In "The Revolt of Mother" Freeman described women's role in the 19th century, when women were the only ones responsible for the household chores and for raising the children. In fact, these were the only things they were supposed to be occupied with as they wouldn't go to school like boys nor would they find a job. Freeman also describes the position of the mother in the family, where she couldn't participate in decision-making which concerned the house and the family including her. All important decisions were taken by the husband and even if the wife disagreed she couldn't do anything about it.
Today, in the Western world, women have gained the right to education and to equal opportunities in employment. Their role in the family has also changed as today the father participates in the household chores as well and he is also responsible for bringing up the children. Nowadays, the women can take important decisions concerning their lives and their families.
However, there some remnants from that era that are still with us today. For example, even if women have gained the right to vote there are still less women in the Parliaments than men. In addition to this, there are plenty of jobs in which they prefer to hire men or where women and men are not equally paid. Last but not least, many people still believe that women should have a different role in the family than men.
In conclusion, although the position of women has improved a lot since the era of Freeman, there are still many issues to be resolved.
Answer:
In the poem, the speaker seems to be discussing a pleasant date, as if oblivious to the fact that this is a journey to death. The tone of the poem seems light and perhaps even dismissive of all the scenes passing by, as though these cornerstones of life were not terribly significant. However, the underlying mood of the poem is somewhat sad because the speaker is describing a world she’s leaving behind. This difference between the descriptions of the outing and of dying creates some dramatic irony. The speaker sees but doesn’t really see the world of the living because she’s already dead.
