Women’s & gender studies

As you know, men and women often have different roles in a relationship. Men often take on the instrumental role. They earn the money to keep the household running and help with chores such as mowing the lawn and changing the oil in the car (of course these are just some examples). Women have the expressive role and provide emotional support to their partner and children, help with homework, cook dinner, wash the clothes, and do the housework, all after working a full day. In some cases, the two share a strong partnership. They value each other’s opinions and listen to each other’s thoughts. This relationship is based on love, respect, and trust.

Think of a famous couple that falls into this category. It can be a pair from history, the arts, politics, etc. Write a brief background on the couple and then explain the role the woman has in the relationship. How has she influenced her husband? What has she done to make herself known as a strong women?
