Women have been viewed as weaker than men and are were meant […]
Out of all of the subjects presented to us in introductory anthropology, none has sparked such a discussion as week eights topic of gender and power. The interest of the class interested me, and I chose to focus on this anthropological theme for that reason.

Regarding any background information, I have consulted my class notes as well […]

Society teaches us that man and woman have different roles from a very tender age […]
