Paper Summary:
This paper discusses how sexism and racism both involve imposing a set of expectations on groups in society and how sexism has not been eliminated from American life any more than racism has. In "Women's Magazines 1940-1960" by Nancy A. Walker, it shows how women's magazines package a set of behaviors, roles, expectations, attitudes, and values related to domesticity and which, of followed, would enclose women in a relatively narrow range of choices. In writing about blacks and how they are treated in American society, Richard Wright in his book "Black Boy" also suggests ways in which blacks are given a packaged set of roles and attitudes to which they are expected to conform. This paper provides a short biography of Richard Wright and attempts to analyze how he would have viewed the expectations and attitudes imposed on women and how alike or how different would he have seen them from those imposed on blacks.
From the Paper:
"Richard Wright was born in 1908 on a plantation outside Natchez, Mississippi. His father was a sharecropper, while his mother taught in a country school. Richard's childhood was spent in one of the most poverty-stricken and rigidly segregated regions of the South. When he was six, his family moved to Memphis, Tennessee, so his father could get a better job, and the father then worked as a night porter in a hotel, while the mother worked as a cook for a white family. Richard's father left the family for another woman son after that, and in 1915 Richard's mother became ill to such a degree that she was an invalid for the rest of her life. Richard, his mother, and his brother then moved to Jackson, Mississippi. to live with Richard's grandmother for a time."
