**Research Project - Assigned Tuesday, January 31 / Due Monday, February 6**
**__Women’s Changing place Through History__** It isn’t likely that the characters in The Taming of the Shrew would have thought of themselves as being affected by sexism. In fact the word did not exist until quite recently. The way that women have been seen has changed dramatically throughout history. Your small group will research the treatment of women during a specific period in history. We are focusing on Europe and the US for this study but if you find relevant information about another part of the world you may check with me to see if you should use it in your presentation. __Research Questions:__ 1. What were the customs regarding marriage, divorce, dating (?), ownership of property, etc.? 2. What were the customs regarding education and employment for women? 3. What did women wear? What rules were there regarding clothing for women? What does this say about a woman’s place in society? 4. What did the women who lived then think of their own place in society? How many women were writing about their lives and experiences? What did they say? __**Time Period Groups**__ Medieval Renaissance Victorian Age 1920’s 1950’s 1960’s & 1970’s 1980’s to the present __**Project Requirements**__
