The Pawnee native americans have different roles or jobs in their tribe for men and women. The women are more fieldworkers and men do the more dangerous stuff. They both have stuff they do together too. The women have many different jobs not just one or two.

The history behind treatment of women has changed throughout time. Women have been said to be weaker than men. Men state that hard work is required more strength and it's their responsibility.

The men cut down trees to plant food. They made traps,nets,and
Women’s suffrage Have you ever thought about women 's rights and equality? It’s not as pretty or memorable as you think it is. But just like Shirley Chisholm said “at present, our country need’s womens idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.” Which is true but back then it certainly wasn’t.
