Gender Investigator
Your job is to determine roles of men and women in Greek society. Apply each of the following questions to both genders: What specific tasks does the man/woman carry out? How is he/she treated by other members of society? What is his/her position or status within both the family and the community? Examine these links:
Relate your findings to the Cinderella story. What would the women (Cinderella, her stepmother, and stepsisters) be expected to do? What role would Cinderella's father play in her life? Who would have supported Cinderella's family and how? How would Cinderella have interacted with men? Think about these questions and others that might relate to the story.
