascaras and lipsticks, women constantly changed their looks to prove a point and to adapt to their new surroundings.
A Woman's Place by Sylvia Chidi
A Woman’s PlaceMany say
A woman’s place belongs in the kitchen
As if it a sin
That statement is pathetically mean
I mean why are we so keen
To have men as chefs
Gone are the days
When she’s only good in bed
Fattened up from being well fed
Now A woman’s place
Is with her child
To tame it from growing wild
Apart from flashing her smile and her eyelids
She’s a gem
She knows how to dance
And the true meaning of romance
To state a woman’s place
Is simply a hopeless case
A woman’s place
Is hard to say
A woman’s place
Is in her brain
She knows how to save your pennies
For the day it heavily rains
Saving you from losing face
A woman’s place is at work
For without her
There will be no sweet talk
Her place is also with her man
The guy who is her ultimate fan
She is the only one that
can soothe a mans disturbed mind
Her specie is really one of a kind
That melodic union she must span
A womans place
in this day and age
is one which we must embrace
Her changeless face
invigorates any race
