Women in Things Fall Apart

Go through your notes on gender differences and other websites dealing with gender studies. Based on your reading, reflect on how these women are treated in the novel. The following questions can help you as you write your reflective piece in your blog:

•  How are the women treated in the novel? Do all members in the community agree with the status quo? Why? 
• What contributions are made by the Igbo women to the survival of their culture? 
• What are the changes in women’s roles in this present world?

Do provide a suitable title for your reflective post. Apart from writing your blog, you are also required to comment on two of your friends' blogs. Your comments should take into account the following points:

• Are their reflections based on opinions, experiences or facts? If they are opinions, are they supported by some form of evidence? Is the evidence trustworthy?
• Is there evidence of synthesis of ideas based on their readings? Is there evidence they read widely to come up to certain conclusions?
