Poverty and hardship are shown to create vulnerability in female characters, particularly the female servants, allowing powerful men to manipulate and sexually abuse them. Kent illustrates how poverty perpetuates maltreatment and abuse in a society like Burial Rites using the characters of Agnes’ mother Ingveldur and Agnes. Agnes’ mother is forced to make invidious choices as her children are “lugged along” from farm to farm, where she is sexually exploited by her employers. In spite of these circumstances, Agnes’ mother is commonly referred to as a whore in their society which abhors female promiscuity yet disregards male promiscuity as a harmless character trait; as in the case of Natan, who is merely “indiscreet” despite all his philandering. Born into poverty, Agnes experiences similar sexual coercion and manipulation from her “masters” and yet is labelled “a woman who is loose with her emotions and looser with her morals”. The severe poverty of Agnes is explicitly demonstrated to the reader by Kent through the intertextual reference of her entire belongings - a very dismal, piteous list to be “sold if a decent offer is presented”. Furthermore, Kent contrasts the situation of Agnes, a “landless workmaid raised on a porridge of moss and poverty”, to the comparative security Steina has experienced using a rhetorical question from

Sojourner endured many hardships during her life. She witnessed her parents get auctioned off. Also, she suffered from her feet in the cold during the winter.

At fourteen, during her wedding her lover's mistress killed him with a poisoned drink. She went with her mother to their estate in Gaeta. On the way pirates boarded the ship and raped the women and sailed to Morocco to sell them as slaves. There was a war going on in Morocco and the pirates were attacked, the old woman saw her mother and maids of honor ripped apart by men. She somehow survived, fell asleep under a tree and woke up to an Italian man trying to rape her. She met a country man who had once served at her mother's palace he promised to take her back to Italy but took her to Algiers and sold her to the prince. She was then sold several times and ended up owned by a Muslim military commander. He brought her to Algiers to defend the city of Azov against the Russians. Only the commander's fort was left standing and eunuchs wanted to kill and eat her. A religious leader convinced them to only cut one of her buttocks for food. She was taken to Moscow and a nobleman took her as his slave and beat her daily for two years. She managed to escape when he was executed and she worked as a servant in inns around Russia.

The movie that I chose was The House We Live In, which is section of a three-part series on Race and the Power of an Illusion. The film focuses on the institutions and polices that advantage some groups at the expense of others. The movie begins by discussing the concept of race and how it is societally determined. They discuss the massive immigration of Europe, claiming that individuals were separate races and that their “whiteness” had to be won. People could not become citizens of America is they were not white and, so they began petitioning the court to try and prove their whiteness.

I can say, I do agree with you in how you said that back in time we didn’t imagine that women had all these many rights, and this recognition of being everything and a strong figure in our world. It is hard to see how in the ancient era women was know to be a deity figure for many years until our current time we can see a inequality between men and women. I do believed that females need to be treated with respect and be identify as a beautiful figure in every aspect. Meaning that I do believed that women ability to be mother is the most important role.

It is interesting to see that on all fronts women are being paid less due to the perceived thought being able to have children and will follow their husbands. According to Clair Miller, even women without children are paid less due to the company believe they will give up job opportunities due to being married (2017). It is not appropriate to base someone’s pay due to the fact they may or may not one day have children. Especially in today’s time where daycare and flexible work schedule are becoming increasingly popular. The discrepancy between women and men when it comes to saving is interesting in that only 41% of women feel satisfied with her saving while 58 % of men feel satisfied (Miller, 2017). I believe this gape is linked to women being

A woman pushes as hard as she can for the last time. “It’s a baby girl!” the man announces, as the new mother hangs her head in sight of the hardships her baby, Elizabeth, will face. Miles away in a hospital, another woman gives birth to a healthy baby girl, Marley. As she sees her baby for the first time, she smiles knowing all the great adventures this baby will experience in her life. The polygamous mom takes the little girl home to her family, a family where she has more than one mother and many brothers and sisters. As she grows up she lives her life trying to be “proper” and “sweet” in the eyes of the prophet. Somewhere far away, Marley is outside playing with her mother and learning how to be a kid. At the age of fourteen, young girls like Marley are innocent and should be going on dates, having fun with friends, and living their life, but for a fourteen year old Elizabeth, she is married to a man twice her age to be his second wife. As she begins her life with her husband, she sees the jealousy of the first wife and the neglect she feels by her presence. Shortly after, the young girl is replaced by another new wife after having a child. Ever since the day she was born, she had no control over these stages happening. Her fate was determined from time of birth and is determined by men until the day she dies. Her fate will be ruled by the religion of Polygamy.
