Discussion+Questions+Ch.22

The women's role, in this chapter, shows the change in the tradition, where the mother works at home and the men work out. The work, the women are doing, does not pay them, but it is outside of their homes. The Ladies' Committee takes in charge of keeping everything clean for other people. The women have responsibilities for their job. This influences Ma and changes from being quiet and following orders to helping out and taking in charger (which shows later in the chapters). back
