Pick a period in Western history OR a non-Western traditional society and write about the role of women in that period or society.
For example,
•Examine the role of women in ancient Greek society, Roman society, medieval society, and/or in American society in antebellum South or in the industrial North before the Civil War.
•Examine the role of women in traditional Arabic tribal society, African society, Latin American tribal society, Inuit culture, and so forth. (You can research any one of these topics through the library or by utilizing good online resources; this is a mini research project.)
Focus on one or more than one society, depending on your own interest in the research.
